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

[GBM2013]

....when you call your favorite mentor--who's now in Canada till next Build Season--crying to her about how you can't find all the drill bits....
....when that same mentor tells you that those drill bits are in the Guidance Departments minifridge....
....when the day you come back from Regionals, you're supposed to be in religion, but you're teacher (who's also a mentor) needs her speakers from the workshop so you sprint down there, and slam into the work bench from the excitement of being around tools again...
....when you speak in code to the programmers in the off season....
....during your computer apps class you have 10 windows up, 3 involving CD, 4 involving CAD, 1 involving youtube videos of BattleCry, and the last 2 involving team scouting....
....the fact that my teachers allow me to sleep in class during build season, ask to be excused to go share a design with my teachers that are also mentors, and to use the SmartBoard during class to draw up a quick CAD design to email to everyone on the team before that days meeting....

...When your emails are almost only from FIRST related things, you team, and
your girlfriend.
...When your Girlfriend thinks you look better in jeans and t shirt with chain
grease on it, than a suit and tie.
...When you Girlfriend considers a Regional as a date!
...When you give your Girlfriend a piece of the old robot as a necklace for her
birthday, and she actually wears it because she likes it.

Am I lucky to have a Girlfriend like this? Oh god yes!

[Wren Hensgen]

When you realize that you have spent the last hour watching your 3:07 season wrap-up video over and over again.

[Mrcope9]

When you spend the last week of build season eating nothing but Doritos and Mountain Dew.

[Caleb Sykes]

When you check Blue Alliance for your team's match videos which are never there...and then you check again five minutes later hoping that they have magically appeared.

When you can't stop thinking about ways to improve the robot, even though there are no competitions left.

[gabrielau23]

When you continuously refresh the page on ESPN so that the "comments" counter will show your team number.

[Kims Robot]

...you can't stop typing "FIRST" every time you want to type "first".

[Whippet]

When you feel like it is your sacred duty to revive this thread.

[Christopher149]

• If you're not mentoring FRC, you're mentoring FLL
• You're getting excited about the 2015 control system even now
• You're on ChiefDelphi enough over summer (into fall) to quickly reply after the sacred-duty-reviver-poster

[Aaron.Graeve]

You are on Chief Delphi every day even though you are not on your team anymore.

[Nemo]

You upgrade to a smart phone and the only new capability you really care about is FRC Spyder.

[E Dawg]

You check Chief Delphi before school every day even though you know that pre-build season there probably won't be anything useful.

[brandon.cottrell]

When you watch videos of regionals that your team has never been to and never will attend.

[echin]

When you think about CAD and FIRST throughout the entire school day, and the first thing you do when you get home is design a new drive train and CAD for 3 hours.

[VexisDarksteele]

...You get unreasonably excited by the sudden realization that Kickoff is less than a month away, even if you're no longer actively with your team (AKA: a college student that's 400 miles away from your hometown/high school team).
