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

When it takes having the regional director of your FIRST program giving you a hug as you high-five the judges to make you realize YOU'RE GOING TO ATLANTA... (and, as a plus, you have tears of joy pouring off your face the whole time)

Thanks Deb !!!! (Debra Mumm-Hill is the Pacific Northwest regional director)

...When you wake up at 1 in the morning, scribble a note about debugging image processing on your arm, and fall back asleep

...when you're convinced that your robot is actually plotting against you

...when you decide that a cRIO isn't that bad of a pillow after all

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

When your friends get angry with you because you are constantly talking about robotics. They end up abandoning the few of you that are on the team and walk away. They also get angry when facebook threads get overrun with robotics talk.

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

When you get a toolbox for christmas and immediately say "this won't hold all my tools"

Your teacher says this isn't rocket science and you think to yourself "rocket science is easier"

when the robotics season is over you go home and build your own robot because you have nothing better to do.

you think in if statements

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

On your 8 hour drive back from Atlanta you begin re-writing songs to have FIRST related lyrics
(We started with the 12 Days of Competition and Dean Had a Little Plan, which were the 2 remotely decent ones, and progressed on to Oops I Broke the Robot, Build Build Build Your Bot and I've Been Working On The Robot. We were getting pretty delusional...)

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

when everyone in the school can hear you coming because you fill your ENTIRE book bag with buttons.

when you hear the teacher talk about odds and probability and immediately think of percentage of accuracy for human players

in the lack of building a robot, you immediatly take over your mom's garage and start to manufacture a rail gun and a jacob's ladder.

you start to think up plans for wind turbines for something to do.

you ask people to show gracious professionalism in everyday conversations.

your boutonniere for prom is made from a graphics card, some electronics parts, and LED's.

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

any way you could post lyrics:?

- you know you've overdosed on FIRST when you actually care to find out the lyrics to aforementioned songs.......

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

when you realize that you lnoe have 20+ othrr teams shirts and 30 + robotics related shirts

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

You ask your prom date (who is also on your team) if he will wear red converses with his tux so he'll be cool like Woodie.

He agrees to do so and then asks if he can sign your dress.

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

...You text everyone in your contacts (all the ones that weren't in Atlanta) in all caps saying OMG WE GOT OUR ROBOT SIGNED BY DEAN KAMEN AND WOODIE FLOWERS! then your friends send you back 10 question marks. :yikes:

really we did get it signed by both of them. the team decided we are framing our polycarbonate that they signed i will put a picture up soon!

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

Already done:

12 Days of Competition

It's only the 12 Days and Dean's Plan ones

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

...you read this and think, "Gee, I wonder how it would be if they made a CD or DVD of their team performing these lyrics, and then share it with the other teams?"

a la Its a Robotics Life

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

- When someone walks up to you after Atlanta and you hand them one of your team's buttons thinking they wanna trade.:yikes:

-When you're playing with legos and you find yourself building something that can move a mini orbit ball into a cup:]

-When you find yourself comming up with new things to spell with your team's poster letters in your free time.

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

-When you submit your Inventor award and realize that you spelled your team name wrong on the bumpers.
-Hackysack and Frisbee have become the most interesting part of Atlanta, not the competition.
-You realize how awesome Woodie's shoes are. (Atlanta 09)
-You’re willing to drive 14+ hours in one day to go to a competition.
-sexual innuendos involving orbit balls (and any robot references) become a normal part of conversation.

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

---When you get back and have the urge to chant anything, anything at all from Atlanta. For instance:

...When I say Blue you say Cheese! Blue! Cheese! Blue! Cheese!Cheese! Blue! Cheese!

...When I say Atlanta you say Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! WHOOH!!!

...When I say Hillshire you say Farm! Hillshire! Farm! Hillshire! Farm! Hillshire! Farm! GO MEAT!


(PS: Had a great time at Atlanta. Hope to see everyone again!)

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

... you still have your FIRST after-party wristband and don't take it off until it falls off... but it's made of plastic ;)
... your team jacket is covered in buttons from miscellaneous teams...
... you are already searching for a new tiara in preparation for being pit queen next year...
... you have days worth of makeup work yet you find yourself on chief delphi...
... you have experienced multiple stomachaches from dehydration and refusing to pay $3.50 for a bottle of water at the arena...
... you frown at the stairs at school, wishing they were escalators...
... you have gotten lost in the georgia world congress building...
... you cry because the season's really over after nationals, not because you didn't come home with any awards...
... you've gotten used to seeing people riding around on segways...
... you hate anyone who has the nerve to complain about car rides, butt pain, or aching legs (18 hours to atlanta, sitting down the whole time and then in the stands, standing in the pits all day)
... you ask your teacher for 15 points rather than 2 for that last question you answered in the last 20 seconds of class time (stole that one from nationals)
... you wonder what you are going to do without your favorite seniors next year...
... you think FIRST should be year-round...
... you're wearing so much spiritwear from other teams, nobody can tell what team you're from (various necklaces, buttons, temporary hair color, bracelets/wristbands, stickers, etc.)
... you realize your best friends in the world are scouting with you by your side, your most satisfying accomplishment is driving around scoring orbit balls on the regolith field, your heros are dean kamen and woodie flowers, and the best thing that's ever happened to you is FIRST :)

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

When...

You use the word Coopretiton outside of Competitions, and out of contex.

When you walk down the hall at school and someone yells EXCUSE ME! you instantly yell ROBOT COMING THREW! right back.

when after walking a long time for the whole day, and your feet are extremely sore, and you are about to get blisters on your feet. you say: "At least it isn't Atlanta."

you leave for lunch one hour before hand so you can beat the long lines.

Your the only group of people that don't tan on a "vacation" to Atlanta.

You know:
Don't Stop Believing
The Macarana
and several other songs, that were popular two to twenty years ago.

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

When people start talking about 4/20 at school and you start wondering who Team 420 is.

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

You use the word coopertition in a scholarship essay, have to explain what it means, and then brag about getting to see it signed into a trademark in person.

You have to appease your underclassmen's obsession with crab drive by telling them they can make a t-shirt launcher so they don't try and build next years chassis.

Your entire team steals all the bean bags and half the couches in the robo lounge and falls asleep during lunchtime because they were up all night working on scouting reports(some of you may have seen us =D)

While half asleep in the robo lounge you hear the demonstration of Math CAD and think it's the best thing in the world because it can do Calculus

You make gear ratio jokes about the Teacup ride at the Championship afterparty

When your primary reasoning for winning your regional is that a Pi team couldn't lose on Pi day:D

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

...you've been to numerous distant cities, but you've never actually seen the city, because you spend all your time there in one or two buildings and the hotel.

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

we also got dean and Woodie's signatures, and paul's, and Doc T's (CEO NI), and Mark's...

instead of framing the lexan sheet, we plan on transferring it from robot to robot each year (a practice that dean and Woodie approved of when told about it.)

will post pictures soon...

also,

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

you successful confuse a top NASA telecommunications engineer with a MATH PROBLEM (look at the bottom of http://www.riverdalerobotics.com for the formula)

when your team mentors point out witch parts of the plane they designed on the flights to and from Atlanta (we are lucky to have 3 Boeing mentors!)

when as you go through airport security, you realize that you left a pair of CALIPERS in your backpack, along with a coupple pairs of pliers! DOH...

then, you notice a guy with a full socket wrench set and immediately know he's a FIRSTer too...

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

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when...
-you cry when the season is over
-when you realize your college is 3 hours away from your team and you decide to transfer
-when all you talk about after spring break is robotics and you are called a "robotics whore"

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

...when your own parents tell you to shut up about robotics and block your computer from going on chief delpho

...when everything starts looking like a robot

...when your own parents tell you that if you dont stop talking about FIRST, they threaten to send you to a community college (not that anything is wrong with that.. its more economical IMO)

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

When someone steps in front of you in the hall and you yell out "10 points, impeding" more than a year after that game.

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

Sorry if these are repeated...

...when you hear a kid say "oink oink" and you say in your head "BOOM!"

...when you are learning about galileo, and you start cheering "GALI-LEO!"
(or any other of the division names)

...when you overhear someone talking about a chairman, and you start cheering hysterically.

...when you go to the store, and the total price is a team number you recognize.

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

Is everyone copying all the things from page 1 and posting them here? I'm having major deja vu...

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

When you see a tye-dye shirt and look for the WildStang logo.

This actually happened to me.

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

When you find yourself thinking up amazing team alliances in your spare time

When you open a word document and try to list every team in your state, in order

When you think back upon the year's Dean Speeches, and try to critique them

When the season is over, but you're still making revisions to the past year's robot

When you find yourself still txting the girl you met at robo prom.

When you call a girl at school a robo ho, and expect everyone else to know what that means.

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

Funny story. On my way to my first meeting with this strange FRC team that was going to help me rebuild an FTC robot for Atlanta 08, my family got some Burger King, and the price of the meal came out to $17.14. Then I found out that was the team's number ^_^

Every other time I go to McDonald's my price comes out to $5.37. Go Chargers!

When you spend your study halls on Chief Delphi learning about all the robots in your division.

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

I was intending to google Andy Timmons (he is a guitarist if you aren't familiar), but instead typed AndyMark...

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

a member of our team actually got order number 1771 at burger king, and then a couple weeks later, another member paid $17.71 for food at wendy's

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

When you ask to do the model that you made of this year's robot for your reverse engineering project in IED (Introduction to Engineering Design).

Unfortunately the teacher (who is also one of our Robotics Instructors/Coaches) said no because there were too many parts, he didn't want me disassembling the bot, and he didn't want to grade that large/complex of a product.

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

When I receive an official FIRST email with the word "crapet" and think it is yet another new word added to the Lunacy lingo this year before realizing it is just a typo and they meant carpet.

- One of your assistant principles sees any team member and starts chanting 329
- You call your advisor daddy
- While calling the team president you wake him up, he was dreaming that he was scouting for fun.
- You can't go a day with out talking about robotics.
- You believe that blood doesn't run through you veins, but mountain dew does.

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

I 2nd both of these statements

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

...when you still use "i was in atlanta" as an excuse many days after returning home. and you plan to keep on using it, for the rest of the year.

so while in georgia i made a sport out of going the opposite way up/down the massive escalators. it is amazingly fun, and good exercise. especially on the sets where there are two escalators going in the same direction so you can race teammates. haha

...you look at your watch and try to figure out which team the time represents.

...your excuse for not giving blood at a blood drive at school is that you bled enough on the robot and pit floor after catching your finger in a chain/sprocket. yay stiches...

When you are on facebook and look down and notice its 11:47 and you try to get a web-hug raffle ticket.....really

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

I'm not sure you could get enough unique items for bingo (don't you need a few dozen?), but you probably could come up with 9 items for Sudoku. You could use robot parts symbols for regular FRC Sudoku, and special Lunacy items for Lunacy Sudoku. If you did it in color, you could use 3 moon rocks, and would only require 6 more items.

Then you could start a Lunacy Sudoku thread under the Games/Trivia subforum. I might even play! :D

The added "benefit" of starting such a forum is that you would prove you're totally overdosed on FIRST... as if anyone has a doubt!

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

...you're driving on the highway and a team name pops into your head every time you see a mile marker (ex.:47=Chief Delphi, 33=Killer Bees.....)

it gets to the extreme when...

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

Today while in the hall talking to a fellow robotics member, one of our friends tried to throw a frisbee at whom i was talking to...

Instead it hit my eye... anyone wanna guess the first thought that went through my head?

...If only I was wearing my safety glasses...::ouch::

A friend of mine caught herself saying "That's not gracious professionalism" to someone who isn't a robotics member... They gave her a funny look.

When at work totals, change, and prices have team numbers in them and you think of their name. (I can come up with at least 1 in every customer, if I am watching closely. And during the 2008 Championships, I saw team numbers 1024, 1114, 330, 148, 233, and 968 five of which made it to Einstein)
