Years ago, someone on the team determined that "AAAA" was the last sound you can make before you completely lose your voice.
Now here are the other "reasons":
- Most of the time no one can hear what a team is chanting, so we just go for noise.
- We were going to go through the alphabet, but we get lost after A
- The mentors have a lot to remember, so we limited the team to one letter.
- Spelling L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G R-O-B-O-T-I-C-S is hard. So we made the variable A = Lightning Robotics. (I made that one up right here, right now... have to use that one on the team on Wed.)
For the record... we are adding more cheers into our style guide this year.
