..... and the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that.......... all the way till you cannot find any more.

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

When ever you see a triangle, circle, and square anywhere near each other you subconsciously create the FIRST logo

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

when you could identify most of the teams and robots seen (even in the background) in the i.Am.FIRST special.

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

And when people ask what you are doing, you say "Scouting"

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

when you call team members yelling at them "we need to fundraise cuz WE ARE GOING TO NATIONALS!" after watching i.am.first and not making it in 2011 </3

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

when your idea of fun on a sunday night is making recruitment posters for next year

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

When you start telling time based on team numbers.
Examples:
It's Wildstang time (1:11)
It's Thunderchickens time (1:48)
It's Cheesy Poof's time (2:54)
etc. etc. etc.

I find myself doing this a lot lately.

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

Uhh, I know that the Thunderchickens and Robowranglers are pretty tight, but I wasn't aware that they switched numbers...

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

You not only tell time by team number, but you also tell your friends the time by team number :D

You're willing to pay a friend rent so you can have locker 1114 (Simbotics)

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

when anyone asks you the time and you automatically reply 11:26! (or your team #...) before checking your phone for the real time.

when you stop asking members of your team the time because of this...

when you're cashing people out at work and with each total you say to the customer, in your head you attach an frc team name

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

When your idea of a fun car ride home from IRI is listing as many teams as you possibly can in order. starting with the Juggernauts. Up to 3XXX.

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

Hmm.. Whatever could you mean?

You might be addicted if you take that list, write it down, and count how many teams you know... 115.

You might also know you're addicted when...

• You have two kids from your team post before you, and do the exact same things as both of them.
• Your idea of spending your summer is researching drive bases
• You draw sketches of Swerve drive modules in extra time
• You watched the i.am.FIRST special on ABC. You then proceeded to watch it twice since then.
• You have the finals matches your teams were in on your iPod
• You're waiting for FRC Ice Cream bars, with your favorite teams' robots on them (Tell me that isn't a good idea!)
• You spent 30 minutes replacing the first half of "Like a G6" lyrics with robotics stuff
• When you get hit in the face with a flaming marshmallow, you're more concerned about the marshmallow that got on your team shirt
• You graduated and have no idea what to do with your life now =/

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

When some post they don't know what to do you immediately think of the friends your trying to convince to mentor.

When you're determined to stay involved with mentoring your team after moving half way across the country.

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

When you're already begging your boss in August for as many weekends off as possible in March, since you want to referee an event every week.

When one of the only things you need to do to make your life complete is referee on Einstein

When one of the only other things to complete your life was refereeing at IRI, and that happened your first year of reffing. (When I got the email, I literally jumped up and started yelling I was so excited)

When you and your best friend hope to one day be "FIRST famous" enough to judge the IRI talent show.

When you consider Gary Voshol one of your heroes.

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

=) at the time it wasn't so hilarious, but that above was awesome ^^

...and, when you still have scouting data from FLR and buckeye on your iPod notes

when you're using you're fake iPad that's actually a notebook of paper (given to you by your Xerox mentor) for taking notes at colleges, and you see the scouting notes you took down at IRI and spend awhile going through it and going "i remember that match..."
