Re: Team Names – How?
Our team name "The Dirty Birds" is derived from the early days of our team (early-mid 90's). When we were first formed, the team consisted primarily of members of the football team. At that time, the football team had a bad reputation of playing very dirty, and since our school mascot is the blackbird, the football team earned the name "The Dirty Birds". This carried over to the robotics team and stuck. Despite the negative origin of the name, we are proud to be the Dirty Birds, and there are no longer negative connotations connected to the name. By the way, there was only one football player on our team this year (thats usually around max that choose to join).
