Hmm, I didn't think of that one. Where can I find it? :P

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

Here are the ones that I have...now keep in mind these are the old school FIRST timer sounds...interesting stories behind these:
CHARGE.WAV - Startup sound from some version of OS/2
FOGHORN.WAV - Some generic sound found onlnie
BUZZER.WAV - A recording of a space heater's "I'm tipped over!" buzzer

(Stories from a reliable source...FIRST staff member)

FYI - Sounds are in WAV format, convert as needed to suit your phone.

When you see the countdown to kick-off (111 days!), get really excited and say, "Wildstang to kick-off!!" without even realizing it until your sister asks you what you are talking about. :D

... when you are trying to think of ideas for your football flinging OCCRA Robot and one of the sites you come across while Googleing football launcher is a FIRST team's and their kickoff countdown (kudos to team 230) makes your day while simultaneously depressing you because kickoff is still over 100 days away...

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

...you're doing research for a college term paper (about 'No Child Left Behind') and you come across an article which talks about a school where students build these battlebots** and go to a national competition. Curious, you google the school in question and find out that they do indeed have a FIRST Robotics team! And then you sit there and chuckle for the rest of the class period because every where you turn, FIRST is in the air!

(The article then states how this hands-on experience is what is needed with 'No Child Left Behind'. )

**This was a direct statement in the article, not my own word choice.
