Does Your Drive Team Have Any Pre-Match Rituals?

During one of our later quals matches at IRI, we were waiting "on deck" and one of the members of our alliance pointed out that we had a seven wheel drive. I was puzzled for a few moments until I looked down and realized that our left rear wheel was missing. This was soon followed by our drive coach running back to the pit for allen keys and our driver and I frantically removing the bumper (which required deploying part of our climber) to attaching the wheel.

Thankfully, this doesn't happen too often, but our drive team had had their fair share of running (or power walking as fast as humanly possible) back to the pit to grab the team standard/fresh battery/3D printed camera mount/status light mount/ratchet pawl/programmer disguised with a safety captain button.
