When you see from a list that someone at your school is named Andy Marks, and you interrupt your physics class to point this out to a member of your team.

When you write about FIRST in as many homework assignments as possible. I have written three English essays this year about FIRST.

Haha! I went so far as to actually design a loft for my dorm out of 80-20... nice idea with the sliders though.

.... when a friend of your cousin asks why you have blue hair and you have an entire conversation about robotics and his parents doing programming for missionaries. while your cousins just sit there and stare (at midnight, of course! LOL)
.... you try to make up another excuse for having your hair dyed blue.... but everyone already knows it's because of robotics

[JYang]

you have a 3 pg. essay paper due in 4 hrs, that you didn't start till 2 hrs ago because of a regional tournament...
and yet you're still on CD

[basicxman]

you know you're overdosed on FIRST when your firefox speeddial has vex forum, chief delphi, ftc lab, and usfirst site on it

when first is the reason you got into the college you did, but instead of working on a project worth 25% of your grade due during build season, yet you spend countless all nighters working on the robot and NOT your project.

[Storcky]

...you spend your entire teacher's aid period looking for an MSDS for the MK ES17-12 battery instead of studying for a physics test. (BTW does anyone know where I can get one? I'm getting kind of desperate.)

- you hear someone say the word "center" and your mind immediatley goes to center of gravity.
-you are in constant communication with members of your team and/or mentors.
-chief delphi becomes more important to you than facebook.

-When you get baptized in your team shirt!

[yes I did this, although my girl friend wasn't pleased ]

I've got two...

...when, after Atlanta is over, you and the rest of your team go into "robot withdrawl" from lack of competitions to attend, watch, and talk about.

...even though you're supposed to be writing a term paper for US History, you're still browsing the forums on CD and getting hyped up for your next competition... a little less than a month away.

ooo ooo I got one like that. When you're supposed to be making 50 notecards for Research & Comp but instead are reading CD because you are hyped up over regionals you WON'T get to go to.

Material Safety Data Sheets are generally for chemical products only.
