IED? I hope you dont have a class on Improvised Explosive Devices.

I was thinking the same thing!


...when you spend personally $29.95/mo for your team's site because the funds won't cover it

...when you try to think of one tiny aspect of robotics to start a new thread on, just watch other addicts post in it!

...when you are volunteering as a scorekeeper at an FLL event and are on CD in between matches

When you're a score RUNNER at said FLL match, and dash back to steal half of your friend the scorekeeper's chair because you want to read CD, too.

When a game hint is posted, and in less than 1 week there are over 500 replies.

You know your addicted when you wake up in the middle of the night and have to go on your computer to check out a new design you were thinking of

You can't sleep the next night because you are thinking about your design despite the fact you have an Physics 201 test the next day and it is 1 AM.


True stories.....

Another I thought of...

When you try to get your normal girlfriend to try to start a club at her school.... and she almost actually does!

[Josh Fox]

... you have a countdown of the number of days till kick-off going in your head...

but you ahve to count the days until christmas (there's 16 till kickoff... 5 till christmas)

Happy holidays everybody!

when you still check CD almost 4 years after you no longer are a part of the system, to see if everything is as it was

[Techno-Turkey]

-you know your overdosed on FIRST when you read all these pages.

[lukevanoort]

When you have been #1 on the list of hosts that access the most pages of Chief Delphi in some month. (No, I'm not currently, but I have been in the past)

You can't ever be out of the system, FIRST is for life! Now the Game Hint thread is closer to 600 posts.

You know you are overdosed on robotics when you continued searching every radio shack even though any hope of a goldenhexbug was long gone, simply because you want to find any hexbug, and then carry around the tiny robot in your purse.

you know you are overdosed on robotics when you say "boyfriend, what boyfriend...oops, i was thinking about FIRST"

you know you are overdosed on robotics when you know the day you are taking the SAT because it is 21 days after kick off. studying? i don't think so.

This is how I know i've infected my friends--

My friend looks through my purse, finds safety glasses and a screwdriver, and says-- wait.....Kickoff isn't for two weeks!
