Re: Robot names and Team mottos
 

Every year our robot is a variation on Sam. This is because our official motto is Small and Mighty. This year our robot is SAMXV (it is our 15th year as a team)

Our unofficial motto is "Just because you can build it, doesn't mean you should"

Our robots name is Rosie. One of the few teams that has a robot that is referred to as a girl.

Our motto is "We Can Do It"

Our unofficial motto however is, "Spread out so it looks like we have more people"

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
 

Since our strategy this year was called secret sauce, we wanted robot names that were condiment-based.

Competition robot: Hot Sauce
Practice robot: Not Sauce

We had trouble coming up with an official motto for this year, so one of the students just said, "Robots, amirite?" and it stuck.

Sorry if someone else from my team has already posted!
This year we tried to have a poll/vote for our robots name, and most of them were so outrageous they weren't even counted. We decided on Sonic the Hedgebot (affectionately called Hoodgeboodge) due to its speed and blue "spikes" (which were later made shorter) when one of our mentors noted it. Which is why almost all our videos this year included music from the Sonic games.

I don't think we have an official team motto, besides "Robots From The Grove", but we do have a lot of catchphrases.
