Team 3785 Gila Monster Introduction Thread

[Jessica Boucher]

Welcome, 3785! I think it's totally acceptable to use the name ONLY if they do the Gila Monster dance. It was awesome and intimidating all at the same time.

Seriously, though, it's silly to think there's ownership of a name, especially from a defunct team. There's multiple Blue Lightnings out there. Also multiple CHAOSes. The last time I saw a certain visiting mentor we were trying to convince him to call his new robot Chief Delphi, because, well, no one is using that name right now.

Although somewhat important, there are really more important aspects to a team than their name. Try to keep it unique in your general geographic area and time period and you should be ok.

TL;DR: Gila! Gila! Gilagilagila! Best of luck to you in 2012.
