Well now time to shed the light. By the way, Tom Nadar did not say the team name of either match (as he was elsewhere), but I do write out the name broken up by words for every game announcer and walk them through how to say it correctly,

So prior to the 2011 season, the team had grown unhappy with the team name and felt a change was in order. The original plan was for some kind of acronym name like HoT or RUSH. So the process began with writing all kinds of words on the white board. When we couldn't decide where to go from there, we said, "let's just use them all and make one long name." I believe it's a total of 77 characters.

We did not think FIRST would allow such a long name when we submitted it, but they did and so we kept it. We actually really enjoy the name. We never shy away from the endless askings of how to say it. There have also been no regrets to the change.

We do though use the name "Extreme Eagles" when needed. It was actually used during the live MSC boardcast on DPTV.

Sometimes it's fun to be different. If there are any more questions about the name or robot, please feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to answer them.
