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

When you are super excited to learn the mathematical explanation of the right hand rule in math after seeing it in a 3D vector explanation for mecanum wheels over the summer.

When you're highly anticipating all the ways AP Physics will help during build season.

When you make your ringtone Sandstorm because it reminds you of competition.

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

When you turn on your computer and check chief delphi before facebook. And then after checking facebook, checking chief delphi again.

When you try to explain IRI to your non-robotics friends, and they just don't get it.

When you somehow you incorporate your robot into a french project.

When it is 12:30, and you're still on chief delphi, and don't understand why others think this is odd.

When your homepage on your phone, your profile picture on facebook, and your cover photo on facebook are all robotics related.

When being at home on a weekday evening seems strange.

When you reply to this thread.

When instead of doing homework you are procrastinating by learning the basics of Java Programming.

When every ten minutes you find something that is related to robotics.

When you argue with your fiend that robots can get a total of 6 points(autonomous 3 pointer) in a single shot compared to 3 if a human shoots it.

When you lose your championships bracelet and you are looking for it at 11:00.

When your brother gives you a nickname of Delphi.

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

... Your team number is the answer to everything.

Backstory: During build and competition seasons, I hadn't been able to attend Girl Scout meetings, but there was a meeting the Tuesday after Champs. We were working with another troop, and one of their leaders asked me what our troop number was. What did I respond? 3574, of course! (Which wasn't the right answer...)

When you manage to incorporate the phrase "reasonably astute observer" into a Shakespeare essay.
