291's 2010 robot just up and disappeared one day. We came back from Atlanta, had it for a few weeks and then it was gone. No one has seen it to this day.

For some reason no one knows, of every female member of our team (sadly, only 5, a number we intend to change), none of them are heterosexual (two asexual, 2 pansexual, and one I don't know but I know they're not straight)

Our team has a similar tradition with Dairy Queen. It has inspired many jokes.

At our first district this year, I was injured 4 times during the competition. (just little scratches or bumps here and there. Nothing serious, but definitely noticeable)

At our second event, teammates were trying to guess how many bumps and bruises I would end up with. XD The lowest guess was 5. The highest was 13. I ended up getting 4. :p

Did you report this to anyone? That's disgusting.

The Zebracorns have a plush Zebracorn head mounted on a piece of plywood on the wall of our lab like a hunting trophy. The story behind it is that the students would drag this awful (and smelly) plush Zebracorn to competition for a couple of years. It would sit in the stands and it had like 200 buttons pinned to it. It was lifeless and kind of sad... and smelly, even after being washed.

One day, while cleaning up our lab I found it and I had had enough along with one of the other mentors... I yelled "AUSTIN! Get your knife and come here." And so the head of Rutherford is now mounted on the wall of our lab. It has some safety glasses on it now too... and maybe a plastic goat after this season. Good stuff.

Our safety officer a couple years ago somehow created a dictatorship after the power of being safety officer went to his head. I also became drunk with power as the drive coach and ended up being known as the Glorious Advisor in Chief to the Glorious Supreme Dictator for Life of the Imperial High Safety Council of The Botsmiths. To this day, the dynasty continues as we recently added a member to the Imperial High Safety Council: the Glorious Enforcer of Order and Justice... Basically our we accidentally created a parody government that hands out safety citations for various "unsafe" things... Like existing on a planet that could be hit by an asteroid at any minute, or being within far too close proximity to a dangerous supervolcano such as yellowstone.

I've heard about this one somewhere....

Our team has a tradition of going to a team dinner after competitions. All the students pile into one of our minivans(I think the members have two or three) and blare Fall Out Boy with the windows down. It a way of us cheering for the rest of our team's competitions.:D

We have a Spirit Tsar instead of a spirit group, and he leads anything spirit, including our mascot (and he is that also) he looks pretty good too!

Re: What's the most interesting thing about your team that's not on the Internet... Y
 

We have like 4 or 5 black belts on our team.

For some reason during build last year, two members broke into squats during lunch. Spirit leader got in on it and we all ended up doing squats for two minutes.
Our driver did this randomly the first match of our regional that year, and now its more or less tradition to squat when our team is announced. We've even gotten MCs to do it with us. :>

That, and we name all our toolboxes. I think that's pretty normal though.

Yes, ergo the great KitKat debate.

Every year for the end of Saturday dinner, we go out and eat as a team. Since the team was started back in 2005, we always pick someone from the team for it to be their "birthday" and we sing Happy Birthday and/or get the restaurant involved too.

Also, our drive team always has to have a thing of orange tic taks with them.
