In 2005, the season as the ChubbBots, there was a lack of coherent image/theme for the team overall, so people wanted to change that. We talked about things like the importance of branding and team decisions, ran a vote to come up with a new team name. UberBots was decided on. After that, we voted to decide on a theme that would be used throughout our existence. The theme that won was actually "Greek/Greek gods", but one member suggested the connection between "uber" and "super", and we revoted on a superman theme. It won, and soon thereafter we voted on a motto and started working on the logo we still have today. SPAM was definitely superman-themed before us, but we had little awareness outside of our own region at the time. Our first year as the UberBots was also our first year attending the Championships, and boy did we get confused everytime we spotted members of SPAM far away and then realized they belonged to another team as we approached.
