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

[Hunter Levesque]

When you're playing Super Smash Brothers and the damage counters remind you of first teams.

Posting on this thread is almost useless because of all of the replies...but I have to...Because I have overdosed on FIRST. (actually I wouldn't call it overdosing because there is no such thing as too much FIRST)

I cannot see a number without thinking of a FIRST team. I have even started to refer to numbers as the FIRST team name and not the number itself.

Aside from all this: You know you have overdosed on FIRST when you are staring at the clock when it is 11:14 and 2:17, when you get 111 as an answer on math homework and you write Wildstang, When gas prices are around MOE and Robotic Plague and you remember the days when they were Robonaut and Gaelforce, You watch the count down to the Hammond spaghetti dinner(even when you're T-Hawks miles away and have nothing to do with it).

When your whole team has papers printed off by one of our team-mates that has countdown numbers till next year's kick-off in your locker/room.

It's easier when your team number is relatively low. I don't think it's even possible to have more than 999% damage.

If you watch the Powerthirst video and think of the cRIO video shown at the Championship.

... when you're reffing a soccer game, and the team name is Killer Bees. And you remark to the other AR, who is also in FRC, "They don't look like 33. No antennae, and they're not in bright yellow."

When any number you see reminds you of something from FIRST, whether it's the price of gas, the time, the amount of time you have been on the phone, or even answer on a test. Like right now, gas is $3.65 (MOE), an answer to a physics problem was 330 (the Beach Bots), and I looked at the clock today and it was exactly 1:03.

I know what you mean, I sat in the auditorium in the chair #118.

I got the answer 1501 on a math problem today, and wrote team THRUST next to it. I'm waiting to see what my math teacher says.

I got Beach Bots today in class, I ended up writing at the bottom of my page 330 = Beach Bots!!!!! There was one other person from my team in math class as well, and when we got out we looked at each other and yelled "Beach bots!"

[BlondeNerd]

when you very nearly squeal when your team number is incorporated in an AP test question...and you proceed to circle, underline, etc. it

[Carlee10]

...when you fall asleep while you're "working" in the lab.
...when you start looking for team numbers in everyday life.
...when you have two old team shirts at home, a new one at home, and another in your locker just in case.

[christina_omg]

when someone says "we're got a match in 2 minutes" and you're ready to run

even though you're standing in your schools auditorium...

[Andrew141WOBOT]

You think while doing chores after Nationals... 'I wonder if my lawn mower uses the acronym principal like the WOBOT.'
You constantly dream on the bus to school about next year's game.
While you are driving and a slow car is in front of you, you actually think about gently bumping them so you can Hurdle.
You think of speed as feet per second instead of miles per hour.
