When after queueing at an offseason event you realize the following: you worked with a well appreciated name on Chief (THANKS AGAIN ED!), your legs fall out from under you, and you want to do it all over again.

When you ask for a LEGO Mindstorm NXT 2.0 kit for your 17th birthday so you can build mini-robots with your friends over the summer...

(My parents looked at me like I was crazy because a "normal" teenage girl would have asked for a car or something of the sort. haha)

When you throw a birthday party for your dad, (a mentor), and you're both wearing team shirts, and then another mentor shows up, also wearing a team shirt.

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

When you spend more time on robotics than on work & school combined.

When you take time off work to fly out to St. Louis to work Scholarship Row for your college.

When you spend an entire day at work coming up with a new business plan for your robotics team.

When you create a separate resume specifically for FIRST because it won't all fit on your work resume.

When you go to college and start mentoring not one, not two, but THREE FRC teams.

When the only graduation parties you have time to go to are for the FIRST kids you mentor, all others receive a "Sorry, I have another grad party I HAVE to be at that day" message.

When you leave work early to go talk to your college's faculty members about the FIRST Ambassadors program at your school.

When your friends ask for a ride and have to move robotics buttons and pamphlets off the seats before getting in your car.

When you are debating whether or not it is worth it to skip a college class to go to IRI this summer or not.

When you set your last day of work for the term so that you can attend MARC without worrying about missing work.

When you have more FIRST contacts than any other contacts in your phone.

When your parents come to your teams' fundraisers and competitions even though you are now mentoring teams rather than competing.

When you go to the world championship to work scholarship row as a college recruiter and your parents tell you they missed going and want to go with you next year even though you personally aren't competing anymore.

When you have successfully addicted your family to FIRST too and they no longer ask you to come home on weekends from November - April because they know you are going to be at robotics (FLL & FRC).

When you start jumping up and down yelling "YESS" over and over when you learn your roommate in college was on a FIRST robotics team

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

Everytime you see an address or a time on a clock you try and think of what robotics team it is.

P.S. I saw 191 as an address today, the street across from mine has 461 as an address, and i just happen to look at the clock when it's 11:14 at least once, if not twice, every day
