What are your Team Traditions?

[Bertman]

Team 418, LASA Robotics (aka Purple Haze), has two enduring traditions.

We consider Lone Star our "home regional" so no matter where else we go, on the Friday evening at the LSR competition (between the general meeting and the scouting meeting) we bring in the sparkling grape juice and raise a toast to the departing seniors. Each senior gets his/her chance to speak then coaches and mentors are given 5 minutes for rebuttals.

The second tradition we have is that after school lets out for the summer we have what has come to be known as "The Gathering". It is a pot luck BBQ in which everyone that has ever been a part of the team (student, parent, mentor, coach, sponsor) is invited to come and play. We eat, drink, play games, tell war stories, eat, catch up, drink and have lots of fun.
