When you go to AndyMark to pick up parts and end up staying for an hour and helping them unpack 1200 wheel bearings.

When someone at work asks if you spent more time on project X, project Y, or Robotics this week... and he already knows the answer.

When you are best friends with the janitors because you are still there when you are building

When you get to see the janitors leave and you are still at school not planning on leaving yet

You need something to hold your hair up after you spent an all nighter at school so you use a screwdriver

There are more safety glasses on your dresser than in the shop from accidentally bringing them to your house.

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

When...

You use the word Coopretiton outside of Competitions, and out of contex.

When you walk down the hall at school and someone yells EXCUSE ME! you instantly yell ROBOT COMING THREW! right back.

when after walking a long time for the whole day, and your feet are extremely sore, and you are about to get blisters on your feet. you say: "At least it isn't Atlanta."

you leave for lunch one hour before hand so you can beat the long lines.

Your the only group of people that don't tan on a "vacation" to Atlanta.

You know:
Don't Stop Believing
The Macarana

and several other songs, that were popular two to twenty years ago.

You are helping your friend create character sketches for her creative writing class, and you have the most fun plotting the characters' futures because all you do is find ways to get them involved in FIRST
