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

Whenever your non-robotics friend asks about your robot/team, and you get into a really in-depth conversation about every aspect about your robot. To the extent that your friend just walks away from you in the middle of your sentence.

When the passcode for your phone is your team number (come on, hands up all of you)

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

That's just so not secure >_>

I find that in practice most phone passcodes aren't. A birthday, an obvious favourite 4-digit number like the FRC Team, or just "1111" or "1234".

The Android pattern unlock codes aren't necessarily any better because the mind remembers shapes better than it does random sequences of numbers. Which led to this fun moment during build season:

Student: How come everyone seems to know how to get into my phone?
Me (mentor): You mean this? *picks up his phone, enters his pattern unlock code*
Student: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Other students: *all laugh*

when you mentally cheer everytime it's your team number in tennis, even if you're serving (15-40)

When one of your friends from robotics is disappointed that you don't know his phone's passcode.

... you start reading a long chief delphi thread that started when you were five years old and it's still going on almost ten years later.

... you use the words tote or goat in every sentence.

... your robotics shirts start to outnumber all the other shirts you have combined

... you sit at your computer for 20 min. just to think of something funny to say on chief delphi.

... you compete in FLL, FTC, and FRC all in one year just because you can.

... you spend all of build season perfecting a paper airplane just so it can make it to the stage at Worlds. (You know who you are):D

A student on 1111 whose birthday is November 11...

This is actually my life though. Except for the first and last points

When all you really want on your birthday is to be in the build room.

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

When your college calendar comes out and the first thing you investigate is the week of your local competition.

(I discovered my area's regional is during an end-of-term study period. An excuse to skip studying and check out robots?!? Awesome.)

When your CAD rendering of a slice of cheesecake gets 24 replies on CD.

When you leave for college in half an hour, and you realize nothing will ever be the same.
