My senior year in High School (2001), a friend brought a superman outfit to nationals as a mascot for SPAM. A friend and I traded off wearing it, because it gets really hot after a while. It was alot of fun though, and might help you get a spirit award. We also had SPAM capes made for everyone.
George already did a good job of explaining how SPAM came about, so I won't bother with that. However, I am now at Georgia Tech and we sponsor 2 teams.
Team 832 is Chimera, which is some mythical animal that is part Lion, Snake, and Goat, I think. Not a school mascot, but it works.
Team 1002 is the CircuitRunners. I don't think they even know where it came from. Maybe one of them will post and let you know.
That's my info, happy bot building everyone!
