Re: Robot names and Team mottos

Our robot's name is always a variation of SAM. It's a dual acronym for:

- Small And Mighty (our team motto), and
- Salem's Awesome Machine (we're located in Salem County, NJ)

Our motto is based on the fact that being located in a more rural area, we tend to have a smaller number of students than many. Nevertheless, we remain a competitive, award-winning team.

Usually the robot name is also based off of robot functionality. Here's our current and some of our past robot names:

2013 - Sure Shot SAM - Because when we shoot, we intend to score
2012 - Sam Swoosh - Our favorite sound that year
2011 - Sam Shark - Our pickup mechanism this year snapped up the tube quickly, and made some of the team members think of a shark.
