This from Dillon's dad - team founder/mentor/coach/teacher, etc. Yeah, well..... we actually only got inot FIRST three years ago, and only then at the very last moment. first team meeting - pick a name! Later we would learn what all this other robot stuff was about... very naive, didn't do any research about other team names, dind;t even know where to look (didn;t even know Chief Delphi existed, etc.) When a student suggested "juggernauts" because it is an unstoppable force (derived, by the way from the hindu god jagganatha (sp.) who creates all kind of unstoppable energies in people), I corrected said student to point out that the premise of THE unstoppable force means there can only be one, ad thus Juggernaut (not juggernauts) was born. imagine my surprise and semi-embarassment to find that, on our first trip to nationals last year, the "juggernauts" ... so close in name... already existed AND they are team 0001!
No intention to bogart a name folks, but if we had intended such, team 0001 would be a great one to do it from! Unfortunately, but fortunately for our only 5 year old inner city charter school of only 400 students, our team is well supported in school and the entire studetn body has now voted to have JUGGERNAUT be our official school mascot for ALL sports! So... we may become the Firewire if the (IEEE) 1394 thing reonsates, but we'll also always be - with respect and regard for 0001 - the Juggernaut.
