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

When you hear about the Killer Bees' new rule of 'no air showering in the shop' via their Facebook page, and two days later see it mentioned again in the 'Quotes' page on CD.....

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

when you can't wait for school to be over for the day so you can go build

when you wear your robotics team warmup jacket to school (and it's considered completely normal for you)

when you find fuses in your pocket and smile

when you're planning during class, start talking to yourself about it, and people just smile and shake their heads

when your significant other is jealous that you spend so much time involved with robotics

when you hate snow days because that's another day of the build season lost

when you're more stressed about there only being a week left in the build season than you are about anything remotely related to school

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

When you go into school early to work on the robot, and then school gets closed because of a snow day, and you smuggle the robot out of the school and work all day anyways at a students garage.

(I was not involved in this endeavor - we have some awesome students!)

When you post something your team wrote on a whiteboard in the quotes thread, then see it show up in spotlight and a forum signature.

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

when you're planning to sneak back into the workspace after the head mentor closes it for the night....and when you realize other people would do it too

when you spend your evenings after robotics messaging team members about robotics while writing code

when all the people you work with know exactly which team member you're talking about, even though you never mentioned their names

The only reason you are KINDOF ok with no robotics, is the hope Will I Am will be wearing his hat...
