Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
.... when your 18th birthday cake was the FIRST logo because you just couldn't wait for your last season.
.... when your senior year was NOT your last season of FIRST.

There will not be another build season during my lifetime when I am not somehow involved with FIRST. I mean that.

Thanks. Yeah, I mean, I didn't want to get away from FIRST but I thought it would happen. I was wrong. FIRST is like learning to speak. Once you start, you never shut up!

...you schedule your spring semester college classes around your team's build schedule. No lie, I made sure that my classes allowed me to get out to the high school about half-hour after the meeting starts.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
you know you and your family are addicted to first when your mom goes onto the robot site you made for your team and sees this comic: http://xkcd.com/689/
and she laughs histerically then contimplates said idea...
i have an awesome mommy

you know youre addicted to first when you go to a drama tournament and a member on your debate team shows you where their robot build room is (he happened to know) just to see your reaction... you react with an OH EM GEE ROBOT MOMENT for 2 whole days because thats how long that tournament was
hahahaha it still amuses me

When you leave the shop, sit through a 30 min car ride to get home, play xbox for an hour, then realize your safety glasses are still on the back of your head.

Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
... when on a completely unrelated site you are reading the forums and you notice a guy say he had joined robotics and you bombard him with questions regarding his team and everything FIRST related...

... when after bombarding someone with questions you proceed to make a thread asking if anyone else is awesome enough to be in robotics... XD
