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

FIRST General Forum
#2641

when you can’t wait for school to be over for the day so you can go build

when you wear your robotics team warmup jacket to school (and it’s considered completely normal for you)

when you find fuses in your pocket and smile

when you’re planning during class, start talking to yourself about it, and people just smile and shake their heads

when your significant other is jealous that you spend so much time involved with robotics

when you hate snow days because that’s another day of the build season lost

when you’re more stressed about there only being a week left in the build season than you are about anything remotely related to school

#2642

When you look in your backpack and you have robot parts, a dremel, wire strippers, a tetrix motor, epoxy and a digital caliper

#2643

When you go into school early to work on the robot, and then school gets closed because of a snow day, and you smuggle the robot out of the school and work all day anyways at a students garage.

(I was not involved in this endeavor - we have some awesome students!)

#2644

you buy a laser edge finder because you get tired of using wigglers…

#2645

when you’ve been wearing your team hat everyday for 4 weeks

#2646

When… You discover the meeting that was scheduled for today got canceled because of the Superbowl… so instead of building you are making more claw designs… While at a huge party…

#2647

When you post something your team wrote on a whiteboard in the quotes thread, then see it show up in spotlight and a forum signature.

#2648

My boyfriend ended up breaking up with me because I spent so much more time with all the guys on my team then with him(my team only has 2 girls). Robotics girls are just always better, haha. :stuck_out_tongue:

#2649

when you’re planning to sneak back into the workspace after the head mentor closes it for the night…and when you realize other people would do it too

when you spend your evenings after robotics messaging team members about robotics while writing code

when all the people you work with know exactly which team member you’re talking about, even though you never mentioned their names

#2650

When you text someone:

“Snowday tomorrow :frowning: :(”

#2651

The only reason you are KINDOF ok with no robotics, is the hope Will I Am will be wearing his hat… :slight_smile:

#2652

Yes. Yes, yes.

And when you’re sorry that there’s a superbowl game because you can’t work.

#2653

Very ture! Just don’t tell my girlfriend that! :stuck_out_tongue:

#2654

ok, got a better one-

when you’re glad it’s the superbowl because everyone else went home to watch the game and you get to stay and work undisturbed. :smiley:

#2655

When instead of caring about the superbowl you celebrate Chinese New Years and spend all Sunday working on robotics related stuff.

Team members recognize you as always being on Chief Delphi.

Team members want you as human player for knowing the rules, not moving tubes.

#2656

…when you’ve worn FIRST related shirts to school every day since the start of the school year.
…when you rage that will-i-am did not wear the FIRST hat at the half time show.

#2657

…you’re watching the Super Bowl halftime show and when you see will.i.am, all you can think about is kickoff when he said “'s dope”

#2658

when you’re on CD during the superbowl period

#2659

When you find somewhere to watch the SB so you can see if will.i.am mentions FIRST! (and cheer for your favorite football team…)

#2660

when the reason you didn’t get enough sleep last night is not because of the superbowl like everyone else, but for some reason FIRST related
