Team 1261 is based out of Peachtree Ridge High School, home of the Lions. Naturally we adapted the Robo-lions as a name, and the Lion as a mascot.
Our logo is derived from the school logo. It shows a lion with long, flowing hair.
Seen here. Back in 2007, a particularly artistic member took the long flowing hair and turned it into circuitry that slowly fades away.
We've been using the fading away circuitry every since.
