team spirit tools...

Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. Last year our team won the National team spirit award and the Arizona team spirit award.

The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award buy making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams.

Its also not a bad idea to cheer for other teams....

Bingo!
FIRST wants to see if you're cheering, not only when you are on the field or doing well but for other teams and when you are not doing so well. They want to reward your FIRST spirit not just your TEAM spirit.

There is team spirit at the competitions (tons of team spirit at Chesapeake this week from many teams including a WONDERFUL volley across the arena between the alliances in the final match) and then there is the team spirit award:
DaimlerChrysler - Team Spirit
This award celebrates extraordinary enthusiasm and spirit through exceptional partnership and teamwork.

The award is not necessarily given to the team with the most spirit at that competition. I never realized it until I looked up the definition of the award this morning.

Some people started fussing me out because of our totem pole...but it showed up well on the big screen.
