Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

...when your sitting in chem and you and the 3 other robotics team members suddenly all yell out machina and do a robot dance (unplanned) once the teacher says machine.

...despite the need for good hygiene, you wear your teams uniform for days/weeks at a time.

Re: You know you're addicted to FIRST when...Fantasy FIRST version.

*You spend a few hours on Chiefdelphi because your participating in a Fantasy FIRST draft and your hoping that no one will snatch up your third round steal...

* You actually scout robots for Fantasy FIRST

* You check the results to see how your fantasy FIRST team performed

* You actually take the time to compile stats to see who won (right Jess ? )

*You participate in NUMEROUS Fantasy FIRST leagues

*You broker food, shirts and other real world possessions to have a stud robot for your Fantasy FIRST team

* You actually secretly root against your own robot because you have two of your Fantasy FIRST robots going against it and the guy in FIRST place has your robot.

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
