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

[davidthefat]

When I am looking forward toward the FIRST season than the football game on friday... I am pretty burnt out from Football, I chose it will be my last year, and do Robotics all through my second half of my Junior year to graduation

when you spent 6 tiresome(but still amazing) weeks building a robot and still decided to compete at one(or more) regionals with your team, volunteer at 3+ other regionals as well as champs, get home and wonder what you're gonna do until january...

When you get goosebumps just thinking about kickoff.

When you jump up and down and commence screaming when you find out you are registered for Championships this year.

When you get overly excited explaining FIRST to the freshman on the team, and begin to scare them a little.

You scream with glee every time you see an Airtrax in the latest Star Trek movie.

[Phoenix Spud]

You notice the number of medals Australia currently has in the 2010 Commonwealth games equals a team number! (121)

...you see this quote: http://notalwaysright.com/drive-hoo/7015
and immediately look up team 1209 to see whether that team is in that area.

When you see the following problem in your math book during class and instantly think "FIRST"

The number T of teams that have participated in a robot-building competition for high school students can be modeled by T(x)=(7.51x^2)-(16.4x)+35, 0 is less than or equal to x, x is less than or equal to 9, where x is the number of years since 1992. for what years was the number of teams greater than 100?

(bonus points to whoever solves it)

I know the answer.

Spoiler for The Answer:

42...Oh, wait, wrong answer.

Spoiler for Real answer:

Any year after Year 4, or any year beyond 1996.

The real question is, is that an accurate function for FRC?

How many teams did we have during last years competition? According to this function we would have 2173.

[kgzak]

1997+

in your pre-engineering class everyone, including the teacher, asks for advice from you.

If math books know FIRST, the government can't be far behind Where is the secretary of education?

when your bored enough to think up a wd-40 spin-off of an old spice commercial
Hello nerds,
look at your robot, now back to me, now back to your robot, now back to me! sadly, it isnt me, but if it stopped using ladies scented robot wash and switched to WD-40 it could smell like me. look down, back up, where are you, your at the arena with the man your robot could smell like. whats in your hand, back at me, i have it. its an oyster with that tool you love. look again, the tool is now nuts and bolts. anything is possibe when your man smells like WD-40 and not a lady. im on a bus

Wildcat, if you filmed that you would make my life.

In the 2010 season I forgot where the bus is going to be so I missed it and just showed up for the brainstorming session when the team got back. Maybe I will make it in 2011. I don't like how usually if you miss the live webcast there's usually no video you could download. Internet went down while watching the Championship :/
