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

[Karibou]

...Sandstorm plays at your senior all-night party, and you feel cool because you know all the parts to it by heart.

When you post 20+ things in one post and can still think of more

[davepowers]

You fall asleep in study hall the day after you get back from championships and all you dream about is that one match that you needed a blue tube to complete a logo, but the human players weren't paying attention, so you're having a flash back of yourself standing at the drivers station yelling, "BLUE TUBE, BLUE TUBE" in your head while your sleeping, and a buddy then wake's you up and you scream at the top of your lungs, "THROW A BLUE TUBE!!!". And everyone stares at you awkwardly except for the one kid in the room who's on the team who COMPLETELY understands.

You are going to start watching this thread like a hawk over the next few weeks hoping that someone from Wave Robotics posts on post 2826.

[Duke461]

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you dream about reading through the Chief Delphi forums. (Yes, this actually happened )

[KarenH]

You think about posting so that J93Wagner won't have to wait as long. Then you actually post!

[FRC4ME]

When people on other forums shout the word "FIRST" for emphasis, it takes you a few seconds to realize they aren't talking about robotics.

When you search for the next time kickoff will be on your birthday (2016).

-You have a t-shirt made ENTIRELY out of zip-ties
-You attempt to get your team number's amount of points on a test just to be able to see it (256/300 isn't bad!)
-When your physics teacher gives a quiz after a regional, and all questions have to do with the robots at the competition
-When an extra credit question on said quiz asks about what type of animal The Wildhats made their robot look like this year
-When said Physics teacher gives assignments during the first 6 weeks of the second semester about robots and the game video of that year
-You stare into the robotics room at school every day you don't have practice
-When you weigh yourself and realize you need to loose 3 pounds to legally compete
-When you've at least once thought of dressing up one of your teammates in aluminum foil and having them compete in the competition

You get very happy when The New Cool is on your summer reading list!!

... all 3 of your oral communications speeches are about robotics
-all about Midwest regional (personal experience speech)
-how to create a CAD drawing (how to speech)
-all about Dean Kamen (inspirational person speech)
... you think about how easy driving would be if your car had swerve drive

I ditto that.

EDIT: Also, you start up Pandora Internet Radio and you start to dance thinking you're at a competition. Then you realize that you aren't and continue dancing anyway since no one is around.

[I didn't know where else to put this.]
A few months ago I posted in the 'Quotes' page with a quote from build: 'Why do people gotta have a life outside of robotics?'

Tonight, I became friends on Facebook with a member of another Oregon team with which I went to CMP with this year. Ever eager to see another robotics person's quotes, I looked and beheld: 'Why do people gotta have a life outside of robotics?' He said he saw it on CD

You are awake until 2am working on things for your team... in July. And you have work at 8 am.

This is still the best problem ever.
