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

- One of your assistant principles sees any team member and starts chanting 329
- You call your advisor daddy
- While calling the team president you wake him up, he was dreaming that he was scouting for fun.
- You can't go a day with out talking about robotics.
- You believe that blood doesn't run through you veins, but mountain dew does.

so while in georgia i made a sport out of going the opposite way up/down the massive escalators. it is amazingly fun, and good exercise. especially on the sets where there are two escalators going in the same direction so you can race teammates. haha

...your excuse for not giving blood at a blood drive at school is that you bled enough on the robot and pit floor after catching your finger in a chain/sprocket. yay stiches...

You could use robot parts symbols for regular FRC Sudoku, and special Lunacy items for Lunacy Sudoku. If you did it in color, you could use 3 moon rocks, and would only require 6 more items.

Then you could start a Lunacy Sudoku thread under the Games/Trivia subforum. I might even play!

The added "benefit" of starting such a forum is that you would prove you're totally overdosed on FIRST... as if anyone has a doubt!

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

...you're driving on the highway and a team name pops into your head every time you see a mile marker (ex.:47=Chief Delphi, 33=Killer Bees.....)

it gets to the extreme when...
....every time you see ANY NUMBER that corresponding team name jumps immediately into your head!

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

Today while in the hall talking to a fellow robotics member, one of our friends tried to throw a frisbee at whom i was talking to...

Instead it hit my eye... anyone wanna guess the first thought that went through my head?

...If only I was wearing my safety glasses...

_________

A friend of mine caught herself saying "That's not gracious professionalism" to someone who isn't a robotics member... They gave her a funny look.

You suddenly realize that deciding to build at the school means that you can post build season quote when they happen. You don't have to wait...and remember them until you get home...
