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

[synth3tk]

...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.

Why would it be? This is my second college-mentor year.

My family wishes I would shut-up already.

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.

You began to swear compulsively at any mention of 'design changes'

[sami9145]

... 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

When your sitting in a philosophy class in college and an idea pops up in your head for a design because of how your teacher taught you to be more philosophical.

Or, when your working at apple and yet every new device comes out, you want to implement into your every day tasks in the build room or scouting at competitions.

When you plan on being Dean Kamen for halloween, and need to get some friends for Woodie and Dave.

[Phoenix Spud]

You have 3 generations in your family involved in FIRST.

When you have to annotate an magazine article and class in you convince your group to do the one that has BAE systems mentioned it in. I think they were getting a huge tube bender for aircraft carriers or something like that.

When you spend more time at FRC than your house

[FIRSTgirl675]

...when you have been working in the shop and then head over to another high school (that doesn't have robotics team) and realize that they've been giving you funny looks because you still have your safety glasses on.

When you think about posts for this thread in you spare time/when you can't sleep!!!
