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

You see the Hunger Games, and when you hear "The Game Design Committee", you think of FIRST.

FIRST is our Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in your favor.

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

When one of my several FIRST related dreams is of me getting to drive 254's robot, then the first thing I realize upon waking up is that the robot was not at all like what it actually is.

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

- When you think of the people on your team as your second family.

- When you spend more time at school than at home.

- Your on CD during the middle of Graphic Design while trying to do a comic strip.

- When said comic strip involves robots.

- When your favorite and/or most dreaded time of the year is kick-off.

- When "Call Me Maybe" comes on and you sing "Pick Me Maybe" instead.

When the answer to a physics question is 3,528 and you tell your teacher UpNext Newtons, and he knows what you mean because he's your mentor!!!

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

...when you're up until 2 in morning the day before your regional finishing the CAD work and BOM for your robot. and you have to leave at 4 for said regional.

and for me personally:

You know you've overdosed on CAD when: you single-handedly did all the CAD/BOM work for your robot (no regrets about that, but it took forever) and you still want to make a motion study video of your robot assembling itself.

When you saw the video for PSY's new song Gentleman, and your first thought was: I'm going to have to learn this dance before Championships.

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

you wake up and look at the countdown to Champs on your phone.

or
your college digital photography professor makes you bring in all of your shirts and spirit items for a photo shoot, and you get so into it you lose your voice.

or

you ask your team whether it would be "socially" acceptable if you date someone on a rival FRC team. ( I <3 My 1523 lover)

To correct my last post, The last item is an inside joke between me and one of the guys on the team mentioned. Sorry to those that may have been offended by my post, no "fouls" intended.
