You know you're overdosed on FIRST when....

-You personally build useful inventions for your team during the off season that you really don't need, would probably be better off without, but just look cool to have.

-You find yourself checking Chief Delphi at least once every class period, knowing you have other more important things to do.

From a NEMO perspective.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you go to make a dinner reservation and you've request a reservation for 50!

When listening to the weather channel you notice that the background music is the same music used in the first 15-ish seconds of the "Get ready for FIRST" vidio.

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

When you involuntarily twitch upon hearing the "charge" noise.

When more of your music than not you first heard at a FIRST event.

When there is a power drill on your coffee table.

When you buy a laptop rather than a desktop entirely so you can take it to FIRST events.

When you hate Mondays, not because of the normal reasons to hate Mondays, but because those are the only days we don't have robotics of any sort.
