Chief Delphi - You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...

When people ask why I keep a multimeter in my brief case, my stock answer is "because I don't need it often enough to justify keeping it in my pocket".

That is a beautiful response! My standard response is "you don't?!"

I have to dump my pockets before I fly, go to court, or enter a psych ward.

You sir need one of these Swiss Tech Utili-keys. I have made it past security check points well over a dozen times with mine(I do have a fat key chain to help hid it to be fair) and it is so cheap at $10 that even if they DO find it I can just buy a new one without caring. You can use it as your knife/saw, scissors, and screwdriver when you can't have the real ones. They are fantastic!

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when the vast majority of your phone and PC's search history consists of Chief Delphi, The Blue Alliance, and various teams' websites.

When you visit a craft fair and instead of buying anything you spend all your time examining each exhibitor's 10x10 booth space and looking for ideas for your pit!

Don't use so many ideas from the craft fair that you forget to leave room to work on the robot, or to get it in and out of the pit!

You haven't seen a certain friend for years, but you're hyped over kickoff and think that everything else is WAY less awesome. :]

OMG: Less than 48 hours until kickoff. :yikes:
