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

[NorviewsVeteran]

When you have an experience and think, "hmm. Would that mean I'm dedicated, addicted, or have overdosed? I don't want to put it in the wrong thread..."

- When you manage to write more than a page about FIRST in an essay question on a test.

(Guilty as of this morning.)

- When you go to CD before checking email, Facebook, etc.

Not gonna lie, I do both of these. The essay was actually not a test, it was an application for a position at school.

CD is my most visited site at both work and in both browsers on my computer (one in each OS)

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when after a picture prompt of an alarm clock on a standardized test, you go to lunch and 8 other people at your table also wrote about robotics.

You know you've overdosed on FIRST when you realize that you've just set Google Chrome to turn "tba <teamnumber>" into a search on TBA for that team...

You know it's even worse when you tell a friend and she knows that it's just the usual...

...when you get a team shirt one size bigger than normal so you can slip it on over your SWAT/Volunteer shirt for team photos/receiving awards at competitions.

[Mr. Pockets]

...when you regret that there are no other FIRST folks at the pig roast you go to. That would have made for one killer oink-Oink-BOOM joke ^_^

-Your nomal cross country uniform number (15) is taken by the time you get to the box, so you choose 33 instead, solely because of the team (Hey, it was that or 47. Tough choice)

[Chris is me]

When you've considered making a joint team T-shirt or button just for fun. (I -might- have a "16x5" button in my room. )

What's better than a wave???

You know you are overdosed on FIRST when... you are at a christian music camp and see a guy in a killer bee shirt. After the concert is done, you run up to him and excitedly ask if he is on the the team. He says no, hes on Wildstang, and you just about flip. you talk for robotics for a while, then go talk with another friend from camp. you talk about your conversation... ONLY TO LEARN HE COMES FROM WOBOT!!! then annother friend says he goes to the school the Thunder Chickens come from! I flipped out....... then confessed to bringing safety glasses and an allen [sp?] wrench set to camp............... teeheehee.......

You know you're overdosed over FIRST when you're waiting for someone else to post so you can get the post # related to your team #.

[JesseK]

Or you risk it all in the hopes that no one posts in the next 47 seconds...

[JesseK]

Yea I'd say this is the most overdosed one can get on a lazy night...

when you envy the people meeting other FIRSTers at their camps.

I had a similar experience but not as awesome. I was at a christian leadership camp and as I was in our small group we were asked to say what our three most favorite things to do. My first one was robotics and one of the other kids asked if it was highs school robotics through first and i said yes and he replied with I'm on team 145 T'Rex. With that i told him that i was on team 1519 Mechanical MAYHEM and the kid next to me said that his older brother was on the same team as me. And whenever I wore a t-shirt from a competition, he asked me if it was good enough for his team to trek up north.

That was last year, and this year, i got T'Rex kid as a roommate and the MAYHEM sibling in my small group again.
