Go to Post It seems ironic to me that a robotics competition would come down to human error, which is precisely what the field of robotics attempts to prevent. - David8696 [more]

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

When after reading the 5-5-5 post
Quote:
You are waitressing and the total for their meal is $5.55 and rather that saying "five dollars and fifty five cents" you say "5-5-5".... Then they look at you in total confusion as you realize what you just did.
You go to resurant with the address 555 and wonder why you don't know that team number...

When you are taking your road test and stop partway across the stop line, but argue that you are in the clear because you did not COMPLETELY cross the line...

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

-Even though the full-blown robotics season is over, you still spazz out when you see something imagery compliant or something that reminds you of your robot
-You sign your teammate's yearbook by drawing your team's logo, then writing about all of the good jokes you had during the competition season.
-You're nailed in the shoulder while playing dodgeball in gym, and it reminds you of all of the things that fell on/hurt that shoulder during robotics (a drill bit, half of a manipulator...)
-You wish that most of your team didn't go to the other school in your district, because you wanted to see what they'd write in your yearbook
-You're wearing your team shirt in a commercial that you helped your 11 year old brother make for a class, and you hope that it spurs more interest in your team.

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

When you go to your friend/Captains graduation party and your first question is weather or not he will Mentor next year and late during the party you talk to another teammate about what the team plans are for the summer.

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

When you go to a fellow members graduation party and when you arrive there are robotics members already there and you talk with them and you don't leave cause more robotics members come and arrive and you are talking about plans for next year.

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

-You go shopping with your friend and you constantly make robotics references.

-You cry because your seniors are leaving the team, not because they are graduating.

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

- You realize that when you go to a team member's birthday party, nearly everyone there is from the team.

- When you first get onto firefox, the first website you check are Chief Delphi, Vex Forum, and/or FTC Lab.

You find your team number in the serial number of a dollar bill, and you no longer wish to spend it.

When you read something like "chief diplomat" as "Chief Delphi."

This happened to me once...
