I was wondering how other FIRSTers get ready for their regionals? Do you have any "traditions"?

we plan on going to an arcade the night before so we can get our driver and arm operator ready. there used to be a place in NYC that would give out free tokens for A's on your report card, I'm not sure if they still do(i need to check) but thats one of the places we might go.

We have Spirit Saturdays where we prepare spirit items to take to the regional but since FLR happend in week 1 Spirit Saturday is being used to prepare spirit items for the championship instead.

No traditions for out team, really. We just prepare the checklists that the drivers are supposed to use before going out on the field, inventory everything and. pack what we need, do the bill of material lists, and other things of that nature.

Our team doesn't have traditions, but the week before a regional consists of button making and uh more button making.

We don't really do anything at all..... I'll have to start one.

And now I'm sad. I didn't get 1006's button in pittsburgh last weekend.

We don't really have one, but since we go to VCU (week 1 regional) we're pretty much still sleeping off the build season by the time we go to our regional.
