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

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

That match was probably one of the most amazing displays of agile mobility I have seen in a FIRST competition. We were all convinced that 1261 had
been hiding their talents up to that point, and finally decided to really show their capabilities. And when they did, was it ever impressive!

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

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".

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

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."
