Team Cheers
 

What were some of the team cheers that you herd this season. We used a Cheer that had apart of our robots name in it our robots name being Arm N Ra; The Ra Venger, so one of are engineers came up with WHO..Ra...Who..Ra and it would go on while they were setting up the robot for the match. It was a great cheer and we loved to use it. So what were some of the cheers that you herd, excluding the division cheer.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Well, ours - which makes NO SENCE, is...

Gimme an A
A
Gimme an A
A
Gimme an A
A
What's that spell?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

That, or yelling
A... A... A... A... A... A... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

We've been doing it for years. And before this becomes a big 'ol "We started the A cheer" thing, don't. Know one knows when it started, who started it, or why. Everyone thinks they started it.

It just is what it is...

Re: Team Cheers
 

Well I was on Galileo (GALI! LEO!) so "GILA GILA GILA" was heard a lot...

Re: Team Cheers
 

I heard alot of people making fun of our X-WhAAAt!!! cheer.
At least they remember it. :rolleyes:

Re: Team Cheers
 

I heard the A cheer in 2001 at Disney. I'm not sure which team was doing it (maybe Tigertrons), but every time they saw a FIRSTer in the parks they yelled it out as a greeting. We quickly picked it up and began using it ourselves, just as many other teams have.

So it's at least 5 years old.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Here are some other ones we like to do:

A... E... I... O... U... sometimes Y

YMCAAAAAAAAAAA!

Slow chant of A that turns into screaming AAAAAAAAAA!

Re: Team Cheers
 

Back in 2003 our robot was named B.O.B ( battery operated bee) so our lead mentor after we won a match got the team together and started this chant.

Mentor- "gimme a B"
team- "B"
Mentor- "gimme an O"
team - "O'
Mentor- "gimme a B"
team- "B"
Mentor- "What does that give you"
Team- "BOB"

And last year whenever we capped the goal our team would shout "We got" "Big Balls"

This year was just a bunch of yelling and screaming. "Vote For Pedro" because somehow our robot ended up with the name Pedro.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Most of the time our team chants "EDDIE!!!! EDDIE!!!! EDDIE!!!" because our robot is Fast Eddie.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Ummmmmm....... GO BEACH BOT!!!!

Re: Team Cheers
 

I know it was around in 2000. But I'm sure it's older then that...

Re: Team Cheers
 

We say "Double - O Seeven" *stomp stomp* *quick 3 stomps* and then keep going whenever we are finished a match. It's insane. We did it even when we lost. Or just the simple...

GO MOONRAKER!!! wooooo! Or we'd cheer on our drivers. =)

Re: Team Cheers
 

OOOOOO OHHHHHH CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CALP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP GO MOE!

That is MOEs cheer, you can hear it on our website along with our MOE sticks and the wobblies

Re: Team Cheers
 

We have a few introduced this year.

We sing the opening lines of the Numa Numa song.
I chant AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE-followed by a team response of OY OY OY.
I also heard the team chant Corey a few times from the stands, that was a bit creepy yet flattering.

Re: Team Cheers
 

well one of our captains name is Isaac and he does a weird litttle arm cross dealy seen here "the isaac"
anyway when he is a coach in the booth or whenever we feel like it I bust out the ISAAAAAAAC and everyone does the isaac.
Another we have is the flower power chant, the daisy slow clap, and my personal favorite the WHO ARE WE.....341!!!!!!
~Aaron
"un-official 341 spirit leader"

Re: Team Cheers
 

We have yet to come up with a cool cheer so if anyone has an idea PM me.

Re: Team Cheers
 

Maybe you could make a UFO woosh sound FX or something.

MHWOOO mhwooo MHWOOOO mhwoooo



uh, maybe not...

Re: Team Cheers
 

Tom Nader - WHO'S HOT?
Team - WE'RE HOT!

We also used to use :
H, H, H with an O
O, O, O with a T
H with an O, O with a T
H O T

Re: Team Cheers
 

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".

**bows humbly before Koko Ed**

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!

Re: Team Cheers
 

I heard a team last year- I think at Arizona but I'm not sure- that had a really wierd cheer. It went something like:
leader: NO LOOSE SCREWS!!
team (and anyone else around): WE'RE ALL NUTS!!
(repeat as necessary)

Re: Team Cheers
 

Heh, did anyone else notice the (likely unintended) props to our team, when the announcer noted that 12 in binary is 1100?

I'm thinking of starting a "12!" cheer next year... or even for the off-season competition. Unless there's a team 12, in which case we should pick them for an alliance.

One team was handing out Atlanta Braves (I assume) Tomohawks, but as they did not put their team number on the inflatable devices, I can't say who they are. Since our team is called the Tomohawks, we took these, raised them up and down and made rather Native American-sounding tonalities. :)

811 does something similar with our... (er, their, I'm not with them anymore) cardboard cardinal "chops," chopping them up and down whilst chanting "8-1-1."

Re: Team Cheers
 

Thanks to everyone who gave us an idea. Listen next year for us. Hey X-Cats just thought i should tell you that at every other competion we would do one of your cheers. We had more spirit for you than we did our own team. And by the way if anyone from 33 sees this, one day after a regional me and my friends were walking down the halls of our school screaming "who are we, 33 " "what are we, killer Bees".
