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

when all of these you know off the top of your head:

the slow loop runs at 26.2ms.
the baud rate of the program port is 115200
there's 1024 bytes of EEPROM, addressed 0 to 1023

When in church you see the big chalice and wonder if someone made it on the lathe.

When the hymn you're singing has "Jesus, our victor" and your mind drifts off to a strange cartoon of a Victor speed controller with a yellow circle behind it (in most pictures with Jesus in them, there's a yellow circle behind his head).

When 3 of the bookmarks on your toolbar have something to do with FIRST.

When you honestly feel more at home in the shop than in your own bedroom.

When you get on your computer to do lit homework and fire up MPLAB, IFI loader, TeraTerm, and Windows Explorer in your "07Code" folder before you realize that's not why you're on your computer.

You see a picture of a worm gear in a physics book and tell your friend (for the 20th time) how your robot has a tendency to break teeth off the gear inside its transmissions.

When said friend tells you to shut up.

When said friend tells you to shut up, and when you don't, he says exactly what you were about to say.
