...you realize the only custom made part on the robot is all the square bearing blocks
...you force Kapp to square large numbers in his head
...you argue over a decimal vs fractional answer and then realize you're both right
...you know the robot's dimensions by heart
...you have at least two 5/32 allen wrenches in your personal life

...you feel like you're still wearing a hat after you take it off.
...you tell a restaurant to celebrate a mentor's birthday.
...you feel like you still have things in your pockets.
...you are doing better a nationals and wonder why the robot is still working.
...you think a compressor sparking up and looking like a jet engine is normal.
...you put a new motor on the robot, break the motor, and revert it back to the old motor in a period of an hour.
...you realize our cart could be more ghetto/worse than it is.
...you realize the geeky, smart, skinny kid (Kapp) eats more than anyone on the team.
...you still wonder how the robot isn't broken yet.
