Re: Team Names, Marketing, and Funny Name Stuff

In our ten hear history our team has held three slightly different team names and two numbers. Our first two years, 2000 & 2001, we were Team 465 P-CEP Lighting. In 2002 we became Team 862 from then till 2004 Lightning Robotics & Team Lightning were used interchangeably, we spent 2003 with a pirate theme, and changed our team colors to Safety Green & Blue in 2004, instead of our traditional Orange. In 2005 we standardized our name to Lightning Robotics, adopted orange & blue as our team colors, and got a mascot, Gigawatt (pronounced like in Back to the Future). Our L Logo has been in use since 2002.

We don't use themes anymore, nor do we allow multiple uses of a robot name. Both of these rules came about after our 2003 season.

Since then we have adopted a Style Guide which covers everything from shirt designs, to robot names, to cheering.


My advice standardize at least your name, & team colors.
