:smiley: i have an awesome mommy

you know youre addicted to first when you go to a drama tournament and a member on your debate team shows you where their robot build room is (he happened to know) just to see your reaction… you react with an OH EM GEE ROBOT MOMENT for 2 whole days because thats how long that tournament was
:smiley: hahahaha it still amuses me

Your starting to panic because there was no FIRSTcast last week and Greg Needel has posted a thread saying what time there broadcasting tonight!!

#2103

When you have gotten 10+ other students overdosed on FIRST in the past month. :ahh: ::safety:: :smiley:

#2104

When you are wearing your Safety Glasses so much that the back of your ears hurt. ::safety::

#2105

When you leave the shop, sit through a 30 min car ride to get home, play xbox for an hour, then realize your safety glasses are still on the back of your head.

#2106

You began to swear compulsively at any mention of ‘design changes’

#2107

… when on a completely unrelated site you are reading the forums and you notice a guy say he had joined robotics and you bombard him with questions regarding his team and everything FIRST related…

… when after bombarding someone with questions you proceed to make a thread asking if anyone else is awesome enough to be in robotics… XD

When your sitting in a philosophy class in college and an idea pops up in your head for a design because of how your teacher taught you to be more philosophical.

Or, when your working at apple and yet every new device comes out, you want to implement into your every day tasks in the build room or scouting at competitions.

#2109

When you plan on being Dean Kamen for halloween, and need to get some friends for Woodie and Dave.

#2110

You have 3 generations in your family involved in FIRST.

#2111

When you have to annotate an magazine article and class in you convince your group to do the one that has BAE systems mentioned it in. I think they were getting a huge tube bender for aircraft carriers or something like that.:rolleyes:

#2112

When you spend more time at FRC than your house :ahh:

#2113

…when you have been working in the shop and then head over to another high school (that doesn’t have robotics team) and realize that they’ve been giving you funny looks because you still have your safety glasses on.

#2114

When you think about posts for this thread in you spare time/when you can’t sleep!!! :ahh:

#2115

When you had 5 posts on the previous page…

#2116

When you don’t take them off for a few days without noticing they’re on in the first place.

#2117

You get overly excited because your post count is a team that you know!

#2118

When you see this comic on XKCD http://xkcd.com/689/ and realize you know a team that would consider that design and recognise your robot’s trademark in the image (our green lattice aka fence)

#2119

When you have AP Macroeconomics homework to do, a take home test to finish, and reading for a College Freshman English class and rather than procrastinate on Facebook, you open Chief Delphi and start reading threads. XD

#2120

When a friend asks you for a 5, you pull out a 5mm allenkey.
