I don't think you sit down and develop a "cool cheer" on paper. I'll bet most of them are created on "spur of the moment" ideas. Look at the ones listed above -- Who would ever think the cheer "Isaaaaaaaaaaaac" would be cool if you wrote it down. You have to start playing with it and trying different tempos to see what sounds best, just as Daisy has done. Same with Raider Robotix "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" cheer. What relevence does that have to their team or robot? Probably none, but they play with it a bit, get a good tempo, and now they have another "cool cheer".

The MOE cheer was developed during the first year the team was in the program. Initially it was more of a rallying call to energize/re-energize the team during the long build evenings. It developed into their cheer at competition, and with the addition of the (now banned) MOEstix became one of the team's trademarks.

Pick some comment made in jest next year and run with it. If you do it with spirit, nobody is going to worry about what it means or how it applies to your team. They just want to see and hear the enthusiasm with which it is performed.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Our spirit queens actual do write cheers down and publish them in a little book that's given out to the rest of the team and we pratice cheering every meeting.

Re: Team Cheers
 

I stand corrected, you CAN sit down and develop a "cool cheer".

Re: Team Cheers
 

Well in addition to WHO?....RA! chant Joel, steven, and I screamed out some little john quotes.(Joel saying WHAT?? Steven saying YEAH!!!! And I said OKAY!!!!!!!!) And then i also screamed A-town occasionally.


By the way one night walking back to our hotel we saw a white hummer limo and our mentor(Mr.Fava) said, "Is that Master P?", but it just so happened that it was T.I.!!!!!!(Rubberband Man!!!). Maybe I'm over exaggerating but it thought it was pretty cool.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Our team is put through rigourish training to always respond to the question "What time is it?" with the answer "279" usually shouted. This is very fun at the competition, but can get a little annoying on the bus ride back from Atlanta...... So if you happen to see anyone in a 279 shirt, feel free to just yell out "What time is it?" and they better answer "279". We know that the huskies know how to do it, and had some fun with them at Great Lakes this year :D .

Re: Team Cheers
 

apart from the natural team numbers chants (eg 6..9..4) , our alliance partners (the pirates) were very funny, but i can't remmeber exactly what they said now....

Re: Team Cheers
 

For my team this year, we had our usual cheer "Whose House? Run's House!", and it wasn't so much a cheer as something to yell but we had "buddy system." Someone would yell "Buddy System" then the team and anyone else who happened to know about it would yell "Buddy!" Next year at the competitions and other FIRST events, rememeber to yell "buddy" whenever you hear "buddy system." We'd love for it to become as universal as "AAAAAAAAAA!" (As a sidenote, the cheer comes from the movie Heavyweights)

Re: Team Cheers
 

I go to alot of high school sports and one of the team I see frequently is Rush Henrietta (who will be joining FIRST next year) who have a very vocal following called the Comet Crazies (modeled after Duke's Cameron Crazies). They have this one cheer that impressed the heck out of me when I was watching them stomp Churchville (at Churchville no less).
It went something like this:

Leader: I!
Group: I!

Leader: I believe!
Group: I believe!


Leader: I believe we!
Group: I believe we!

(pause for effect)


WHOLE GROUP (while vigerously stomping bleachers)
I believe we won won won!I believe we won won won!I believe we won won won!

While it's a very cool cheer it's not a very FIRST friendly cheer (as in Graciously professional. Unless you don't plan to ever get selected ever again In a competition then I guess it's perfectly fine). So I took the cheer idea to our spirit queens who were very fascinated by the cheer but couldn't find a way to make it FIRST appropriate. Too bad it was impressive.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Leader: Who are we?
All: FOUR THREE THREE!
Leader: I can't hear you!
ALL: FOUR THREE THREE!! FOUR THREE THREE!! *dissolves into high pitched girl screams*

Then there was the yelling war between the teams in front of us and behind us (Isaac! Newton!) and a couple girls from my team (GALI! LEO!) during finals....can't say who won but it was pretty close....

"SHAKE YOUR TAILFEATHER!!"

Re: Team Cheers
 

Bingo... Most of the fun ones make no sense. When I tell the team rookies that they will be screaming by the end of the comp they look at me like I'm an idiot.... but they always come around.

494.... this is off the cuff... but try this...
4... 9... 4.. 9.. 4. 9. 4 9 49494-decend into nutty screaming....
It's free from me to you.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Leader:When I say "double", you say "deuce"!
Leader: DOUBLE!
Group: DEUCE!
Leader: DOUBLE!
Group: DEUCE!
Leader: DOUBLE!
Group: DEUCE!

Usually about three times. We also just chant "HOMER!" over and over. For our alliance we will say, "Lets go blue (or red) team, lets go!". Yeah its fun.

Re: Team Cheers
 

We stole one from our basketball team.
1 or 2 guys yell out "game time" and then the rest of the team yells "GAME TIME". And we had "Cir-cuit-run-ners" and "10-0-2" and "Lets go Wheeler"

We were the guys who also yelled CHARGE for lik a minute straight after the bell rang to start the matches.

Then, after our robot spun for 2 matches really fast, we started yelling "spin, spin spin ...."

Re: Team Cheers
 

Maybe you have heard some of ours...

Let's all go nuts?
ROBOTS! ROBOTS!

West! Side! Boilers! *claps*

one from 2003:
Cheer-leader (in a non-sport way): 1-1-1-0-0-1-1-0-1! What's that spell!
rest of team: 461!

and Purdue's usual... Boiler Up!
