two years before i officially joined team
233 (which i'm pleased to see has been mentioned by many people on this thread
) the first teams i ever noticed were
S.P.A.M with the Superman Logo (what a coincidence... that day i ended up wearing a Superman shirt instead of a pink shirt or something) and our sister team,
Combat with their camo pants and yellow shirts (the next year i wore a camo shirt.. lol figures. i learned to wear pink to competitions from then on) also, who can miss the
Children of the Swamp in their bright green? or the
Flashbacks in their tyedie? besides those teams, and my own
, i'd have to say our alliance partners in NYC last year; the
British team and the
purple Wizard team, with their capes and all.
(sorry for complete lack of team numbers or even proper names; i dont really remember teams by their number, but rather what color they are/what the look like).
MOE of course is hard to miss, and
Buzz was hard to miss at nationals too. and theres team 79
the navigators (i'll always think of them as Krunch though). who could forget the guys dressed up with coconut bras, and balloons in their shirts, their bright blue color scheme, and the multicolored zipties found in many teammembers' hair? there are tons of other teams who are memorable for different reason, but those are just the first ones who come to mind.
for those of you who dont show up on this list, dont be discouraged! just like previously mentioned, teams are also very well remembered for their robots... although it is true that a team may be remembered more for screaming "good morning" to every single team in the pits every single morning, or for running around and shooting people with air cannons. thats just life.
this year i hope to see many more teams with creative ways to be identifyable... not just veteran teams, but rookies as well!
