AP Robotics? Sounds like a cool class to me. They added AP comp Sci principals this year and our school is getting it next year so I guess it's a step in the right direction.

When you have the encrypted game manual up on your computer even though you don't have the password, because you want to be ready when the password is revealed.

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

To be clear that is the whole point of the encrypted manual. They are trying to avoid too many people accessing the website during kickoff.

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

Yep, otherwise the website gets super slow. I'm just waiting to get the password for the manual!

Was thinking the same thing. Got used to the offseason Cd not used to people not knowing everything. I fear for Sunday night football though....

You get safety glasses envy when one of your friends gets a new pair and they aren't all scratched up or broken.

You stare at the timer all-day-long. :]

when you add Stronghold to Wikipedia's Stronghold Disambiguation page

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

...you start talking about how excited you are for robotics at work and are using terms like "build season" "kick off" "kit of parts" "bag day" "Chairmans" "Dean Kamen" "regionals" "Recycle Rush" and "Stronghold", and then you look up at your co-workers faces and realized you basically could have been speaking Swahili and they would have understood about the same amount.

This is my FIRST (hehe did I make a funny? Can I be an elite now?) year doing FIRST (our school just calls it robotics) and I got most of these jokes

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

...you simply build your entire robot for the sole purpose of counting down. Giant mechanical clock, anyone?

--When CAD crashes are a part of life
--When you wanna bang your head in disappointment when people think mecanums are a great idea for 2016 game.

2016 year of broken Mecanum and omni wheels.
Solidworks 2015 year of disorienting views.

But inventor though.
also,
--when you try constraining the ball and realize the person who CADed one for you did it with free form.

when its the day where you are supposed to wear a shirt for your college of choice and you wear a stronghold volunteer shirt.

when you come home disappointed that nobody commented on said shirt.

When you send this email to college board begging for AP Robotics, even though you are a senior and you would not benefit from this class:

Hello College Board,
My name is Gal Egozi, and I am a senior in high school.
I have been participating in robotics for the past four years, and I would like to suggest that it be added as a new AP course.
I feel that there should be robotics in every school in the nation, but the school does not have a reason to fund robotics; I see this problem on my team as well.
I would personally like to see FIRST Robotics incorporated into this course, but there are other programs, such as VEX that are also good.
Even though I cannot benefit from this course, I would like to see an AP Robotics course for future students.
Please consider adding a robotics course to the AP curriculum.
Thanks,
Gal
