...when you try to think of one tiny aspect of robotics to start a new thread on, just watch other addicts post in it!

...when you are volunteering as a scorekeeper at an FLL event and are on CD in between matches :D

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

You know your addicted when you wake up in the middle of the night and have to go on your computer to check out a new design you were thinking of

You can't sleep the next night because you are thinking about your design despite the fact you have an Physics 201 test the next day and it is 1 AM.

You can't ever be out of the system, FIRST is for life! Now the Game Hint thread is closer to 600 posts. :D

You know you are overdosed on robotics when you continued searching every radio shack even though any hope of a goldenhexbug was long gone, simply because you want to find any hexbug, and then carry around the tiny robot in your purse.

you know you are overdosed on robotics when you say "boyfriend, what boyfriend...oops, i was thinking about FIRST"

you know you are overdosed on robotics when you know the day you are taking the SAT because it is 21 days after kick off. studying? i don't think so.

This is how I know i've infected my friends--

My friend looks through my purse, finds safety glasses and a screwdriver, and says-- wait.....Kickoff isn't for two weeks!
