Favorite Drive Team Salutes

[BJC]

We jump, I'm not sure how it started, but now it's just what we do.

Hehe, I always love 1717's little penguin dance.

[Walter Deitzler]

1094's little fish dance is fun to watch (hands on the side of the head, go side to side, move hands like fins.)

haha, it's the Jim Zondag jump. Put up three fingers on each hand to make 33 and jump as high as you can. ...it's Zondag. Pretty sure that doesn't need an explanation or reason.

We have a little bunny hopping dance.

Metal Mustangs (2410) tip their hats in unison.

And of course there's 1742 (Shock what? SHOCKWAVE!)

It also happens to be my favorite drive team "salute". We just stand there .

Our team does the wonton soup, which is a dance where you hold your left arm straight and pretend to stir a bowl of soup with your right.

Not sure what it means, but last year team 716 the who'sCteks had a salute for a mentor that looked like they were brushing off the front of their shirt.

360 (The Revolution) drive team members spin in a circle and bow.

2046 (Bear Metal) does this thing where they gather into a circle, put their hands in the middle, and jump.

488 (Team XBot) members make an X with their forearms.

2928 (Viking Robotics) members kind of stroke the horns of the Viking helmets they wear.


That's all I can remember from watching various Pacific Northwest regionals.

Our team does what we call the "Clap Clap Whoosh". Basically what it is is that we slap our hands on our thighs twice and then we create air tornados with both our hands (holding one finger up and circling it toward your face) and then say WHOOSH!

During one of the matches we had to change our driver station laptop so to keep the audience busy the emcee made the whole staduim do our clap clap whoosh haha

Spending most of my time behind a camera at events now means I'm always looking for good shots of team intros. In no particular order, these are some of the favorite ones I remember:

GaelForce has been doing a Charlies Angels type thing
1100 was ALWAYS Dancing!
Funky Monkeys did a Crazy Monkey Dance (I think I have a pic somewhere)
340 does a Tiger Claw Attack (GRR)
3003 would fill the glass with Hands
145 makes TRex Arms
Here is the 33 Jump!
Baxter Bomb Squad's Archers?
I think this is Bacon Exploding...
And maybe Milking the Holy Cow?
Digital Goat Horns
Air Strike's Towel Spinning
The Infinite Loop!
The Uberbot's Superman
48 did some sort of Wind Up Bernie Dance!
2168 always has something creative, last year it was Angry Hips, this year it's making it rain
MORT did Gagnam Style

I think its awesome when the teams come up with something unique that is their signature for the year. It makes the event fun, and keeps the crowd (and the MC!) guessing!!

Keep up the awesome creativity!
