Re: Team member Nick Names
I'm just Palardy (my last name), as in "Palardy can fix it in code" or "Palardy is flashing the robot"
The greatest is "Frizzle" - His real name is Eric and he is an alumni (driver in 06), and he was known as "Frizzle" after driving several people to a building party at another teams shop, and they dubbed his van "the magic school bus" which led him to be "Ms. Frizzle", but then he became just plain "Frizzle" and his girlfriend is "Miss Frizzle".

One member of the Pit Crew is designated "battery babe" - Eduardo is battery babe this year. We call him that every time we ask about a changed battery.
An alumni (Carolyn, '03) is known as "Mom" because she is often the one to ask us to clean up (and compares us to the 4 year olds she teaches at daycare).
