Help Naming our Off-Season Event!!

[fiona.crush1011]

Hello my name is Fiona Hanlon and I am a mentor of CRUSH 1011 from Tucson, AZ. Every year for the past 7 years we have been holding an off-season event in which we have called Robolympics. This year, we are using a official FIRST field and we are considering changing the name.

We think Robolympics sounds unprofessional and there is a possibility for improvement. We also believe that the marketing opportunities of this name are limited.

Some possible names (not very good ones) are: Southern Arizona Robotics Festival, Tucson Robotics Competition, Robots in T Town, Robotic Fun Under the Sun, and Tucson Robot Rumble

Please comment with your suggestions!

I like Tucson Thunder... :)

Tuscon Tussle

[z_beeblebrox]

I'm excited!! (Not a name)

Will it be formatted more like it has been in the past consist of standard matches?

[IKE]

OK, this one is extra cheesey:

FIRST A Tuscon Z...


T-AZ-I (Tuscon AZ Inivitational)

[rlowe61]

Simple...

"Desert Dust-Off"

you're dusting off the robots getting ready for the new year, and where is Tucson....think about it.

[Koko Ed]

Desert Storm!

[bardd]

How about Crush Chaos?

[fiona.crush1011]

The event will be different then in previous years.
Since we are actually getting a FIRST field, there will be a registration fee(to help cover costs), and we will be playing a game very similar to Ultimate Ascent!

Thanks for all the great ideas so far, keep them coming! :)

Desert Storm!

They can play Sandstorm by Darude (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJrVZCbKxsE) on loop for the entirety of the event. You know, for theming purposes.

[dodar]

Shootout at the DK Corral.

[Banderoonies]

What about something on the classy side like:

"Tucson Robotics Cup"

"Tucson Robotics Open"

[JustbeingJFK]

You should name it The CRUSH Crusade or the Tucson Tousle.

Yes but you can't have offseason's without teams, and not one team will show up if you promise this. :rolleyes:

A friend of mine just texted me a few more. Figured I would post them to see if it helps spark any other names!

Southwest Scrimmage
Southwest Shuffle
Robot Round Up

[AllenGregoryIV]

Robot Round Up

Not saying you can't use it but the big Texas off season has been Texas Robot RoundUp for several years now.

I thought I had heard of an off-season like that but I was not sure!

[fiona.crush1011]

Some more suggestions from a friend:

Burning Bot
Melted Metal Mashup

[GUI]

Sonoran Showdown
Saguaro Shuffle
Tucson Tech Tumble

[ktrobotcreator]

Just so you know, there is a Carnegie Mellon robot thing called Robolympics so it doesn't sound too unprofessional.

Umm.....

I liked the Sonoran Showdown one.

[Caleb Sykes]

Tuscon Tussle
+1

[Justin Montois]

Tuscon Tussle is good.

I'll throw one in...

Dust-up in the Desert.

[Koko Ed]

How about Rust in the Dust?

[dodar]

Whatever the name of the off-season event is you have to make shirts that have, "It's Tuscon like Donkey Kong!" on it as the event motto.

[gyroscopeRaptor]

You could just go simple and name it the Tuscon Sandstorm.

[safiq10]

I imagine the MC at the event saying "Team Crush Presents: Trouble in Tuscon or Operation Desert Storm". Both sound good in my opinion and you could make some really nice posters with both of them not to mention T-shirts!

[themccannman]

I'd definitely vote for Tuscon Tussle or Dessert Dust-off.

[Justin Montois]

Go with Tuscon Tussle, you won't be disappointed.

[fiona.crush1011]

So I think we are going to go with Tucson Tussle, any ideas for possible logos??

If I get a good logo idea, I can convince the other mentors that it should be Tucson Tussle!

I like dust-offs (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=15&cad=rja&ved=0CIQBELcCMA4&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGUu lA_5eTPI&ei=kDrgUdCCJ4reiAKJk4CgDg&usg=AFQjCNGta55msfcGnvkLwV-0uhS7DfMBJQ&sig2=br0oXP8Ew64mK1ooh_c3hw&bvm=bv.48705608,bs.1,d.aWM),
but I hate dusting off anything in my backyard during the monsoon, knowing that within a week, I'll have to "dust off" again.

Logos for Tucson Tussle? Two mountain lions /wildcats fighting. Just like (cough, cough) UoA.

[Travis Hoffman]

Tagline: "No Water Game Here"

I wish CD had a like button.

[Alan Anderson]

For a logo, how about a couple of boxing saguaro?

I'm not too good with Photoshop so I'll just try explaining my logo idea.

I would have 2 "T's" connected Side by side in block letters, like this.. TT. In the top bars of the T's it would say Tucson in one T and Tussle in the other. Then on top of the T's would be a side view of the current game field.

Something like that..

[dodar]

How about 2 T's that are boxing in a ring with the ring side banner having, Tuscon Tussle.

Like in the style of rock 'em sock 'em robots? Hehe..

[Red2486]

This is excellent...
