Hah! I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this.

Wait, I'm not the only one that does this... right?

When your vacuum cleaner cord wraps around the waste basket, dragging it with you, and it reminds you of 254's tether dragging a yellow tote in their second quarter final. This actually happened to me!

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

...When you see the score of 135 on family feud and instantly think of Penn Robotics.
...When you send out a tweet and tag simbotics in it. Then get excited the next day because simbotics retweeted it.
...When you can't stop thinking of how your robot should have been able to do better than it did.
...When you make a web map of all the frc games and see how they tie into each other (Still can't figure out how Lunacy fits into anything)

When you are still a high school freshman and you are already beginning to plan about how to do FIRST during your college years.

When you're a sophomore and you are already scouting colleges with FRC teams nearby.

*Ahem*

Look at Seattle... the motherload of FRC Teams in the PNW..?
UW is surrounded by FRC Teams and FTC teams alike. And is MUCH closer to WashingtonFIRST Robotics.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when, upon looking at your college's robotics website, you find a link to their old college FIRST Robotics team (At UW, it was DawgBytes) and you have a mini freakout session in the middle of class.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when the playing of YMCA, The Chicken Dance or Cotten Eyed Joe triggers PTSD (Oh God what broke now?).

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

You are on CD all day instead of paying attention in class.
To busy watching worlds to pay attention.
Working on math problems and see other team numbers as the answer and start freaking out about it.
When you realize you are addicted to CD
