Go to Post But no matter how you place, the thing to watch for is the character change in the team members. The trophies are only important for a few hours. The character that is built will last a lifetime. - BrothersKeepers [more]

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

You can't stand to watch your team play because you have so much invested in it, it becomes unbearable to to even think of watching your team lose even A match.

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

You graduate High School, go onto a very tough engineering school, and neglect do your homework, watch the webcast for your home regional all of saturday and sunday from 800 miles away, then break your glasses, wake up your roomate by yelling so loudly and almost cry when your team wins the Chairman's Award, and then start looking for flights back to New Jersey.

I'm in love with FIRST. There's no other explanation.

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

The program has to be changed in about ten different places for every revision of the mechanical parts, and you consider it a halfway decent challenge juggling school, FIRST, driver's ed, track, eating and sleep (in order of importance ).

You flipped school and FIRST. You come home after build and you try to fit as much school work in as you can before you sink into utter incoherence

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

When you have this conversation:

"Yeah, I guess my family gets a little too sweeped up in March Madness"

"Me too! I don't know which regional to watch first! I hope Blue Alliance gets all the footage for the matches I miss."

"..."

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

its 4 in the morning, your friend is asleep, so instead of going to bed, you check and see how week 3 regionals go, and look at chief delphi, then work on that paper you need to finish a rough draft on by tomorrow.

When you and your friend start designing a t-shirt that says "FIRST...Our March Madness is better." or something similar.
