we find naming our team the hardest part of the comeptition, i think we spent about 3 meetings on it.

in out first year we were "spork" but in the second year we decided to change it, initially to "teh 240V metric monkey flux n00bs", but that was again universally derided, so we played it safe and went with "systemetric" in the second year.

Even though the commentator at NYC seemed to have real problems pronouncing this, we were called a number of things including "systematic", "systemic" and "symmetric".

We did have plan on calling our team "Bo Selecta!" for the sole reason that the commentator would have to make an idiot of himself by announcing us simply by saying "...And from Cambridge, England, team 759, Bo Selecta!"

But as i said we stuck with systemetric, which i think is still our name for 2004. Anyway this is a bit of a threadjack so i'll shut up now.

Sparky and Grundy,
We made the decision and the 2Train is coming back to VA to see y'all! I'm also pretty excited to see 33 the Killer Bees from Michigan (where I'm originally from, go ThunderChickens 217) is joining us. They're performers and should spice up what is an already pretty stiff competition. NASA/VCU is going to be a blast. Take care.
