I don't think very many teams value the Spirit Award more than winning a regional, for example, but I think it's still a good award to try to work toward. I think it's an incentive for teams to show not only team spirit, but the spirit of FIRST. Not only cheering on their own teams, but cheering on every team. We all know from experience that it feels good to be appreciated, and cheered for. Everyone wants to do well, and being encouraged by bleachers filled with hyper-active teens can make it all worth while, right?
