Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

When you try to use other forums and then can't because they are not CD.

When you see a bar across the screen on a forum and you think to yourself, "That should be CD Orange"

When CD Orange is an actual color in your mind. (As is 233 Pink and Moe/Chicken Green)

When you have to plan what events you are going to just so you won't go to too many and stand a chance of passing your Winter term classes.

When "this one time at band camp" and "this one time at a robotics meeting" become interchangable, and come up so often you get ignorned by your friends. As well as approximately half the robotics team is in marching band.

The same thing happened for my team last year >.< about 7/8 of my team was in the band! (so to be exact 3 members on my team were not in the band.)

When you make everything clear (like 1714) to continue a pun from another thread.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

- when you have a fever of 103 but you go to school so that your parents wont keep you from going to robotics that night

- when your robotics team tells you to go home and you refuse because you have too much to do before the next meeting

- when you finally are forced out of your build site only to go home and work on more robotics stuff

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

This is actually something that happened to my mom today:

There was an unknown laptop and bag in our van today after my brother was driving around some friends and she opened it up to find if any identification was in the bag and after opening the first pocket said, "Oh, it's someone from robotics!" and she pulled out some type of software CD from itellitek.

When I am going to skip most of Halloween (personally one of my favorite holidays) to go a robotics competition. Brunswick Eruption ftw!
