Go to Post Overall, I thought FIRST did a great job with the rules this year - very simple and very clear for the most part. However, something is always going to fall through the cracks (and I don't mean that in a bad way - people need to know that it's practically impossible to do something perfectly). - Chris Hibner [more]

you check ChiefDelphi every other hour and stay on it until your parents yell at you, at which point you do it secretly.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when..
-instead of taking notes in lecture you end up with 5 pages of FIRST and
team logos
-the best part of your week was when they announced the Atlanta divisions
-you check Chief Delphi at least once an hour
-every conversation leads to robotics
-When you have a firefox window just for robotics websites open 24/7
-when you are late to class because you had to Reply to a Thread in Chief
Delphi (already 10 mins late) @_@

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

I don't know if this was mentioned but...

...you're upset that you can't arrange your college schedule to volunteer all three days at a FIRST Regional competition.

This was me this semester.

When you use your spring break to volunteer or mentor all FOUR days (Wed. setup, Thurs.-Sat. mentor, Sat. takedown). (I can't make it to either of the closest regionals to college--but L.A. was during spring break.)

--When you're on a school trip and you're doing FF scoring every spare minute you have battery power on your laptop.

--When you think you've identified all the FIRSTers and former/would-be FIRSTers on campus.

When you are sitting here on cheifdelphi instead of using the school computer for "work-related" use

When you are up till 4 in the morning making team badges to give out to other teams

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

When you lie to your track coach about why you're not coming to practice tomorrow because you want to go to ONE robotics meeting in four weeks, and whenever you tell him the truth he lays a guilt trip on you, making you feel guilty for going to robotics (which I shouldn't cause I'm not needed at track as much as Robotics).

When you spend twice as much time on Robotics and getting ideas for next year written and typed to show tomorrow to the team than your homework.

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

When you have a university exam tommorow worth 40%, which you haven't been to a single lecture, and haven't started studying... but your still on chiefdelphi =S

You take a nap and dream about the results of the FTC world competition (just happened)

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

...When you know that you're going to spend every minute off of (and even possibly during) school watching Atlanta

...When you have dreams about your robot breaking down.

...When you go to other sporting events and start critizsizing how lame it is compared to a regional.

...When your security blanket is your safety glasses.

...When You start looking for welds in everyday places. (but that might just be a welder thing...)

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

First thing you do in the morning is check for new post on CD and no matter how late at night or how tired you are you just have to recheck CD before going to bed.

You wake up at night and just have to check for new post!

Robotics is WAY more important and/or fun than Track (and I'm team captain of my school's track team...)
