When your science class has to do a project concerning racing (sown) moles, you try to think of ways to disguise your robot. Then came the vex kit...

You mean this hat?
This is what happens when we aren't in OVERDRIVE (overused pun intended).

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

yes,

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you go to cut your nails but you can't find your nail clippers, but yet you look over at your toolbox sitting in your room and think, ah snips that will work!

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

Ow!

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

I've done that too, but it wasn't in my room. I am not fortunate enough to have my own tool box.

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

...Google puts up the archives from 2001 and your first thought is to go and look up FIRST and your team's old website. (It's actually pretty cool.)

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

You've posted in this thread at least 3 times.

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

You read this post and think, "Only 3 times? That's not really overdosed!" :ahh:

When you are at a math meet in the middle of a round and suddenly you have a very strong urge to start screaming some robotics chant, but you have to suppress it!

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

...When you get people looking at you and you hear people wispering "Look at his hat" to one another. Because you are wearing your new(3rd) FIRST Hat that has fiberoptics in the logo that flash while you are walking around stores and parking lots.

...When you tell Radio Shack that they don't have the right type of resistor for your hat that has LEDs in it, and of course it is a robotics hat.

...When you are programming a Fantasy Robotics League Website during the entire Physics class in the classroom instead of working on your Forces packets that there will be a test on the next day on that stuff.

...When you need to remind Brandon to finish the CD version so you (a scorer/draft runner for Season Long Fantasy FIRST) have an easier job.

...When you know that the CD version exists.

...When you are that into Fantasy FIRST...

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

No I know that there is a CD version, but I am actually programming a website like people use for Fantasy Football, or Baseball, Hockey, etc. but FIRST Robotics. Sorry to say I think this will be better than CD's version as it will run like other Fantasy leagues(I hope). It all started at robotics banquet touring Medtronics facility and then joking with some others about seeing a worker adjusting their lineup, then that went into having a Fantasy Robotics, which lead me(the main and only programmer currently then on the team) to want to program that, then this summer learned two/three new languages (not all for the FR but some yes) and am currently programming the site. This first year I will just have our team test it out along with some of my friends that are interested that aren't even in FIRST , fix stuff from what they think and open it to the FIRST community the next. I know you will have to wait but I want it to be in good working order.

so if that doesn't explain my overdosing on FIRST I don't know what will.

...when you look at a trackball enough times and think...i want to make my prom dress out of a trackball and dont care about the tread marks on it, because it gives it more "love":D

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

Hey, if it's good enough, maybe Brandon won't have to work as much--integrate the signup (the only thing currently working, apparently) from CD with your program, link it somewhere or something like that (or get it here), and boom! Fantasy FIRST, better than ever.

Just make sure to link it when it's ready...

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

Trust me, once I get it working and am satisfied with it I will release it to the FIRST community for all to use cause wouldn't want to participate.
