Re: Interesting team names

Our team nickname is Site 3 Engineering, or S3E.

When the team started and people were trying to come up with names, our arm operator threw out the name Side 3, which is a reference to the Gundam anime. This is how www.gundamofficial.com defines Side 3 in its glossary:

"A cluster of space colonies, also called "Munzo," which is located at the stable region in Earth orbit known as Lagrange point 2. In U.C. 0058 Side 3 becomes the independent Republic of Zeon, and subsequently the Principality of Zeon, though the Republic is re-established at the end of the One Year War."

We changed "Side" to "Site" and tacked on "Engineering" to make it more robotics related.

I really like our name. Some people think it's kinda strange, but nobody has been able to come up with a better one that the whole team agrees with, so it's S3E for good.
