When you see a book cover that is purple and green... and immediately say "Super Cell".

When either your mom or your dad says "That should go on a certain website" right after the above incident.

When you've been up so late CADing that you try to do your history homework and upon handing it in the next day, you realize that all your sentences trail off into robotics stuff.

"Emilio Aguinaldo: He was an activist and believed that America had made a promise not to drill tons of holes in this bot."

"The Platt Amendment: The U.S. wrote this bill in response to Cuba’s interest in the new control system."

-When, after you read that article and the one about the new tank, you start thinking of how to use their climbing idea for your next bot.
-When you start trying to think of how to make the treads in an unconventional way.
-When you read the Dean Kamen article, you begin to laugh/cry when you think that you're one of the 117,000.
-When you aren't suprised by half of what the team in the article had to do.
-When you're reading the Dean Kamen article, you start thinking of all the different threads on Chief Delphi.

guilty.

- When you [and your team] spent 4 months arguing <-literally<- back and forth with Computer Services to get Chief Delphi unblocked.
-When you [and a friend] completely interupt class by yelling "yes" and high-fiving because the above was accomplished.

[Phreadumb]

-When you right an essay comparing the new 2009 control system to the previous one for debate class
