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

[EricH]

When you make a FIRST reference in the car--and immediately think, "This goes in the quotes thread."

When you promptly forget said reference due to discussing IRI.

When you are driving through NJ on I-95 and you are passed by a car filled with people who roll down the windows and wave because they recognize your tags which are the same as your screen name on cd.

...your mom keeps saying "I-469" instead of "I-465" when leaving Indy...and doesn't notice it (we actually DID take the real I-469 on the way down. I was happy.)

I had to navigate back to the airport and I'm pretty sure I just said "take 469" every time.

When you're thinking of how to iterate a robot you've already taken apart that competed in a game that doesn't really exist anymore.

When instead of sleeping on the car ride home, you and 1058 students buy $6 dollar RC cars at Walmart, modify them, drive them in the van home, and play sumo with them on the seats! (1519 won a majority of the matches)

Best car ride ever! 1058 is the best FRC team I have ever met!

[Jeremy Germita]

When you have recurring dreams about the next year's kickoff.
When you see a price painted on a business's window in that team's color, it makes your day(Burger King, $3.99, ORANGE)
When looking for a car, you ask the salesman if it hangs or goes over the bump.
When your cell phone and computer wallpaper is a pic of your team's robot

When, while sitting in Urban Affairs class, your professor talks about people in the 60's thinking that people of today would have robots, and your professor then going on to say no one today has their own robots.

You all know where I'm going here

ALSO

When someone's Facebook status is "no1 can hang =(", besides you getting mad about the grammar, the first thing you think of is commenting "what about [insert 20+ teams here] just from [insert region here] alone?!" only to then realize that he doesn't do FIRST and would thusly be confused.

[kgzak]

When your background on your computers are your team's colors (monitor 1=Purple, Monitor 2=Green, Monitor 3=Black)

When you have part of an older robot sitting in your garage so you can program a mechanum drive

When your dad, who's job is robots in a warehouse environment, is jealous of your desk set up.

I worry about a professor who is completely unaware of the ROOMBA robotic vacuum. They're even sold at Target, so they're mainstream.

But I don't worry about you, because after this you'll be aware that your professors don't always know what they're talking about.

Does owning 3 Roombas count as overdosed on FIRST?

[demosthenes2k8]

No, making them competition legal does.

[princessnatalie]

When you hear Taio Cruz's song, Dynamite,
you mistake the "Gotta let go!" part for "Galileo!"

[kgzak]

When every time you spray the window at work to clean it you spray a question mark shape...and you didn't even realize it until today and you have been working there for over a month.

[kjolana1124]

You're watching Shaytards and he's telling a story and the phrase "this is a literal holy cow moment. Has anyone ever had a literal holy cow moment."

And you just smile.

[kjolana1124]

Because it won't just let me edit ^^ for some reason...

When you're at a dance for camp, Cotton Eyed Joe comes on, and the first thing that comes to mind is "I was unaware that the field was having errors."

When, while typing that, you wanted to write first as FIRST, but then groaned at yourself and your stupid puns.

When you have to stop yourself from dancing at a party when the Cotton Eyed Joe, YMCA, Cupid Shuffle, and Sandstorm comes on because no one there is dancing or from robotics.
