"The robot shall have no painted parts"
S.P.A.M's first robot became known as "Kenny". The actual name remains unspoken to this day. Painted in S.P.A.M colors, it was lucky to move in a match. I understand many motors and speed controllers gave up their magic smoke, during competition. In the darkest corners of S.P.A.M lore, it is said that "Kenny" was dismembered at the end of our first season, and all evidence of it's existence scattered. To avoid the "Kenny" curse, no painted parts have, since, been allowed on a S.P.A.M robot.

Lately, as M.A.R.S. does, we also include an Exploding Bacon pig on our 'bot for good luck.
