Greg Mills will become famous soon enough
The Baxter Bomb Squad name comes from the Mountain Home High School mascot - Bombers. The school was built just after WWII when it was a good thing to be a "bomber". It is the only school in the US with that team name.

We have thought about if our name is still appropriate and have even talked to FIRST about it. Their thoughts were that a Bomb Squad is made up of "good guys" so it's ok.

We have always been very sensitive about our shirts and this year our team decided not to wear them outside the FIRST venues.
