When you do your senior project on Robotics Programs and Student Success. :D

...you go to a restaurant to eat with friends after church, and after the tables are suitably arranged, someone says, "OK, slide to the left!" and you think of that cha-cha dance from the competition.

...when you start naming teams that won't exist for a few years, based on the numbers they'll have(#6022---Avogadro's Army)

when you are in taco bell and you hear them call an order, and you look around to try to find that team

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

When you pick your dorm room based on the number. Seeing as how room selection was right after Worlds last year I settled on 341, it must be lucky, right? :D

1.When whenever you hear a bell of some sort, you yell "MINIBOT TIME!!!!", and then after realizing that nobody is deploying after 3 seconds, you try yelling to your drivers, and realize that the bell was the school bell, and you are supposed to be in 3rd period at that time.

2. Whenever you are carrying a heavy load, or see someone carrying a heavy load in a crowded place, you start yelling "ROBOT!!!" at the top of your lungs.

3. When your team-mates are with you when you yell "ROBOT!!!", and they all start yelling.

4. When your physics teacher starts making jokes during class from the competition, and the next day an event from the regional about a robot falling over is on your test. The question number is the number of the team who's robot fell.

you dream of building a car with interchangeable red and blue bumpers

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

Either a low number team fell over or you have quite a few questions on your tests...

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when:
You're friends feel legitimately concerned you're too into robotics.

You've accidentally spent a class period writing down all the different drivetrains and designing out the ones you want to try out offseason.

You decided that as an offseason project you want to build a segway since you don't have the money to buy a segway.

You're idea of a great Saturday afternoon was being holed up in your room with a bottle of Mountain Dew watching the Michigan State Championships and being in the Chatroom on Ustream.
Also, the same night, you spent 4 or 5 hours downloading each and every MSC Video on the FiM channel on Youtube.

You're sure there are other moments that shouldn't go unsung, but you can't remember all of them.

You've posted on this thread more times then you feel you're entitled to.

......You demanded a refund at the Blockbuster when you realized that 'Driving Ms.Daisy' had no robots in it.

..... If you come back from a competition sounding like you are wearing chain mail.

..... Your family has gotten the full chronicle of your build season.

..... You dont yell at the comp. team, you yell at the robot.

..... You want your team number tattooed on your forehead.

..... Your poems for English class begin to artfully describe your team/your bot/your last competition.

..... Your bot has a gender (Im guilty of that)

..... You give your robots hugs.

..... Your favorite bracelet is a roller chain.

..you can't stop beaming over the 25 incoming freshmen who signed up for our team after seeing us at the Virginia Regional, and hearing your director say: "I don't care what anyone says, this is the best robot and the best team."

All the other clubs at my school can BUZZ OFF. :D

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

But "Driving MISS Daisy" stars Morgan Freeman, who is featured in the latest FIRST commercial. I wonder if Team 341 will let him drive Miss Daisy 10.

When your a senior and all your friends have a count down to graduation but your countdown is for St. Louis. 15 days 8 hours 32 minutes 28 seconds

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

YES! Oh my Lord, if the lady that played Miss Daisy was still around (Rest in Peace, Jessica Tandy) she would need to come too!!!

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

you know you've overdosed on FIRST when;
you see a giant banana or ninja and want to give them a free hug.
you replace sunglasses with saftey glasses for 6 weeks straight.

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