Originally we were the Crew, however when FIRST started giving out numbers, our team split into two. A team based in Scranton and a team based in Towanda. My team became SWATT which stood for the schools involved (Sayre, Wyalusing, Athens, Towanda, Troy). The folowing year, our mother team from Scranton split again to Tunkhannock. We were one and now we are three
That same year we became WATTNESS (Wyalusing, Athens, Towanda, Troy, NorthEast, and Sayre Schools). The next year we stayed as WATTNESS, however as it does now, it stands for Wavery Central (NY), Athens, Towanda, Troy, & NorthEast School Systems.
Our robot name came from the original team the first year. It was called Charminator after one of our sponsors. The next year when our team split to be based in Towanda, it became Chuck (because of the Chuck Taylor All-Star Shoes!). Every year we have added a little something to give individuality to each robot.
