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

[Spirator]

When you get home from a weekend working with the team, go to school during the week and halfway through that week, you wonder where your weekends went.

[ChrisH]

When you are climbing a steep hill in Yosemite with a 40+ lb pack on your back and you start counting the switchbacks and naming them after teams.

Special Note for Al Skierkiewicz, we camped at 111

[pSYeNCe]

When you see some commercial that says "First is the beginning. First moves us forward, fast." and it goes on to say all kinds of things about First, not mentioning a product until the end, and you freak out because you think it's about FIRST (come on! There were spaceships too!). Then you sigh explosively when it's about some phone.

[Wildcat]

When your favorite area at the maker Faire Detroit was the FIRST area

[EricH]

When you see a license plate that has a team number and the letters "GAG" on it--and wonder why anybody would gag at that particular team.

When you make that comment in the car, and immediately get told that you're overdosed on FIRST.

[kgzak]

When you are making a stand for your xbox and think of ways to make it lighter.

@kgzak: Swiss Cheese?

@pSYeNCe: I thought that too, it's rather annoying.

...when your friend mentions seeing a robot made out of cardboard, and you immediately turn to a friend from another team and ask whether that's competition legal

[Brianna]

...When you look at old competition photos at least once a week.

...When you know that it is exactly 158 days until Kickoff 2011.

[Bjenks548]

When some of your friends say a number, they look at you expecting to hear a team name (I've done that to them too often)

When your room is slowly transforming from sports trophies to robotics memorabilia (just looking around i can see my 548 slingback with my robotics letter and 3 pins, my hat with chairman pin, 2 paper plate awards, safety glasses, 10 more pins, 3 medals, my "bling", back up robotics hat, small soccer ball that says 2010 breakaway, the trident, 2 moon rocks, and a super cell)

When you take the time 134 days before kickoff to post on chief delphi

[MishraArtificer]

...when you were disappointed that there were no robots in the Monroe County Fair Parade. ****it.

[AlexandraS]

When the school year isn't enough and your summer job is teaching NXT Robots at day camp...and then attempt to convince all your campers to find an FRC team to join

I did the exact same thing. Except I was like screaming in a movie theater, then got angry looks... oops.

...When you think that is an awesome transformation

[Andrew Schreiber]

When you spend nearly 3/4 of an interview describing what FIRST is to the interviewer... and he debates using that as another thing to screen potential employees by.

[demosthenes2k8]

...when you realize that, when installing software, you automatically write your team name under "Organization".
My Openoffice installation is for the good of the team.
