Re: Team Traditions
On 3556, we've always celebrated "FIRST-giving". On the day before the Superbowl, we ask for everyone to bring in thanksgiving dishes for a FIRST-giving dinner. The entire team sits in a circle and goofs off, and someone usually suggests that we invite Dean and Woody to the next FIRST-giving.
We also have The Hulk, which came about in 2012 when a toy Hulk figure ended up in the bag with our Rebound Rumble robot. It's been a mainstay on our robots, drivers' station, and on top of some of 3556's machining equipment ever since. We even refer to lining up our robot for Auto mode as "Hulking it in".
We also unofficially designate day two of competition as "Classy Friday". Most of the team rocks their business attire, ranging anywhere from dress shirts and ties to three-piece suits. We even had someone in a tuxedo one year, but the shoe phone jokes became too much.
