You know you're addicted to FIRST when...

[Cole2999]

... you start looking at colleges based on robotics clubs.
... you know you're gonna miss the competitions and building.
... after working on your robot, you go home and think about working on your robot.
... you suddenly have 500 extra points on your Subway rewards card.
... Subway freezes your rewards card after a "mysterious string of 8 purchases" (even though each purchase only added points...)
... you envy the sleeping.
... after a 43-hour day filled with 480+ miles (10+ hours) of driving solo, 4 hours of programming, all-night laser tag, and then 11 hours of driving a bot, you'd still rather be competing than sleeping.
... you register on a forum just to post what you love about FIRST
