Thumbs up Re: Robot names and Team mottos

Our team motto as of last year: "Building Engineers One Robot at a Time"
Befor that it was "Soaring With The Eagles"

Our robot names usually have something to do with the robot's characteristics.
2010: Rex (a student named it "Kicka$$asauras Rex", like a dinasaur)
2011: Jack (robust design, Quality award winner, annoucer said "It could double as a floor jack for Dean Kamen's Hummer", we named it after comp.)
2012: Arty (as in artillery: shooting balls at great distances)
2013: Sherman (as in sherman tank, it was 120.00 lbs even at weigh in)


Other fun facts:

Our team name is "Bonny Eagle Robotics Team"
(associated with Bonny Eagle High School, Standish Maine)
Nicknames we use "BERT" or "BERT 133" or "B.E.R.T."

Our logo was created by the students in 2010-2011, a Scottish eagle/coat of arms. We've adjusted the logo a little every year since for the tshirts and advertising, but keeping the over all concept for continuity.
