When you are playing NCAA football or basketball on your ps3 and you swear that the crowds are chanting RED ALLIANCE or BLUE ALLIANCE!
When you don’t sleep an entire night because thinking of how and what is needed to build a minibot and deployment system before your next regional took priority
…you obsess with your friends about different numbers, such as 2:16 PM.
…you look forward to the weekend, not to hang out with friends, but to go to your next competition.
…you look forward to Spring Break to build robots.
…you have enough buttons to make yourself a full-body suit.
… you have a hard time readjusting back to everyday life after the season’s done.
You and your friends only know when prom tickets go on sale because it is the same week as one of your competitions.
…when your mind wanders during school thinking of improved minibot and minibot deployer designs
…when you spend your lunch reading cd
…when you post on cd during lunch
when you have done almost everything on this thread, while only being a sophomore.
You know you’ve overdosed on FIRST when…
You and another team member shave your Team Number (2081) in the back of your head… when prom is right around the corner 
When you’ve already filled half a notebook with robotics projects since last weekend
When you admire textbook problems having a perfect world where they know what is wrong immediately.
You get used to no sleep
When your teammates make bets about shaving your team number in their head if you go undefeated at your regional. Way to stick to your word Evan!
When you skip senior prom to go to champs
but, there is always roboprom
When you spend two hours loading a trailer with toolboxes in the snow…and enjoy every minute of it.
When in Art class you draw to scale sketches of a new claw design.
When robotics take priority over getting a date for prom.
When you don’t worry about it cause you know you’re going to RoboProm!
This one time at band camp become; this one time at robot camp…(yes we have summer build)
When, at a boy scout meeting where your scoutmasters are talking about other troops, you hear their troop numbers and immediately begin associating them with FIRST teams…::rtm::
…when you are so tired from competition that you fall asleep in the middle of browsing the internet…
Then you wake up in the morning and realize that the site you were browsing was Chief Delphi and your dreams were filled with minibots.
… when you wake and immediately begin designing/ working on said minibot is even better :]
…when you are having an online discussion about printing layouts for booklets, and the printer’s layout for an eight-page “signature” reminds you of the Eliminations Quarter Finals pairings (1-8, 2-7, etc.).
