Interesting team names

[RoteAugen]

Are there any team names out there with an interesting story to explain them?

for team 138, we chose Entropy as it described our 6 week build period quite accurately...

that is to say that the team gradually came to a state of complete and utter chaos in trying to complete the robot on time!

interested in hearing from others-

I alway liked the chaos teams (chaos, perpetual chaos, neverending chaos, there are probably more, ..chaos to the infinity plus one and so on - j/k...) I'd like to hear how those team names came about.

Our team is named the Techno Ticks because we are from Lyme and Old Lyme CT, where the first cases of Lyme Disease were documented.

Our Slogan is It's in Your Blood!!!

Didn't the name come from someone random like a puppeteer or something?

I remember meeting a woman at the CT Mfg fair or something back when I was on 237 who was a puppeteer that said she was the one who came up with the technoticks name....

Hmm... Rice? It's an acronym of sorts. Our advisor came up with it. Respect, Impulse-control, Cooperation and Equity.

Our team name (the Monsters) came from a play on the Loch Ness Monster story (or Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster). Our team consists of the schools from Walled Lake, Michigan, and since we had more than one school, it was difficult to use the school mascots. Therefore, we cooked up a story about the "Walled Lake Monster", and our team became the Walled Lake Monsters.

Ticks, Lyme Disease, and we were in the pits next to you at UTC!

Just kidding!

In case anyone is wondering about Sie-h2o-Bots.

Sie, short for the Siemen Company. World wide manufacturer of telecomunications equipment based in our hometown and our largest corporate supporter.

h2o, chemical reference of water. Our team is based in Watertown, CT 06795.

Bots, short for robot, basically self explainatory (we are a robot team).

Our nick-name is T.R.I.B.E.---Taking Robotics Into Bold Experiences. This is the third nick-name for our team. Some of you veterans may remember us as the Black Magic team and Sunseekers (our rookie '99 and sophmore '00 years).

C.H.A.O.S. 131 originally came when the team was sponsored by OSRAM Sylvania and stood for Central High and OSRAM Sylvania...since we moved onto a different sponsor 2 years ago its been modified to Central High and Our Supporters.

I think it's interesting that two towns (Amherst and Manchester) next to each other selected the chaos theory to name their teams after!

greetings from about 5 miles away lol

Heres one team # and name that no one has seen or herd from since 2000. The combination that formed the one team # / name had split up to 2 seperate teams this way it would be a bit more competitive.

Rookie Year 2000
Team 371
C.M.O.S. = Curtis - Mckee - Omega - Supremes

The origins of "The PINK Team"

Everybody asks us this question, "Why is your team pink?" Well this is why (according to some information I have gathered from team mentors and alumni from Team #233).

When our team first started, there was going to be a meeting held to see what our team image was going to be; basically all spirit ideas would be discussed. The day the meeting was held, only three girls showed up. Knowing Mrs. Passmore (our team's head coordinator, also known as Mrs. P) said that since they were the only ones to show up, everybody else on the team did not care what would be decided as our team image. So the girls instinctively thought it would be funny to have a pink team. And so it was decided that the team would be entirely pink, even down to the robot. After the meeting, the girls graciously told the rest of the boys on the team that it was decided that the team image would be pink, and nothing but pink. Enraged, they told Mrs. P that this was "not cool" (I needed to censor what they actually said). But she told them that if they wanted there voice to be heard for a vote on the team image, they should have been to the meeting.

And so the boys were forced to wear the pink shirts to competition, or they would get kicked off the team... no one left the team. After our rookie year, we got a few remarks from other teams. But eventually our reputation grew and we made this prank work to our advantage (as a team).

I heard of a team last year (in Chicago) called the FookNauts. Yeah, that's pretty funny, and they recieved our "Best Name" award last year.
