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

[Bsteckler]

When you make a keychain out of a peice of 80/20 (no joke).

[Mike Schreiber]

When you get sick at the end of build season (every year) for obvious reasons

[Vikesrock]

When you are on a non-FIRST related 12 hour bus ride and half the road signs make you think about what FRC teams in those cities (Schaumberg, IL, Hammond, IN etc. etc.) are doing right now.

[Karibou]

...you no longer care that your hands are perpetually silvery from making parts non-stop, or perpetually greasy from attempting to make chains that are the right size.

[Dolan]

when you wish the robot was alive so you could kill it

[EricH]

...A conference room at your college is the J.V.N. Dorr Room, and you immediately think of team 229. (And most people call it the Dorr Room.)

[GaryVoshol]

You wake up from a dream where all you green dots on CD have turned to red ...

[horoponhorr]

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when FIRST has caused almost as much emotional suffering as it has joy.

You know you have overdosed when...

----you are sad when there is a snow (or cold) day and you don't have school. (meaning not being able to work on the robot).

For the cold day- last week Wednesday we didn't have school because the wind chill was -35, and the night before we couldn't work on the robot because the school canceled all afterschool activities.

[joycecutliff]

-35 wha?

[alex1699]

when you can relate and act smart in class talking like you no how to put something together ...... hah true story

[Urban Hawk]

When you made a battery charger out of a cim motor because you hadnothing better to do... (like we did)

Our school never closes. We have had school when the wind chill was -55. MORE TIME FOR ROBOTS!
