coolest mascot
 

i was just reading some poasts where people could mention who they felt had the coolest robots and which teams had the coolest uniforms and i felt that something very important was being left out. What about thoes brave souls that venture out in their mascot costumes? I'd be very interested to see who every one thought had the cooles mascot.

Re: coolest mascot
 

At Philly, the Metal Moose's had the coolest mascot. Just a big moose, and the announcer wore a big moose head with silver antlers.

Re: coolest mascot
 

I would have to say that team 1266, "the devil duckies" had the best mascot. They had their little dancind devil duck. They even had their "adopt your own devil duckie" program where they handed out rubber devil duckies. They drove the SoCal regional crazy.

Re: coolest mascot
 

At UCF it was Voltage, and THINK PINK. They had awesome mascots. Voltage's is just so cool it looks like a little electric mouse. Lol. Oh and I really like ComBBat's little BBat on the buttons and stuff. :D

Re: coolest mascot
 

I dont know if anyone remembers from UTC, but we have a Tick this year. I'm sure if you saw him though you'd remember him. Its a skin tight blue suit, not everyone could pull it off

Re: coolest mascot
 

i dont know if 811 has their big red bird again this year or not, but he was my favorite mascot last year

Re: coolest mascot
 

you guys havent seen the coolest mascot until you have seen The Retired team 25 mascot in action, (although i may be slightly biased in my opinon) Mr Volcano was the epitomy of cool mascots, the 30lbs hat, complete with 15lbs battery pack backpack an assorment of hula dancers all differnet colors and a muffin fan that shorts out randomly ;) man that guy was cool, if only someone knew what happened to him :p

Re: coolest mascot
 

Ok After watching the NYC Regional

Team 522 is still the only NY Team that wheres Purple and Silver shirts that many participants of the NYC regional would like to get their hands on ! :-). As a matter of fact many other team members were trying to tickle me out of mine. Their mascots seem to coinside with what ever they choose to name the robot year after year while still retaining the wizardry look which I think is awesome. Some teams name their robots after tools / others after sponsors / and a select few name them after a cartoon character or real world figure.

Team 233 Will probably be the only Team on the east coast to not only have the tallest mascot and a stick figure mascot ( pink and black of course ) but to also have 100% of their team in pink. As for Team 233's Robot that was pretty cool. Almost look like they were ready to go sharking with that harpoon, nevertheless it worked flawlessly

and to natebot16 is that the same moose who was "pushed into the hotel pool" during the 2002 nationals. That was pretty cool that must have taken weeks to completely dry out. :-)

Re: coolest mascot
 

i too, would like to second the devil duckies, having my own adopted devil duckie, i am proud to have it. good to see a rookie team so motivated, and i have to say again that i was suprised to see that a 1266 was a rookie team, they act and play with wisdom and professionalism beyond their years.

Re: coolest mascot
 

I really like the thunderchickens...they're entertaining. I haven't seen the devil duckie, but it sounds interesting. :)

Re: coolest mascot
 

What's really sad is I remember that...

But for some odd reason, I'm partial to the Techno-nut (you know, the guy with a big nut for a head). Oh, and I had nightmares about that Techno-tick mascot (for, um, obvious reasons).

Re: coolest mascot
 

We have a bee costume, now the problem is it is meant to br worn by a six year old. But one of our newbies volunteered to wear it, that costume is way too small but he wore it at VCU and Chesapeake. It ways about 30 lbs do to all of the buttons. But he had fun with all of the other mascots and got alot of people to take pictures. LOL...

Re: coolest mascot
 

thats unfortunate. How could someone have nightmares about a blue, spandex wearing, dancing, friendly tick?

Re: coolest mascot
 

Some people may be glad to hear that our mascot "Kurby", a seven foot tall cucumber, will be joining our team at the reginals again this year. Infact, he may even be bringing along another mascot friend with him this year. We're all very excited about the competition. And no worries, we'll still be giving out more cucumbers this year to our fellow teams, lol

Re: coolest mascot
 

I can't remember the team# at the moment, but I loved the jaguar(or whatever cat they were) guys who were running around GLR. Although they were a little too friendly.

Re: coolest mascot
 

FYI, two of those cats "kissed" crop-circles at GLR. HaHa mike

Re: coolest mascot
 

There are always a lot of great mascots at the Great Lakes regional. I believe my favorite is always the big stick of dynamite with the big fists (Team 280 (TnT)).

Re: coolest mascot
 

i do love our blue spandex wearing tick... but, i have to admit that i love tem 811's bird mascot... and at UTC (i can't remember which team it was) but they had a kilt wearing dog there which definitely caught my eye!

Re: coolest mascot
 

We have this massive PINK mascot. I think it is pretty cool. Check it out!

Re: coolest mascot
 

Did the cat's have the big mascot heads or not? Also, did they have a Texan accent? The Leopards were up there freezing and stuff. We looked a lot like the Jaguar team that was also there.

Re: coolest mascot
 

We are working on a mascot that will hopefully be revealed in atlanta, but I would also like to say that the metal moose was pretty sweet at the philly regional.

Re: coolest mascot
 

OK, so I am totally biased ... but my personal favorite is 1018's RoboDevil Chariot.

Re: coolest mascot
 

The "What the Heck is it?" Mascot Award must go to Torch from Team 1006 up in Canada. They are the ones who have the person wearing the giant red and white (papier mache?) sprocket/gear thing with the big blue acetylene/oxygen tanks on its back. It looks like a bad guy from a Super Mario Bros. game or a Pokemon reject. I bet it's the widest mascot in FIRST too. Someone should tape a Wide Load banner to its rear end!

I salute you, Mr. (Ms. ?) Team 1006 Mascot Operator for not maiming yourself or others while expertly maneuvering that gigantic, cool, and unmistakably unique behemoth around the competition arena! :p

Re: coolest mascot
 

No other mascot has anything on team 1006. The Gear with the torch is awsome. Plus they are from Canada.

The technodevils arn't bad tough

Re: coolest mascot
 

I was wondering about that bee costume. It DID seem small. Ha Ha

Also at Chesapeake was the giant soup can. You had to admire the guy who had to wear that around all day. (The team was sponsored by Campbell's, by the way).

Re: coolest mascot
 

i had a few faves from nationals

811 had that charming cardinal, i cant remember the team but they had a devil and you could feed it buttons, and then my personal fave was that crazy P-I-M-P running around from MOE.

Rock on mascots!!!

edit: i loooved the arctic warriors' monkey crawl too!!

Re: coolest mascot
 

There are many awesome mascots out in the World, but I have to say our mascot (which did not com to nationals) was the coolest. Where else would you find a penguin in a toga besides at a FIRST competition? Anyway, It's awesome. Check our website for an illistration.

Re: coolest mascot
 

id have to say.. the PINK one was pretty cool.. there were a few others but i forgot their numbers.. i liked ours (of course) as well.. he was well spirited and almost every one of our rounds he managed to get on the playing field and go all out and introduce the teams and do crazy stuff.. the VCU regional has been famous for our mascot as well, we usually have little kids (wont mention who..lol) following him and stuff...

I liked this mascot from UTC (I think John liked him too :D )

Re: coolest mascot
 

What did u guys think of the Cactus that looked like a Pickel? Or our Cobra that looked like a trout?

Re: coolest mascot
 

The big red bird was once again there with team 811 this year....(its a cradinal fyi ;-))

as for the skin tight blue tick outfit.. one has to be quite comfortable with one's self to hop into that suit...

Re: coolest mascot
 

Yes. I saw someone wearing the spandex Tick suit.........that is probably the only mascot suit I wouldn't wear! :P

the kilt wearing dog from UTC

the las gurrialla!

Re: coolest mascot
 

I would have to disagree with everyone that has posted so far, and officially cast my vote to THE mascot of the year, Team 469's Guerrilla!! he was by far the most entertaining and exciting mascot that i witnessed at Nationals this year. From backflips, to windmills, this mascot could do it all, from his nonchallant gorrilla swagger, to his chest thumping roars, there was no other that could compare. The man behind the mask of team 469's Mascot deserves the honor of COOlest Mascot.

Re: coolest mascot
 

oh come on! everybody's doing it!!!

Re: coolest mascot
 

i was looking through this post in disbelief that they hadnt gotten any credit...just as much as the suit matters so does the person inside and that guy was insane (in a good way)

Re: coolest mascot
 

OF COURSE, team 45's mascot was the coolest...well maybe I am only saying this because I was the mascot! =)

Re: coolest mascot
 

They were awesome. Not just the devil duckies and the creative adopt a duckie, it was their entire presentation and spirit. I loved them!

Re: coolest mascot
 

I liked the Devil because you could shove things in its mouth


Melissa

Re: coolest mascot
 

Yes, they did. I had the pleasure of sharing the super 8 with this team (thanks for the photoshop lesson!) and was able to confirm that the man in the cardnal suit was the same one who splatterd his own blood on the "Band Saw Safty" poster.

Re: coolest mascot
 

So you were the one getting the beat down after the competition by the stress balls out side the GWCC?? LMAO!!

I have a pic and will post it soon.

The Cucumber mascot was interesting.. But, apparently it was supposed to be a Cactus??? I don't know.. Looked like a Cucumber to me.

Re: coolest mascot
 

Yep... I agree. Mike is a cool guy and quite a sport for bearing with many jerks who were out to beat on him. Once, he got slammed by 5 kids at the same time and just took it. They wanted to pull off his cat head, or something like that. That wasn't cool.

Good job, Sholty.

Re: coolest mascot
 

We brought our school's mascot, the blazer, but we want to make a wrench-man mascot. There arent many other dedicated-robot team mascots. i saw a lot of mascots that seem to be school's mascots, but not robot mascots.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&action=single&picid=7716&direction =DESC&sort=date&perrow=5&trows=10&quiet=Verbose

So we are looking into making a costume in the shape of our symbol. Other than finding team members/parents that like to make these sorts of things, any suggestions on how you get a mascot costume?

Re: coolest mascot
 

the guy in our suit is pretty insane (in the good way). i really liked our 469 gorilla mascot (hes stone pimp) and the huge robot macot (i forget which team).

Re: coolest mascot
 

I really like the kilt wearing dog at UTC... and the devil... and the techno cat, and the lion. i also adore the cardinal from 811! Plus the big pink mascot doing the tick dance is quite a sight to see!

and of course i love our own mascot! WOOHOO for Johnny!!!!! :yikes:

PS- the monkey crawl was so COOL! but insanely creepy!

Re: coolest mascot
 

oh!!! i was a mascot!!! i was a firebird!!! it was bon diggity!!! i also liked the metal moose's costume, it was neat. there should be some kind of mascot association, that would be cool :D

Re: coolest mascot
 

The team that has the Ace's High mascot is my favorite. I always thought that was team 11 but I remimber they throttled us at nationals and I thought hey they aren't team 11 they are 1-- something.

Re: coolest mascot
 

mascots.mascots are cool. i like mascots.
i salute all of you who are mascots or are just spirit people
even if all you do is dance in the stands, then you're still a mascot.
even though the suits do add a certain level of spirit.

anyway, being the MOE green guy that i am :D , i salute all teams that are green, bright green that is

and red(you know who you are)

best mascot though, well, i didn't get to see too many, but of course i love our's(who would of guessed) the MOE pimp, go Burke
and the giant lizard was good.

and for all you unspirited people, SHUN :mad:

Re: coolest mascot
 

You are thinking of team 176...
