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

[H4X@174]

-when you resolve fights in school by saying "hey, let's all be graciously professional about this"

AND OF COURSE...

-when you agree to work with the kid sitting next to you in class by saying "I graciously accept"

When you can quote most of/all of the Kickoff speech.

...you get home from working on the robot all day and you find tools in your pockets.
...you still have the tools you found in your pockets in a pile at home waiting to go back to the workshop.
...you sleep over at your robotics coaches' house from Friday to Sunday.
...when the workshop is on one half of the basement of the coaches' house and they have to expand to the other side of the basement to make more room for the team to work.

When inside jokes from way before your time have been told so often that they're somehow funny to you.

When you have to delete your chiefdelphi account in order to pass your classes.

[lilac]

When you see a remote control in your tv room, and imagine your tv turning left, right, straight...


When you start acting like a robot and your non FIRSTies friends think you are stoned.

[Techno-Turkey]

When you say to your teammate "hand me that thing next to the other thing" and they know what your talking about.

Agreed!

...you are so Overdriven you want to hurdle.
...your head starts spinning. Unfortunatly for you, your head spun clockwise so you must take a penalty.
...you rather design doorways to fit Trackballs rather than robots.
...to make your robot look like it goes faster, you've got design space for a black tube. (spoiler)
...the first rule for freshman became "Do not touch the Trackball while inflated - expecially when it looks seductivly bouncy."
...its day 3 and you've already lost 20 hours of sleep.
...you think FIRST should give you bonuses for how fast you can tune up your robot in the Pit.
...NASCAR became a thinking sport.

[Storcky]

...when given a personality test the response to every question is "During robotics season or the rest of the time?"
...when hosting a rookie team for kickoff, you (and the rest of your team) tells them "you must visit CD or else..."

EDIT: What am I talking about? Robotics season never ends!

[Dolan]

...when right now your on this site during school with your teacher looking at you.

[MissInformation]

...you're scanning the freecycle list and you do a double take because for a second you read a post giving away a Terra Cotta Andy Baker...

(the double take revealed it to be an apple baker)

[Karibou]

...When, even though it's your first year on the team, you know all of the rules and regulation from the past two year's game's, having read all of the related articles on Wikipedia, CD, your team website, and the FIRST website
