We realized how much fun it was to win an award and have everyone "high five" us as we returned to our seats, so we have tried to continue that tradition at some of the regionals. It can be a safety issue, however, so I think the tradition has come to an end.
We usually do stand, though, to honor our fellow FIRSTers' achievements when they win an award. It's not as much of a "spirit" thing as it is an "honor and respect" thing.

It's a tough thing to do but you are all my friends. If I didn't win, then I am certainly going to fight back the tears and swallow my pride and CONGRATULATE YOU because I am happy for you! I am going to march over to your team when we lose to you in a Finals match and congratulate you for your outstanding performance. It's what GP is all about. It's what I've learned through FIRST.
