Not every team is like that due to size and team makeup (boy heavy teams tend to not like cheering with some exceptions). The best thing to do is to try and encourage them.
It also helps if the mentors are a bit crazy themselves. Being open to new ideas (such as our kilts in 2003), shows a team that is comfortable with the "party atmosphere" that so many regionals have. Yes, it is still a competition, and you want your robot to do well, but it also is a celebration of accomplishment. Always make sure that you take the time to celebrate your accomlishments! Even if you do get a bit crazy (in a GP manner, of course)!
