When the only way that you remember the room number to your chemistry class is because it is the team number of the team that picked yours at a regional

When you fall down the stairs and hurt your knee two days before a regional but insist you are fine so that you still make it...dedication.

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

Your team has only been in existence for two years and you are now constantly daydreaming about winning the Peachtree Regional.

Every time a debate comes up during the build, your answer to every thing is "Well lets see what CD says!", and everyone tells you that what peole say on CD doesn't matter and then you envision mulitple ways to destroy that person with an army of robots!

When talking to Woodie, you hear a team chanting at 8 am and tell him "that's why CVS is out of energy drinks" (sarcastically)

You're studying about World War 1 in AP Euro and when the teacher mentiones Alliances you automatically go into a "Blue A-lli-ance" chant (more or less) under your breath
