Spirit
It is traditional for teams to choose a theme for their sled; they often wear appropriate costumes and incorporate elements of the design into their technical exhibit and sled aesthetics. This has become a major part of the competition, making up a large part of the spirit award, as well as the best uniforms award. Theme ideas are most often drawn from pop culture or retro references, or based on the team's home university and its location.

Famous quotes containing the word spirit:
“But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?—the entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world—a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“It is an accepted fact and one that is wholly in accordance with a proper American spirit of democracy, that girls should be educated with a view to earning their own living. A specified and sustained occupation, having in end a definite purpose, is undoubtedly a help to every human being.”
—Clara (Marquise)
“So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 2:17.
