Yeah Dan, Team Chimera was just a random idea from someone, but it really fit our robot well as we tried to do everything last year. This year you need to get them to do something about flying insects, because Tech is the Yellow Jackets and Roswell is the Hornets.
This year the team I"ve started is titled Lotus Robotics, but we had fun trying to think up names. There were a few acronyms people were coming up with, but none of them fit well, so I discouraged them. There were a few pirate ideas thrown around (alot of people wanted to find out what "pirate" is in russian and have that as our name) and a few just stupid names, but a few days earlier when I was conceiving ideas, I come up with the name Lotus Robotics. It"s clean and simple, but it has enough mystical implications that I thought it would fit well. When we finally got a list together to vote on, I added Lotus Robotics to the list and explained it by saying "it's a cool name" and no one really seemed interested, but when it came to the vote, it won nearly unanimously. It"s rather unique too, as I can"t think of any other teams with even a vaguely eastern theme, so look out for revolutionary marketing techniques at the Peachtree Regional.
