Bots, short for robot, basically self explainatory (we are a robot team).
Our nick-name is T.R.I.B.E.---Taking Robotics Into Bold Experiences. This is the third nick-name for our team. Some of you veterans may remember us as the Black Magic team and Sunseekers (our rookie '99 and sophmore '00 years).

Actually Jay, it's Siemon as in
The Siemon Company not to be confused with
Siemens, another leader in Telecommunications.
Also, Team 237 has named it's robot for the past so many years P.A.L. It has two meanings, Professionally Automated Landrover is what it semi- stands for, but also our main advisor's last name is Pallokat and everyone just calls him Pal for short. I guess the robot name is a dedication to him since he was one of the main people who started the team.
