Well, the name was kind of an inside joke between all of the team members. One day before kick offs we were all sitting in our ' Mother Ship' or the Robotics room and two of the members came in with peices of paper with Walken's head taped to their faces. The whole team got a kick out of it we started to make jokes, and it farther escalated into the nameing of the bot, the painted picture, posters, bottons, shirts, everything that we had last year. We even wrote a letter to Walken himself, we sent everything to him, from a team shirt, to this picture.
Yes, we did get a reply back from him. A friend of his agent stopped us in Atlanta. That's how the name started.
