Re: Team Names – How?

Well, our team name has always been Panther Robotics, which is our school mascot. But our robot name for this year took a bit of time during the building. We decided that a ball shape would be a good device that can hold up tetras. We at first thought of using one of those ball-things used in toilets (sorry, I don't know what that is called), but we figured that would not be great for a nickname. So we had a small plastic bowling ball for a mini-bowling set that we thought could work. The holes in it looked like eyes and a nose. We also added two metal pieces sticking out the sides to keep the tetra more stable, which looked like arms. Remembering the lovable and funny clay-mation of Mr.Bill, we painted the the head to look like Mr.Bill. So, we got the name of our robot to be Mr.Bill.
