Our rookie year we were called the M.I.N.T.s it stood for something like Mounties In New Technology. I am not sure if that was the exact acronym, I wasn't on the team yet. Anyway, we basically blew (our robot base was made out of steel). So the next year we felt the need for a new name. We choose firebirds since the pheonix rose from the ashes. So we rose from the ashes of our first year to be the firebirds team we are today. Not to mention it is a catchy name.
