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

[dbell]

-When you spend 41 hours in a week working on your robot, and it isn't even build season!
-when someone asks you the temperature and you say Beatty (team Hammond) inside, and Hyper outside. And they understand you!
-when there are frc tools in your foyer, (the robot is gone now ), ringers and keepers on your couch, bumpers on a chair, aluminum crumbs in your basement, a caliper on your desk, and soon to be a robot in your car.

you burn your lunch because you are too busy watching the Monty Madness webcast

[StephLee]

You stay up late plaing the Aim High online game. (422, you guys are my heros for that!!!)

[Graham Donaldson]

...when you are working on the robot in the offseason and one of your teammates randomly breaks out into a FIRST version of "A Partridge in a Pear Tree." (true story).

Don't leave us hanging! What are the words?

You know you're overdosed on FIRST when you actually want to know the words to a FIRST version of "A Partridge in a Pear Tree."

That you most definitely are. I'll PM my friend who did it and get her to send me the words (we never wrote them down and it was a good while ago.) I'll get them on here as soon as I can.

And here's another one:

...you're sitting in your W.H. class and when everyone else is playing games on their laptops you're on CD browsing the forums.

when your so bored with scoring in the center goal, you start chasing teachers and other students down the halls while launching poof balls at them.
when you join the F.I.R.S.T. group on MySpace just so you can keep in touch with people from other teams after you get out of high school.

When, you can drink 5 MDX'es and a Rockstar and not be hyper.
As a matter of fact, when you need 5 MDX'es and a rockstar just to get you moveing!

When your Redbook subscription has been replaced by Robot magazine. Yes Jane ...its true

[anna~marie]

you go to check your email and the only new ones are from CD

Yes, well, it gets worse.

You give in to going to the mall to shop for clothes for yourself but only if you can stop at Home Depot and look at the chop saws on sale. However, before you get to the chop saws you notice all the really cool drills. You never get to the mall.

The first thing you notice about your friends' driveway is the FIRST logo they started in chalk.

You have friends who spend most of their time writing the FIRST logo on their driveway.

Opening up any school notebook, you find at least a dozen sketches of the FIRST logo you drew when the teacher was going off topic and you didn't need to take notes.

You start having withdrawal symptoms when you don't see your FIRST friends (151, it's been AGES!!!)

You plan your social life around FIRST offseasons (Can't have my birthday party the same weekend as IRI in case by some miracle I can make it down there!)

[CityRiot228]

This is me :

-When you research to find out what robotics team you could join when you move out to college.
-When you line your walls, ceiling, and doors (not just in your room) with all the stuff you have collected throughout your years in FIRST.

[anna~marie]

When you find yourself in this situation:
New team member (a friend of yours that was finally convinced to join) is trying to convince two other friends to join next year and another friend, a nonFIRSTer, complains that she isn't going to have any friends left who aren't in robotics (which is quite literally the truth)

[StephLee]

When you sleep with a POOF ball and a team hat because you miss the season so much.
When you plan your summer around LEGO camps.
