Rituals during build season

[jblay]

A few of us have mcdonalds breakfast every time we have a weekend meeting. The goodness is mostly in the tradition, that and the layers of butter

We start robotics every day at 3:34 (Our team number). That gives us 30 min between school and robotics to "blow off our adolescent steam." =P

We have team social night during build season, we work from Mon - Sat but then on Fridays we do LAN parties (i.e. Halo, starcraft, etc.), board games, laser tag, ice skating, etc. to bond and hang out as a team.

We have many traditions/rituals on our team:
*we start and end every meeting with a cheer (even team spirit requires practice)
*Like many teams kickoff is followed by a brainstorming session on both Saturday and Sunday so we can hit the ground running with the robot design.
* every team member writes a journal entry and reads it in front of the whole team
* we have at least one pot luck lunch during the build season during the Saturday build session (has recently grown to two due to popularity).
*Mentors eat breakfast before the Saturday meeting at the Liberty Restaurant on Winton Rd. (this may have changed now that we have moved downtown).
*when our spirit leader graduates they elect a new Prince or Princess of Positive Propaganda (aka the Cheer Nazi) at the team picnic.
