Here's a couple for ya.


...When you end up sleeping at the school cuz you want to get up early and work on it.

...When you put a car alarm on it so no one can steal it.

...When you tuck the robot into bed and read it a story at night.

- when you have so many ways to know your addicted you make multiple posts
-when you get excited about school being cancelled because it means you can work on the robot all day
- when you wake up at noon and are at the meeting within 20 minutes, in spite of a blizzard
- when your entire day consists of wake up, go to robotics, go home, sleep

You know you are adicted for FIRST when.

1. You hear techno and the first thing that comes to mind is the team social.

2. You are working as an EMT student and you identify call locations on the log to be turned in to your teacher by writing the closest team's number. (I ran calls in the cities teams 207, 259, 410, 606, 687, and 1135 are located in and confused the heck out of my teacher by my ID system)

3. You dont think duct tape fixes everything. You KNOW it does.

4. You pass up an oppertinuty to see your favorite band in concert to drive 350 miles and referee an unofficial comp in the off season, then decide you had WAY more fun at the scrimmage than you could have ever had at a dumb concert.

...when you ask for the time, and when someone responds, you ask, "AM or PM?"

So true. Losing time at Robotics is not hard at all.

Also Asking where is my stripper and no one thinks of the one not for wire.

- When you start your local chapter of FIRSTaholics Anonymous

"Hi, my name is Bill and I am addicted to FIRST"

Bill B.

[Ashley Weed]

- When you anticipate the last Thursday prior to ship date, because you know it is 'move in time' at the wood shop, and you are going to get to be next to the robot (awake and asleep) until the ship time.

- While on this long weekend, one of your non-Robotics friends actually visits you, brings you junk-food and caffeine, because she hasn't seen you since the beginning of January.

[Katie Reynolds]

... When between Lego League, IRI, your team and other teams, you own enough FIRST shirts to wear one per day for a month straight without repeating!
