team cheers

[Sayrah]

I kept waiting for one of the students to pipe in for Exploding Bacon, but here goes....

One person yells Oink Oink
Everyone else yells BOOM!
repeat until you've lost your voice....

another...

one person yells "Whos got more bacon than the pan can handle?"
team..."We got more bacon than the pan can handle!"
first person..."Whos got more bacon than the pan can handle?"
team..."We got more bacon than the pan can handle!"
first person..."Oink"
team... "Oink"
first person "Oink"
team..."Oink"
all together..."Oink Oink BOOM!"

This is more of an Aussie cheer, but we plan on using it:

First person (FP)-Aussie, aussie, aussie
Team-Oi, oi, oi
FP-Aussi, aussie, aussie
Team-Oi, oi, oi
FP-Aussie
Team-Oi
FP-Aussie
Team-Oi
FP-Aussie, aussie, aussie
Team-Oi, oi, oi!

Our robotics team doesn't have any cheers, but here are some that our school uses that you can try to adapt:

J-U-D-G-E (Start slow and gradually increase speed)

C-r-u *clap clap clap* s-a-d *clap clap clap* e *clap* r *clap* s Crusaders!

[Dantvman27]

We used to borrow a chant that the fans use at the football games when we are on defense in the red zone:


*starts REALLY slow and each time it gets a little bit faster and faster*

"Na-Na-Na Nobody messes with the Astro-Machine"



But after much "debate" some of the team parents said the chant was un-GP, so we retired it (to my reluctant and sad agreement)

One of Team RUSH's standard cheers is:

1! We are Team RUSH!
2! A little bit louder!
3! I still can't hear you!
4 more more more

repeat 3 times, then end on yelling one the 4th cycle.

I'm not sure if this is a RUSH original or borrowed, but it's a fun one.

I'm expecting to hear some 'Super Nerd' cheers. If I don't, I'm going to be mighty disappointed.

We'll do our best, but no guarantees.

It's actually a really standard cheer for cheerleaders all over. I remember when I had planned on trying out for cheer in 8th grade (*twitch*), that was one of the ones we were supposed to memorize, but with "the panthers" instead of "Team RUSH".

You beat me to it!

My team has a fairly groan inducing, yet still fun cheer, created by the great Tyler Olds years ago at Wisconsin.

"What's better than robotics? More Robotics!"

The thing that makes sense to me is that people use this cheer who've never heard of More Robotics before. I'll tell people about my team at college and they'll be like "Heh, like the cheer right?"

[Josh Goodman]

How about something like....

F-I-R-S-T
We're rocking out scientifically.
F-I-R-S-T
F to the I to the R to the S to the T
The Kings and Queens of the Laboratory

I'm sure that would be a huge hit if you sang it between 80-200 times at the Boston Regional.

[Mr. Pockets]

1189 cheer = all hands in + someone saying "We're all..." = Massive shout of "GEARHEADS!"
Good fun, especially in enclosed areas!

Though in our case that's really not reserved for comps. We do it almost everywhere.

[JaneYoung]

I got to sit with MOE at IRI and learn how to clap. It rocked.

One of the things I've asked our spirit lead to do is come up with a one-line or two-line cheer this year. An idea that I suggested was to have a contest within the team for the cheer. Winner wins a gift certificate to Frys. Don't know what she will decide but, hopefully, we'll have an awesome team cheer by 2010.

The classic cheer out on the West Coast for many years was the Gila Dance (Team 64, Gila Monsters, now split into at least two teams).

Leader: AAAWWAAAWWAA!! (pounding chest--think Tarzan yell/chest pound)
(repeat from group)
Leader: AAAWWAAAWWAA!! (pounding chest)
(repeat from group)
Leader: Gila!*jump* Gila! *jump: Gila-Gila-Gila! (while jumping in a circle)
(repeat from group)
Leader: Gila!*jump* Gila! *jump: Gila-Gila-Gila! (while jumping in a circle)
(repeat from group)
(Repeat whole thing)

The last performance was at the 2008 Arizona regional, after a key mentor passed on.

[Fe_Will]

We use a cheer from our school, it is done with one or two people leading and the remainder following:

Leader: "Raider, Raider, Raider!"
Group: "Oi, Oi, Oi!"
Leader: "Raider, Raider, Raider!"
Group: "Oi, Oi, Oi!"
Leader: "Raider!"
Group: "Oi!"
Leader: "Raider!"
Group: "Oi!"
Leader: "Raider, Raider, Raider!"
Group: "Oi, Oi, Oi!"

It is like a town watchman announcing that raiders are coming. It gets pretty loud most of the time and we avoid doing it in the pits because you can't hear anything else.

P.S. Having a cheer lead by one person requires them to be loud enough to catch everyone's attention and get things started. We do it before every match and after most of them. I suggest having a rotation of leaders or one person who can last the event. Bonus points if a person on your drive team can lead a cheer from the floor
