Re: Team Names – How?

The team name "team Element" , was an idea by one of team members.

originally, it was supposed to kind of give our team the theme of the "four elements" (fire,water etc.) since we're team 4.

but after a little while, we realized that the four elements sisnt really have anything to do with robotics/FIRST so we looked through different options.

Wendy Wooten then gave us the idea of the "elements of FIRST robotics"
which later led us to turn ELEMENT into an acronym to represent what we as a team thought FIRST is all about.

from this, element stood for:

E-ngineering
L-eadership
E-ducation
M-entoring
E-ntrepreneurship
N-etworking
T-eamwork


as for our Phoenix mascot, we chose it to represent "rising from the ashes/ a new beginning, etc."
