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

[MagiChau]

When instead of caring about the superbowl you celebrate Chinese New Years and spend all Sunday working on robotics related stuff.

Team members recognize you as always being on Chief Delphi.

Team members want you as human player for knowing the rules, not moving tubes.

...when you've worn FIRST related shirts to school every day since the start of the school year.
...when you rage that will-i-am did not wear the FIRST hat at the half time show.

[hensontam]

...you're watching the Super Bowl halftime show and when you see will.i.am, all you can think about is kickoff when he said "'s dope"

[1168Programmer]

when you're on CD during the superbowl period

[Phoenix Spud]

When you find somewhere to watch the SB so you can see if will.i.am mentions FIRST! (and cheer for your favorite football team...)

[1168Programmer]

when the reason you didn't get enough sleep last night is not because of the superbowl like everyone else, but for some reason FIRST related

[KC1AJT]

-when you get no decent sleep for weeks
-when you stay up all of superbowl sunday just to collaborate with another team on skype
-when you see snow on the ground, you imediately wish you had the resources to build a robotic plow

[rachelholladay]

when you come home and find a wago still in your back pocket
when you open your purse to see three safety glasses
when the person who has called you the most in the last four weeks in on another robotics team
when the only thing you friends discussed about the superbowl was how will.i.am didnt mention FIRST
when metal shavings come out of your hair
when you don't sleep

Really? Out of curiousity, how did they get there in the first place?

when you don't sleep

What is this sleep you talk about?

Machinery tends to make chips fly into weird places. Lathes and mills are particularly good at this, though drill presses are skilled as well. I've pulled many a metal chip out of the pocket of the hoodie I wear while using the lathe (which I wear so that I don't freeze and don't ruin ALL of my hoodies).

-when you're hands are extremely dirty from all the coolant mixed with metal shards.
-when you have many cuts on you're hand and you don't know where they came from
-when you anxiously wait through every school day to get to the robotics lab

When you don't even notice them until someone else says something, to which you shrug and say "well...robotics."

[Phoenix Spud]

You look at character count before word count in word!

[Nomadic Mentor]

When you put more thought into your CD screen name then your last major project (non first related)
When you multiple teams and still want more
You find time to mentor multiple teams (and still want to do more)
When you think grease and aluminum shaving covered hands are perfectly fine to eat with but wash thoroughly when you get anything else on them

[Zuelu562]

...You really think you understand EVERY SINGLE RULE (and trust me, I don't).

...It's posters (made of pictures) of Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers instead of your favorite band or favorite actor that are on your wall.

...You cherish the signature on your shirt from Dean or Woodie more than family treasures.

...You really think that your mentors are more important than your parents.
