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

[purpleandplasma]

when u've spent everyday of your summer vacation working on robotics.
when your only vacation was a spur of the moment trip where you had to represent your team at an engineering convention

[gondorf]

You know you overdosed on FIRST when you still check in to the chiefdelphi forums, even though you graduated from your team 4 years ago...

yeah....

[Tassemet]

- When you go to school late on friday and leave saturday morning for competetions...
- When you join the US Navy to learn more about electronics

[Tom Ore]

when you drive 450 miles (each way) to watch the Saturday matches of an offseason event that your team isn't even competing at and it was totally worth it.

[Cyberphil]

when you know the anwser to a question on cash cab because of one of the 2011 game hints. (The question had to do with the definition of the name of a song by little eva)

[EricVanWyk]

... when you check for your safety glasses when you go to a convention.


((Happy NI Week!))

When you feel special after realizing that your house number is 217.

..When the highlight of your summer was a trip to California... With your middle school Botball team for Nationals.

..When on that trip, you decide to stay in from the beach with a kid to teach him how to program

..When on the plane trip there and back, you Happily get to explain to some of the students how a plane flies, complete with diagrams that were prepared weeks in advance......

I can see it now, the students taking team pictures in front of strangers house that the address matches there team number. It's the new planking.

You have a prototype chassis in your bed room.

When normal people put their graduate tassel hanging from their mirror in the car, when yours is your alliance captain band and your operator button pined onto your Regional winning medal

When someone described what you do! Even though the medal is silver, and the button is a Coach button, and it's hanging in my room.

You go to youtube to watch videos of last year's championship finals.

This totally happened to my team at our regional! The head ref. came to our pit at the end of the day just to make fun of us for it. Now we have a joke where when we see the kid who was our human player we all yell "BLUUUUE!!"
