15 Signs You're On A FRC Team

1. You barely talk to anyone in school, but are a social butterfly at Robotics.


2. Pit scouting somehow always means button collecting.


3. Actual button collecting time is "Let's try to get the rubber bracelets before everyone else does" time.


4. If you went to St. Louis, your face was like this when you saw the pits:

5. You looked forward to out-of-state competitions because you get to stay in a hotel.


6. When your team got picked to be on an alliance, all of you are like...


7. At competitions, you get excited when they play songs that come with a dance.


8. If the team social involves dancing, you're either a wallflower or you dance to every song no matter how vocal you usually are about not liking it.


"I thought you hated One Direction!"


"Oh honey, that's when it's not first Robotics Day in Chicago."

9. If you normally live under a rock when it comes to pop songs, you aren't after competition is over.

Remember when you didn't know any of the words to "Call Me Maybe" and "You Don't Know You're Beautiful?" Can't say that anymore.

10. This was you when your team won an award and walked through the stands to go get it.

11. During match scouting you're either Harry or Ron.


12. Your mascot is fancy as heck.

13. This is a book about one of your robotics T-shirts, isn't it?

If it's not, it's about one of your teammates' T-shirts.

14. You know who Dean Kamen is.

15.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.
