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

-you are wondering how long has your team coach been overdosing on FIRST
-when you realize that right after an important interview for collage scholarships you immediately started worrying about your robot
-when you once again find yourself adding to this thread instead of doing research for an assignment in the middle of class
-you check this thread everyday to see if there is anything new and funny to read

When after a competition you hear random teams cheering while going to sleep

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

...When you're bored in class and the teacher/another student gives you a weird look for doing your team/another teams competition chant totally absent mindedly. (M-O-R-T MORT! MORT! MORT!, 16! 76!!!, seventy! five!!!, Go MOE!, what time is it? Knight time!, tick-tick whoosh!, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.)(All MAR chants by the way)
...When you can't stop thinking about cool designs and mechanisms you've seen.
...when you can't stop thinking about about how much you can't wait for next competition,
...When you can't stop thinking about your past competitions and how fun they were and how things could have gone differently...
...When you can't stop thinking about cool new strategies and who you should pick first at your next competition(I'm strategy/scouting lol)
...When you look at the clock, see a team number, and say (team name) time !
...when you see team numbers everywhere, let alone the clock!
...When you stay up until 1 am looking through this thread!

...when you go to a museum with tanks and think to yourself "Hey, I can design and build a robot with the same drive as this tank when I get home"

You know you're addicted to FIRST when you text your mentors more than your friends from school.
