Re: Team Names, Marketing, and Funny Name Stuff

Team 811 is the Cardinals, named after the school's mascot. This past year we had a whole team discussion on whether we should change the name to something more "robotic" (RoboCards, TechnoCards, etc.). After going round and round, it was decided to leave it Cardinals, since A) that's what we are known by, B) it brands us with our school, and C) there are already names similar to all of the other suggestions.
(A nearby team changed their name a few years back, and it took them ages before they got the automatic recognition that they had.)
