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

...you do FLL, FTC, and FRC in the same year.
...(for WindRiver users) you are writing a report for English and you're confused as to why pressing Ctrl-B-B doesn't do anything.
...a Jaguar is a small black box that controls motors, and anyone who thinks it's a big cat is wrong.
...(for former FLL people) you can draw out the field, by memory, of FLL games from several years ago.
...you wear your safety glasses more than your normal glasses.
...you hear a foghorn and sigh in agony of a re-do (unless you were losing the match).
...you cheer "Red Alliance!" at normal people sports games.
...you hear three bells and want to walk up to the driver's station.
...you're looking for something in your house, and you want to go to Pit Admin and make an announcement for it.
... you really want a pneumatic programming wrench.

when u read that statement and think: "Of course I cheer 'red alliance' at normal people sport games, It's the only kind of game I attend". Then you realize the speaker didn't mean FIRST team members when they said normal people.

They're also wrong if they think it's a car.

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

... when you're crying because you just found out FIRST's and BPA's nationals are on the same 4 days(i found out literally right before BPA awards ceremony) and now that you took first place at states you have to go with BPA and compete in Chicago whether or not you're robotics team wins Buckeye next week and qualifies to go to St. Louis.(we lost at buckeye)

... when you plan to watch the 2012 FIRST Championships online all 4 days in Chicago because you are stuck going to a different national competition

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

... when it is your senior year and you bounce around the house happily about going to St. Louis, then you stop dead in your tracks and start to cry. You send your coach a text asking if you can be held back a year so that you can be on the team again....

...When you should be working on your senior project, which is a graduation requirement, but you're on Chief Delphi instead. (I'll work on it soon! I promise!)
