We're Brophy College Preparatory, an all boys school in Phoenix, AZ. We used to be hooked up with Xavier College Prep (all girls school right next door) but this year we each have our own respective team. Our team chose The Dukes as our name since it has all of the masculine undertones (i.e. status, competetiveness, toughness) that we're going for. At this point, we're not sure if we'll keep it from year to year or if we'll create a new "brand" each year.
Our robot is named "Uncomfortable Hunk of Metal" (UHOM). We chose the name last year while we were on our way home from the SoCal Regional in a van. Some students were watching Pulp Fiction and we all agreed that UHOM was a sweet name for the robot after the infamous Christopher Walken (Captain Koons) scene. The name stuck and we think it'll probably last from year to year.
