You know you've been in FIRST too long...

[BRosser314]

When your in Trig class and your teacher says somehting about using Pi you dont think of 3.14 you think of the ways and reasons we should change the team name

[anna~marie]

when you can finally convince all your friends to join the team simply because they want to find out what you won't shut up about

-When you know all the word to the Cha Cha Slide, and have these uncontrolable urges to dance when ever someone says left or right.

-When you forget what birthday cake tastes like without metal shavings in it.(havent had a metal-less cake since 4th grade, and imm almost done with High school now)

-The first famous person you ever met in FIRST was Jeb Bush( If anyone remembers, that was about 7 years ago)

-when your done early with a test,flip the paper over, and imediatly start drawing FIRST symbols,and designing a new team T-Shirt(I'm guilty of that, its not even funny)

-When you pray for just enough snow to keep the soda cold outside the metal shop door.

1. When you try to make it so your team meets more often because you think your team is behind schedual.
2. When all your mentors know where your house is because they have to drive you home at 3am all the time.
3. When you do all your homework in advance for a whole week on the day you dont meet on.
4. When you write papers about robotics and other technical stuff in english class, because its the only thing you think about.
5. When you design an entire robot in CAD just for fun during the off season.
6. When you prototype your idea for a design using VEX the day after kickoff- and it works

You know you've been in FIRST too long when you pick up a CD and one of the songs makes you go "Hey, isn't that one of the songs they play at competitions?"

(Sirius from The Alan Parsons Project, for the record. They play it during transition periods sometimes, right?)

[Chief Samwize]

"Pot" means potentiameter, not a plant.

[mechanicalbrain]

When ChiefDelphi creates a smiley ( ) for your teams mascot.
If you don't get this take a look at my avatar.

[KrtZer0]

when your first aid kit and tool box are the same thing.
when you know how to splint a potential broken finger with a bolt and some duct tape
when you refuse to go to a hospital because you dont want there to be an argument in the school board about somebody breaking something else during robotics
when the real reason that you wouldnt go was that you were making a prototype of a prototype out of a treadmill and some plywood, and you needed to know how it would work.
when you still still wince using the right side of the keyboard because you simply refused to even go get some ice

when you fall asleep at night and wake up staring at the ChiefDelphi forums

[InnocentBlond]

When you see the words "FIRST STUDENTS" on the side of your school bus and get excited

When you spend 5 hours going to 15 different stores looking for poof balls and come back empty handed because they have all been sold to the other San Diego teams

When you see a message on the official Poof Ball website directed to FIRST robotics teams. Check the site:

...when you're dating a guy, he's totally into you, but then he decides to ignore you because he thinks you spend too much time building robots with other guys.
(aw, come on! they're like brothers!)
