When you own 7 pairs of safety glasses, and think it's relatively normal
When you find out you can get airfare to nationals you are so excited you jump around, and remain excited for the next couple of days.

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

A professor suggests that you can "build robots" to remember stuff and get better grades. .... Yes, it was actually suggested today to me, and I'm taking her up on it.

When you reach into the inside pocket in your wallet to pull out a picture of your kids to show someone and instead the photo of the team in 2003 at the Maryland State Fair falls out.

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

-When your sweatshirt that you wore during build season still has aluminum falling out of the pockets periodically.

-When you can say "thing-a-ma-doodad" to a teammate and they know to get you the 7/16ths wrench-et. (It's not a ratchet, it's not a wrench, it's a wrench-et!)

-When you've wondered what you could convert to Mecanum drive. (Parallel parking would be a cinch)

-When you almost burst into tears for making it to the Semifinal rounds.

-When you get upset at announcers pronouncing your bot's name wrong. (IT'S GLORIA MA-KEY-NA, not GLORIA MA-KEN-AH, ffs)

-When you enjoy looking at CAD Models of the KOP Parts.. mmm... 56mm 12:1 planetary gearboxes. Delicious.

-When you start seeing Quixilver's wheels in your sleep. (Delicious lightning bolt pattern... mmmm)

-Even your mom can explain what FIRST is about and give tech specs on your robot.

-When you like scouts because it lets you talk about the robot you so lovingly worked on for six weeks

-When you're disappointed that build season is over and the only thing you can fill the time with is sleep. (as opposed to more robotics)

-When you know the exact number of safety glasses you have and where they are (3, two on my desk, one on the floor approximately 3in away from the foot of my bed)
