Go to Post What I would really love to see is having the teams try to solve a problem that is real scientists are trying to solve right now. Wouldn't it be cool if a team came up with a robot design that could solve one of the world's worst problems? Talk about FIRST publicity! - Beth Sweet [more]

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

When
- you look at a clock/channel and can identify it by team number (my dad did this yesterday)
- you start grouping all numbers by twos (channel nine-fifty five)
- you come up future plans for the robot durring long lectures
- when your friends are shocked you spend 24 hours at robotics in the past two days and you reply ehh beter then kettering (27 hours there )
- the back few pages of your notebook are of robot sketches
- you thought of rush when you read 27 hours at kettering
- posted this at steel armidilos (8:18)

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

When you see your team number everywhere... and it its starting to scare you.

when you accidently held up three's while cheering at a pep rally at your school.

When your just sitting on Chief Delphi hitting the refresh button so you can read the new posts / threads FIRST.

When you always capitalize FIRST.

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

You finish watching the Purdue/Texas game, and then realize that the Boilermaker Regional was probably the most exciting to happen to Purdue this week (and that game was INTENSE).

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

...you see random numbers, and instantly assumer that they're an FRC team number!

...you are constantly looking for cool "toys" to buy when you're at Home Depot.

...you can't stop thinking about FIRST. Ever.

When you are at IHOP watching the end of The Greater Kansas City Regional and jump on TBA to look up the price of your tickets.

When CAD becomes "fun".

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

When at fast food restaurants, you only buy meals that cost your team number.
(for those who do not understand my vague wording, I buy a burrito meal at my local Taco Bell because it costs $4.69)

When you worked so hard at the regional that anything is hilarious on the ride home. Including making bow ties/hats out of zip ties

When you can't sleep the night after a regional because you have "Cotton Eyed Joe" stuck in your head.

Or when everything is hilarious at the restaurant you all go to later that night, hence giving birth:

This could be a problem for lower team numbers, and team numbers that don't end in 9. Know any place that sells a meal for $3.30?

I'm not overdosed, just curious.
