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

[Jeremiah Johnson]

You dream of the day you become a play-by-play announcer.

You search the entire Quad Cities looking for cold cathodes to pimp out your new lexan scouting clipboards and your newly completed Vex robot.

[whlspacedude]

you can only choose a university with a robotics team

[zakk]

when you spend an hour explaining how much more complex FIRST is than battlebots after someone says "so, you do Battlebots?

I do that all the time!! MC is what I want to do =)

Also when you plan regional hopping for 2008 and years after that with a friend and how you will become tag-team MCs [HI ZARA!!!] =]

[edboy]

You can feel and allen wrench and know what size it is

When you can look at an allen socket and know what size wrench you need

[Otaku]

-When you know what size every single bolt, screw, nut, and rivet on your robot is. (Extra points for knowing where they are!)

[Libby K]

When you regional-hop to two in one weekend and, on Monday in school, you have to explain to ALL your friends all the things that happened there. By around halfway through lunch, your mouth is taped shut.

When you go to one regional and come back with 5 shirts and a hat.
[One day, I'll get a good count of how many FIRST or team shirts I actually own.]

When you actually DREAM that you're an MC. [Yes, this happened. I blame Wayne for putting the idea in my head.]

I never think about eating cheesy poofs (not because they don't exist, but because I don't like their real life counterparts -- cheetos).

But that's a good one, regardless.

When you're trying to talk to your family about the regional you were at, and some how the Cheesy Poofs come in to the conversation (I think I was talking about the Chairman's Award? I don't know how they got in to the conversation about UTC) and you have to pull up their website to prove to your mother that a team is actually named "Cheesy Poofs".

When your boss asks you to make a presentation about FIRST and your team to his bosses.

Im looking forward to it

[RoyalRobo1070]

When you see someone waving their arm and you think about the refs telling you to move your bot off the field

When you hear someone say "check-in" and you're up and ready to bring your robot in to get your flag

When you hear "Atlanta" and you think to yourself "God I wish I was going to nationals."
