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

When you involuntarily twitch upon hearing the "charge" noise.

When more of your music than not you first heard at a FIRST event.

When there is a power drill on your coffee table.

When you buy a laptop rather than a desktop entirely so you can take it to FIRST events.

When you hate Mondays, not because of the normal reasons to hate Mondays, but because those are the only days we don't have robotics of any sort.

I believe that's called an offseason event, as long as other teams show up.

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

When you spend more time in CD reading these posts than you have doing class work all year.

When you purposely try to create logical problems on your Calculus tests that equal to your team's number.

When your friends think that carrying a wrench, screwdriver, and calculator in your pocket is a normal, everyday occurance.

When your classmates tune out your conversations when you start talking in "robotics words", or words your team has made up and created a dictionary for.

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

- When you could be doing your math homework(due at (9:30am) since you didn't do it last night and instead you are on CD posting.

-When you told the teacher you had something you could do since you couldn't get on to the Foresight testing site in English class and even though you know she didn't mean this type of something you go on anyway.

When you've been in a brainstorming session from 5pm onward, it's 30 minutes to midnight, and you're still debating...and 50 other team members are right there debating it with you
