Re: Should FRC Team name = HS athletic team name?
Our high school mascot is a tiger. From 2001 to 2006 we did not have a consistent name and changed our look every year. We had a tiger image on our shirts one year - I think it was 2002. In 2007 we became the Swartdogs. It was a name our students had wanted to use prior to that honoring our lead mentor Kenton Swartley who founded the team as Team 332 in 1999. Kenton said he would agree to the name if it were an acronym. Immediately one of our students said Students Working Around Robotics Technology. We've been the Swartdogs from then on. We are very proud of his 16 years of dedication and how this has all led to many FIRST teams in this area.
