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

[Koko Ed]

When you are startled awake by an anxiety driven dream where you feel like you are at a regional as lead que and your sleeping on the job and your team has to take up your slack for your lazy butt so you wake up and can't get back to sleep.

- When you head to your 3rd hour class in room number 217 and people think your crazy because you start randomly start talking about chickens....It happens....
-Oh, and when you suddenly notice that your team signs say 50- cause a certain team keep taking your "3"s...I love them bees

How else are we supposed to cheer for Team 3333? We need to appropriate other people's threes. Duh.

This was made even better as you currently have 33 posts...
I sincerely wish Team 3333 was in Southeast Michigan.



When you clean your room and find enough screws and washers for a decent sized robot...

Didn't even notice that! Awesome!

-when you see someone wearing all denim and dont judge them because dean wears that
-you cant hang out with anyone else for 6 weeks straight and your excuse is "sorry i have (insert team name here)"
-you see mailboxes and try to name the team faster then your other robotics friends.

....when you have come up with a new meaning for IDK.... I'm Dean Kamen.
....you base your college choice on which team is near which college.

[exprg:melonhead]

... you realize that you only have so many years left of this fun. after that, it's considered work

[Ty Tremblay]

When you're walking to class at WPI, see Dean Kamen talking on the phone in the lobby of Fuller Labs, and text EVERYONE you know.

...you are proud of the rubber chicken hanging on your keychain (thanks, 217!)
...you start singing Cotton Eyed Joe in the hallway randomly.
...you wish you could go to Atlanta this year, and can't wait for next kickoff already so you can win a regional next year!
...you are thinking of volunteer/fundraising projects so you won't have to last-minute fundraise to go to Atlanta like last year.

[Andrew Schreiber]

When a discussion about a potential off season project involving multiple sensors and microprocessors turns into a discussion of doing it with spare parts laying around your basement. (Yes, my buddy and I scrounged enough parts out of our respective parts bins to build a 5 axis IMU)

When your friend updates facebook with, "I just found a pic24 in my laundry..."

Oh the joys of being a college student.

Or when at a sleep over you come up with robotics cheers and uniform designs instead of what normal people do at sleepovers.

We have fairly frequent sleepovers at which we make up cheers all night long. The best cheers come @ 3am

.... when you can dance to Cotton-Eyed Joe, Chicken Dance, Cha Cha Slide, and Macarena straight in a row at another non-FIRST event and everyone is amazed you are still somehow moving by the last song (no matter HOW exhausted you are!)

after this happens, your older-non-FIRST sister is between anger because the attention isn't on her and embarrassment because everyone is staring at you going -->

You know you have overdosed on FIRST when you and a teammate wear only FIRST team paraphernalia for twin day.
