...you see a tomato truck driving down Interstate 5 that has the number 330 on the back of a bin, and point it out to your spouse.

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

When you are walking down the street to drop your brother at the babysitters before going to your bus stop and you realize the house across the street is your FRC team # (I havent looked for FTC yet lol)

when you are sad that youll never look at your phone and see your team # because either you are asleep by then (23:33) or the time just doesnt exist (36:79)

when you read this and all you can think is "i remember the time that happened to me..."

hahahahaha were all addicts!!! we need FIRST ADDICTS ANONAMOUS!!!!!! (sp?)

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

When you keep seeing all of your Wisconsin friends make mean-spirited comments about 'Da Bears on Facebook, think they're being rather rude to a great robotics team, then realize that they were referring to the football team.

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

When you're at an event and looking at the year long schedule and thinking "those three dates will conflict with build season" and then you hear the folks behind you discussing the same issue!

OK, so it was an event about teaching students engineering but still!

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

...you go to your BME professor for academic advising, she asks you why you went into engineering, and you promptly launch into an enthusiastic twenty-minute explanation of FIRST and robotics.

...you're at college, and when meeting new people, you ask if they were on a team in high school before you ask their names.

...your first paper at college deals with FIRST robotics in a completely serious and professional way.

...you haven't entirely figured out your weekly class schedule but already know the meeting times and places for the college robotics team (not quite FIRST related).

...everything reminds you of FIRST robotics in the college robotics team, of course...

When you're playing an RPG and you're upset when your XP is just under or over your team number

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

When you're playing an RPG and your damage always seems to be 1306 per hit
When you feel guilty for not wearing your safety glasses at all times
When you cringe whenever you hear the words "chains" or "dumper"
