Go to Post FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST. - Madison [more]

When you read TBA as The Blue Alliance instead of To Be Announced.

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

When you realize this thread is old enough to be an FLL student.

When you spend more time thinking about robotics projects for the upcoming offseason than on your college classes (and Finals are two weeks away )

When you've realized you've been a mentor of an FRC Team longer than you were in high school.

When Chief Delphi is my FIRST (/groan) refresh when I log into my school laptop.

When you are still at Champs, but already thinking about what needs to be done to the build area before kickoff next year, and already have a countdown running.

When you're sitting in gym class freaking out because you want to see how a team is doing but TBA won't load.

When you get TBA to load and screech when that team wins, scaring your friends and making your teacher fear for your sanity.

When students said you were too young to be a mentor in 1996 and getting old in 2016.

WARNING: when someone tells you they need you to mentor for just one year good luck with that it is going to be a LONG year. Like 20x longer than you might think.

-You see a group of teenagers, one with a helmet, and you ask if that one is the safety captain.
-You can still hear the game announcers when no matches are running.

When you have withdrawals and don't know what to do with your life after you just won your division and it's all over now.
