You know you've overdosed on FIRST (or rocketry) when you own the same shirt as Dave.

When you watch 6 fields of atlanta at once

When you need to buy a new remote, because you left yours in Hartford.

When you have a pile of random zipties in the middle of your bedroom floor, which no one in your house sees as unusual.

When your family purchases a basketball hoop, and you want to replace the acryllic backboard with Lexan.

When you try to convince them that it would be easier to just CAD and build our own hoop.

When assembling said hoop, you encounter difficulties, because most of your tools are in your school's shop from late nights, when the team needed an extra socket wrench.

When you still have, fully assembled, all 6 FLL robots you helped build in your house.
