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

...When you start using a PWM cable as a wristband.

When you proudly tell your non-robotics friends you've spent 87.035 hours at Robotics this season.

When you find random bits and pieces of stuff in your pockets. (So far, I've found 2 .25" bolts, a washer for one of the .25" bolts, a WAGO, some wire, a couple links of energy chain)

When you've commented on this thread multiple times...

When your job isn't to make sure people are wearing safety glasses, it's to make sure they take them off when they leave.

When you walk into church with a tape measure on your back pocket without realizing it.

You know you've overdosed on first when...
... you look at bus 540 and think it's your team number
... when you think the colors for your team are Red and white and not your schools'

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

When at 12:00 o'clock on a saturday night you spend half an hour making a video like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbpWnF-XXVk

When putting your robot in the crate is harder then braking up with your GF

When you wake up and realize you have fallen asleep with safety glasses on and now have red line running on your face that wont go away for at least 12 hours.

When... wait, what? sorry, labview flashback

When you have a dream in which you are a robot made by a team of high school students built for the purpose of building another robot.

When you wake up to find you have drawn several hundred combinations of triangles circles and squares on you sheets.

When you have a dream that your robot is having a dream about you.

When you start changing the diagrams on your labview vis so that they look like your team mates and then start moving them around on the screen like action figures while making up a complicated LOTR themed plot line for their actions. - yes this one actually happened.

P.S. I just lost the game.

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

When you get home at 3, go on CD, and not start your homework till 12.

When you try to make a joke, but everyone stares at you stupidly cause they're not your robotics friends.

When you spend all night designing robotics team shirts, just for everyone to not pick one cause they all look too good.

When CD and us FIRST are your top most visited sites.

when you post on CD at 1:02 in the morning.

When you watch this video BEFORE checking to see how your son is doing. (Not that he minds at all--he's probably already seen it!)
