You cleaned your room and found; a spike, 2 t joints for pneumatic tubing, and a 30 amp fuse.

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

~when you wake up late, realise its sat., and you have missed an hour of robotics (I love robodawgs ♥). you then proceed to bike an hour in 6 or so inches of snow to get to the last half hour of robotics
~when in your first competition, you see Wo-Bot. your first impression is "AWW!!! HES SOOOOO CUTE!"
~when you get a stomachache when you dont have pizza and coke for lunch.
~when you realise that many of the new rules come from past events from your team (ehhehe)
~when you have a bag full of sharpies, alen wrenches, 3 pairs of saftey goggles, multiple nuts, screws, ect. , and 20 of your teams buttons taking over your school bag. you decide that your textbooks really arent that important.
~when you get multiple tools for christmas and are overjoyed
~when its a snow day and your sister complains about missing a feild trip. you begin to bawl hysterically because robotics is cancelled.

When you think your team/you are the cause of so many new rules... because basically every memory you have is about FIRST. (I promise though, it really wasn't us who caused these rules.)

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

when you wake up at all hours of the night with new ideas for robot designs, right them down, then cant sleep because they arent perfect


when you wake up in the moring and cant interpret what you put down for a robot idea last night and it bugs you all day


when you finally remember what your notes ment way after the meeting when its no longer relivent

when your school cancels all after school activities, and you immediately text your robotics teammates that our meetings cannot be canceled.

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

You leave your house to go to school and your cat looks at you funny and tries to follow you (like she always does). You tell her, "Sorry, you can't come with me. I'm going to go home now."

(Yes, I have conversations with my cats)

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

-When you find it more practical to pitch a tent in the shop and sleep there
-You and your team cry when you get a new school building, and have a shop no more
-You switch from going door to door to sell Girl Scout cookies to asking for money for robotics

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

The first thing you think of when you wake up is "What am I going to do at robot club today?", spend 15 minutes thinking about it, find yourself wide awake, look at the clock and find it is only 5:00am and you should sleep for another hour. But there is no way THATS going to happen.

Maybe the problem here is on a more fundamental level than just "overdosing on FIRST"?

SIMILAR STORY (well not really but it also involves cats):

when you can't say goodbye to your 40 inch trackball from overdrive (named Clyde) so you bring it home and leave it in your room, only to find that your cat has made it his new bed.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you don't even know what the word "sleep" means.
