when you hear "Sweet Caroline" on the radio, and the first thing you think of is Team 33, The Killer Bees

That's awesome. I always think of 234, Cyber Blue, when I hear it or sing it and I always smile. Always.

Thanks for the memories, 234.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one

When you can walk around your house and find a pleathora of buttons from different teams and sponsors.

When you can't wait for school to start, because you can resume Robotics meetings, and it means Kick-Off is coming soon.

Also, when you get super happy that this thread is approaching your rather high team number (2410)

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

When you realize the above quote in this thread IS your team number!

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

When you find that in the heat, some of the team buttons you got at competition have fused to your team shirt

I didn't hear it during IRI. I was quite disappointed.


Bum-bum-bah.

When you notice that the GRUB bootloader takes up your team number in Kilobytes of memory

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

I know that 2194 made the top cover of their robot out of printed cardboard. I was actually pretty surprised that it didn't get trashed, considering the hole in the top of our bot from someone's wheel.

When you've been waiting for the above post so you can be the 2410th post, and make your captain proud!

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

At your back to school rave, you and your robotics friends hear the beginning of 'Satisfaction' and get very excited only to realize its a rap remix. And then you and your friends rant to your mother about them only playing top 40 :(

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

When you see a group of people in matching shirts you immediately think of being at a FIRST competition, and your sister knows you're about to scream your teams song to see who calls back and she stops you so you won't embarrass her.

It was worth it, although the group didn't call back and skirted away as quickly as they could. :D

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

OMG! That annoyed me as well!!!!
I seriously thought it was about FIRST what with the space ship.... I think a team should make a spoof off of it where the ending object is their robot.

...When fitting two robots in your garage is more important than fitting your car in.


That's why our robot is protected with 3/8in thick bulletproof Lexan. That's 50% thicker than what MythBusters used to use.

What's your team song? Ours is "A Team." That would seem pretty obvious to anyone who has been to a competition with us, as our main team chant involves yelling the letter "A" repeatedly.
