Re: Team Names – How?
Well, when we first started, we couldn't think of a name, so I came up with the team name "The Bee Bots". (our school mascot is a yellow jacket) After a year of my students making fun of me and telling me that it was not working, our athletic director made a suggestion to go with Full Metal Jackets. I loved it, it didn't sound so whimpy to the kids, so we changed! Andy Baker still loves to tease me about the "Bee Bots"!! I will never live that one down.

As far as how we name our robot, we allow the team captain from the previous year to name the robot. (the captain this year will name next year's robot) We have had co-captains the past two years, so one named the robot last year and the other did this year. They get suggestions from the rest of the team, but they go with the name they like the most. It's been fun.
