2. Chipotle happens at least twice during build season.
3. We always try to build a t-shirt cannon. (this year we actually did... but it blew up.. twice. PM me for details. haha)
4. we have a system for naming bots like naming hurricanes. Every other year, the robot is a girl's name. year one: CRAP (Cougar robotics automated Project). year Two: Sasha.

5: There is an unspoken competition to see who can get all 61 buttons at our regional first.
6: KISS. (Keep it Simple, stupid!)

7: We use a classic red wagon to transport the bot. (That senior graduated tho, so I am now making a custom spray painted ACTUAL cart for the robot with our team's logo graphiti style.
