Actually our team name has a pretty good story behind it. Two years ago our team was formed when a number of students were dropped from the official school team under still questionable reason. However, the students refused to give up on FIRST and with the help of one parent in particular they found a sponsor and college to promote their team. As a result the name "Las Guerrillas" came naturally. Up until this year the two teams enjoyed comepeting against one another, but as the number of students on the official school team dwindled those on 469 continued to grow and the school team met a demise over summer of 2001. The truly ironic part is that just within the last couple of weeks our team has become the new official school team. I used to be on the former official school team, and I swear there was more drama between the two teams than in a soap opera but things worked out in the long run. Oh by the way last years FIRST bot was named Cornelius after the mean ape in "Planet of the Apes" and we named our 2001 CDI bot Kurchec after the biggest gorilla in "Tarzan" I think it was.
