When you see a book cover that is purple and green... and immediately say "Super Cell".

When either your mom or your dad says "That should go on a certain website" right after the above incident.

When you've been up so late CADing that you try to do your history homework and upon handing it in the next day, you realize that all your sentences trail off into robotics stuff.

"Emilio Aguinaldo: He was an activist and believed that America had made a promise not to drill tons of holes in this bot."

"The Platt Amendment: The U.S. wrote this bill in response to Cuba’s interest in the new control system."

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

when both you and your gf are on seperate teams and you talk about robotics all the time (247+280 =D)

When your friends ask when robotics season is going to be over so that youll talk about something else.

When you respond to the above with shouting never!!

Much love for robotics and 247 Da' Bears! and My favoritest Bear!!

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

When half of your friends are in robotics and the constant topic is "Those (insert good bot here), what to do about them...hm....."

When you stop a friend in the hall to go "I had a brainstorm in math! how about we put that thing there instead of the other place" and they get exactly what that means

When you have 30 emails...all robotics scheduling

When you say your busy after school with your girlfriend....but its only robotics (shout out to joey here)

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

when your license plate IS your team number, FRC1807.

when looking through the latest Popular Science, you immediately skipped all the cool products and went straight to the article about Dean Kamen and FIRST.

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

When you actually have, then spent the rest of the day hanging your head in shame :(

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

when you actually have, but there was a robot coming through... (on your way to a school assembly where you were about to demo the bot)

and, why would you hang your head in shame??? you must not have overdosed on first yet!

When you have an experience and think, "hmm. Would that mean I'm dedicated, addicted, or have overdosed? I don't want to put it in the wrong thread..."

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

- When you manage to write more than a page about FIRST in an essay question on a test.

(Guilty as of this morning.)

- When you go to CD before checking email, Facebook, etc.

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

-When, after you read that article and the one about the new tank, you start thinking of how to use their climbing idea for your next bot.
-When you start trying to think of how to make the treads in an unconventional way.
-When you read the Dean Kamen article, you begin to laugh/cry when you think that you're one of the 117,000.
-When you aren't suprised by half of what the team in the article had to do.
-When you're reading the Dean Kamen article, you start thinking of all the different threads on Chief Delphi.

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

Not gonna lie, I do both of these. The essay was actually not a test, it was an application for a position at school.

CD is my most visited site at both work and in both browsers on my computer (one in each OS)

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

When you are still waiting to post on your team number, and you are getting worried that you are going to miss it, because it is getting closer. (Almost there)

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

guilty.

- When you [and your team] spent 4 months arguing <-literally<- back and forth with Computer Services to get Chief Delphi unblocked.
-When you [and a friend] completely interupt class by yelling "yes" and high-fiving because the above was accomplished.

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

-When you right an essay comparing the new 2009 control system to the previous one for debate class
