Why not tell our story.....

Our team name is Gompei and the H.E.R.D. .... Gompei is the unofficial mascot of the school (technically, we're the "Engineers")... this is how the story goes..

"On a dark and stormy night in 1898, Gompei, the beloved goat mascot of WPI, was brutally beheaded. His head was bronzed in an act of immortalization; and it is there that his spirit has dwelled. Now, 104 years later, Gompei's spirit resides within the WPI/Mass Academy FIRST robot!

All goats go to heaven...
Except for Gompei. "

We call our robot Gompei usually.. but last year (and this year) we've added a twist my morphing him with another animal based on our robot abilities..

Last year it was the "Spidergoat" for our bar crawling legs.... this year it is the _____goat for our very cool ______ that you will all see at competition!!
