Re: Team Names – How?
MORT (Mount Olive Robotics Team) is a bit self explanatory once you know what it stands for.
We don't often name our robots. They usually only get names in the post season, and usually they're just descriptors to tell them apart (the one w/ the wings, etc) Last year's robot's arm was known as the Saldefector, because it was an end-effector supervised by a mentor named Sal.
This year's robot was the first with a name. Just about everyone on the team is a Homestar Runner fan, and when someone proposed we call the 'bot the Rad Rad Robotank, it stuck. The original shooter had the RRRT stenciled on. 'Twas badass.
