Re: What are your Team Traditions?

Ok, well, we have a couple and many are just so normal to me I'm sure I'm missing some, but here is what we have:
(These are since the "New Spikes Age" started, which was our second year, seeing as we were re-rookiefied, our school didn't let former members of the team back on for some reason, except for one which continued coming even though he was told not to)

- Every year we take a marker and put a dot on the robot in a mini-ceremony. It's called the lucky dot, and the dotter has to be a certified dotter. This stems from a class tradition in my class in 10th grade, when we'd have a girl called Chen run around the class before tests and dot everyone's hand for luck. So far the only certified dotter is Chen, and she is leaving this year, so we need to start a certification proccess....

- The person leading our morales always comes to the competition wearing wings.

- The person leading our morales is always short and noisy (this includes the year before the "New Spikes" too)

- We have an ending ceremony every year, but so far it doesn't really have anything interesting

- On the last Friday before ship-date, our mentors buy us Chinese food.

- I don't think this is considered a tradition, but it kinda fits here too:
Every year our school shuts us down. Our school's administration decides we aren't worth the effort. Then after 2 months of lobbying they find us an impossible condition for keeping the team alive, thinking we won't be able to do it, and thus getting us off their backs. Every year, so far, we have managed. Then they decide that they still don't want the team, and then we get one of the sponsors to buy the KoP and registration without the school's approval, so that the school can't say no.
It's a game we have been playing with our school's administration for the past 4 years: at first it was only if you manage to get a major financial sponsor. Then it was only if you manage to get a technical sponsor with fabrication abilities. Now it's somehow we have to find a robotics teacher that will teach robotics in their school, but he can't be a former team member and WE have to pay his salary from OUR budget.... but, we've never failed so far....
