How do you get ready for Regionals?

I was wondering how other FIRSTers get ready for their regionals? Do you have any "traditions"?

Re: How do you get ready for Regionals?

we plan on going to an arcade the night before so we can get our driver and arm operator ready. there used to be a place in NYC that would give out free tokens for A's on your report card, I'm not sure if they still do(i need to check) but thats one of the places we might go.

Re: How do you get ready for Regionals?

No traditions for out team, really. We just prepare the checklists that the drivers are supposed to use before going out on the field, inventory everything and. pack what we need, do the bill of material lists, and other things of that nature.

Our team doesn't have traditions, but the week before a regional consists of button making and uh more button making.

Re: How do you get ready for Regionals?

We don't really have one, but since we go to VCU (week 1 regional) we're pretty much still sleeping off the build season by the time we go to our regional.
