When you set your alarm every 3 hours during winter break so you can check what people are saying about the game hints.

When you have dreams Dean Kamen is Darth Vader and tells you he's your father, and you celebrate (actually happened to me).

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

You've done the math, and figured out that you visit ChiefDelphi on a regular basis of about once every 10 minutes (Yeah, I know that's a long wait in between visits XD )

You were looking through the thread "Most Recognizable Teams", and someone left a list of teams they can name, and you can name each and every one of them ALONG with the theme they fit too.

On your Facebook, your profile page says you're "Head over wheels for FIRST Robotics"...

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

...when your school has a lockdown due to a threat (they won't tell us what) and you manage to spend the time in the robotics room.

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

When you actually plan out an idea for your build season, before the first mentor meeting of the year.

I actually have to make a choice what team I'm working with (yes, it's sad, but with age comes decisions).

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

This recently happened to me while I was talking with an College student:
Immediately after someone said “networking is difficult”, I launched into an anecdote about setting up/troubleshooting routers and getting FMS to work.. only to find that he was talking about social networking and is now very confused.

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

When... in the past 3 days, and a few Colleges calling, you land a FIRST student on every call [besides one, but she was dating a first student]

Here is a shoutout to the Kil-A-Bites, 1024, I got a former member of yours from Ketterling just a few minutes ago^^

Even with all the things going on in Connecticut right now, you're main reason for wanting power back is so you can check ChiefDelphi...
