Your mother thinks there's an intruder (who somehow has a key...) because you're home and it's still light outside.

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

-At competition you scream and clap so much, you're hands start to bleed
-The day after comp, you can barely keep your eyes open in class
-Team cheers stick in your head days after comp
-Everytime you hear the word 'potato", you think of team 3562 LiveWire throwing potatoes into the audience (Inland Empire regional)

You scout for 8 hours straight and learn the proper way to sit so you don't get scoliosis.

*ducks reflexively*

I was a ref, and due to my location (Red, queuing side) I was on the "auto line patrol". If those guys were in Red 3, I dropped when they were announced, just so I didn't take a spud to the face.

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

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when...
- There is a small amount of blood in your Mountain Dew stream
- You sleep walk around the house at three in the morning saying "We're supposed to be in the que guys"
- You spend hours upon hours looking at reveal videos
- You're a freshman and you can name all of the teams past robots and what challenge/year they were from
- You spend your free time thinking of possible robot designs/drive bases for future years

You wake up dazed and confused, believing that it's still build season and mistake the wall as one of your mentors.
