...when you and your team friends are waiting in front of a restaurant for your ride to come, so you play chacha slide, YMCA, macarena, cupid shuffle, etc. and dance to it in order to keep yourselves occupied.

...when you get REALLY excited when you see this at the top of the screen 2 years after posting it in the "Quotes that were said during build season" thread...

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

When you're on spring break, and you're still on CD and talking with your team.

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

When your got on vacation on spring break and are planning to spend the first 3 days of vaction watching webcasts of your team at states.

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

-You cut out a "MAIN BREAKER" label and stick it above the lightswitch in your room. Both of them.

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

When you have a dream that MOE beat your high school in basketball, and when you wake up, you go on CD to tell people.

(also applies to having a dream about being an alliance partner with 469, and then learning that their robot is powered by maple syrup. You then go out to a grocery store and learn that the greater Atlanta area is out of maple syrup. Of course, you need to get maple syrup, so you make your own from a maple tree that you just happened to have in the pit.)

There were a LOT of FIRST references within our game of monopoly with fellow teammates. Most of these references were made by a friend and I.

-Whenever someone would land on a bought railroad and owed $25, we would say in an announcer voice "RAIDER ROBOTIX"
-Whenever someone bought houses (in this model, houses are stacked), we would say "oh snap, stack attack"
-We said "This game is Lunacy"
-Whenever someone landed on Luxury Tax ($75), we say in an announcer voice "ROBO RAIDERS"
-When our friend kept making a lot of money, we said she was "Rackin and Rollin"

On top of the monopoly game, we shared our knowledge of how many team names and numbers we know (50+).

Do I hear a possible fund raiser? "Monopoly: FIRST Edition Educates teams on FIRST teams and robot types!" (Or maybe just the different regionals... With Atlanta Park Place, and St. Louis being Board walk.) :yikes:

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

I would buy FIRSTopoly...

Replace the railroads with drivetrains (swerve, mecanum, holonomic)
Go is replaced with Kickoff: Collect KOP
Jail replaced with un-GP or something along those lines
Replace the monopoly guy with Dean Kamen
Replace the electric company and water works with Andymark and NI
Game pieces are replaced with models of FIRST game pieces (orbit ball, tetra, soccer ball, etc.)

If I manage to get the graphic design department on this, I want to bring this to champs.

Bah humbug... I'm still going to try bringing it to champs.

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

At the very least, we could make them one at a time to sell to other teams. Don't go mass, just teams. (And hey, at the very least, thats over 1,00 teams. :D )

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

-You have read all of the posts in this thread~
-When you are sad that there are no more posts in this thread to read. :(

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

Best. Dream. Ever.

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

-When all you can talk about is FIRST, because of course it is your life!

I have to agree with mosts of the posts though. It is amazing how FIRST affects us so deeply!
