I don't know about the mentors, but the students on the Thunderchickens are fueled by a ton of Mountain Dew. Occasionally a Pepsi finds its way in, but its usually Dew, Dew, and more Dew. :D

It varies from day to day, depending on whose turn it is to bring in food - Lots of frozen burritos lately

The kids have also taken to mixing apple cider and hot chocolate mixes :ahh:

We run on lots of pizza, whatever food parents bring, and LOTS of pop.

Last year we had an amazing "pop club" program with a mini-fridge full of Dew and other pop, but we lost our mini-fridge space this year.

I started bringing my own pop, but other team members started stealing it (they didn't know it was mine). Now I bring a cooler of pop every day and they reimburse me for it. They've started demanding pop with higher caffeine content, so I've switched from Dew to Vault (15mg more caffeine per can).

We brew our own soda.

Doesn't have any name yet but we could call it Powercat or something like that.

Pop and Iced Tea. Along with lots of good home cooking thanks to our generous parents that cook a meal for 40 people each night. :)

any kind of sugar loaded soda. Maybe a monster or NOS here and there.

Our team runs off of cheap pizza and "that's what she said" jokes.

We organize for parents to share the load by bringing dinner for the team, but despite the very late nights we rarely have caffeine in the room (or at least what I notice). I don't know if this applies to other teams as much, but since the students each year are all seniors they only have one chance to do FRC and that gives them the strong desire to stay up late and prove what they can do--or at least that was the case with me when I a student on the team. Also, the occasional hilarious story or idea keeps moral up.

Re: What fuels your team
 

We have tried several things; for the first couple weeks we would just pool for pizza or chipotle or even just a run to the grocery store, and then we kind of made a "sign up" where people signed up to bring food or drink for a specific night, and what we've had these last couple weeks when we're at school late we've had a couple parents bring real food, like tacos or chili or sloppy joes, and those meals are delicious We also drink a lot of Mt. Dew and Diet Pepsi.
