You ask your prom date (who is also on your team) if he will wear red converses with his tux so he'll be cool like Woodie.

He agrees to do so and then asks if he can sign your dress.

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

- When someone walks up to you after Atlanta and you hand them one of your team's buttons thinking they wanna trade.

-When you're playing with legos and you find yourself building something that can move a mini orbit ball into a cup

-When you find yourself comming up with new things to spell with your team's poster letters in your free time.

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

-When you submit your Inventor award and realize that you spelled your team name wrong on the bumpers.
-Hackysack and Frisbee have become the most interesting part of Atlanta, not the competition.
-You realize how awesome Woodie's shoes are. (Atlanta 09)
-You’re willing to drive 14+ hours in one day to go to a competition.
-sexual innuendos involving orbit balls (and any robot references) become a normal part of conversation.

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

---When you get back and have the urge to chant anything, anything at all from Atlanta. For instance:

...When I say Blue you say Cheese! Blue! Cheese! Blue! Cheese!Cheese! Blue! Cheese!

...When I say Atlanta you say Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! Atlanta! Georgia! WHOOH!!!

...When I say Hillshire you say Farm! Hillshire! Farm! Hillshire! Farm! Hillshire! Farm! GO MEAT!


(PS: Had a great time at Atlanta. Hope to see everyone again!)

When you see a tye-dye shirt and look for the WildStang logo.

This actually happened to me.

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

When you find yourself thinking up amazing team alliances in your spare time

When you open a word document and try to list every team in your state, in order

When you think back upon the year's Dean Speeches, and try to critique them

When the season is over, but you're still making revisions to the past year's robot

When you find yourself still txting the girl you met at robo prom.

When you call a girl at school a robo ho, and expect everyone else to know what that means.
