A new team needs to find their own signature style. For 1346 it was only in our second year that we fell in love with plywood, and it wasn't until 2008 that we added hockey sticks to the mix. A good style, like a good nickname, has to be discovered, or earned, rather than assigned I think.
Besides, taking hockey sticks to Calgary isn't nearly as unique as taking them to Seattle or Portland... hmm... maybe they could take some fresh Tulips and Daffodils from the garden and have a little bouquet on the robot. They won't be seeing many flowers in Calgary at that time of year!
And Duncan... please feel free to track me down at any of our VEX events. I'm usually at the tech inspection booth in the morning, then pretending to be useful in the afternoons. We've got one this weekend (Feb 21) at Alpha Secondary, in Burnaby and the PNW Championships at BCIT on March 7. It ain't quite FRC, of course, but there are robot teams in the city and on the North Shore that would love to have some experienced mentorship.
