Help Naming our Off-Season Event!!

Hello my name is Fiona Hanlon and I am a mentor of CRUSH 1011 from Tucson, AZ. Every year for the past 7 years we have been holding an off-season event in which we have called Robolympics. This year, we are using a official FIRST field and we are considering changing the name.

We think Robolympics sounds unprofessional and there is a possibility for improvement. We also believe that the marketing opportunities of this name are limited.

Some possible names (not very good ones) are: Southern Arizona Robotics Festival, Tucson Robotics Competition, Robots in T Town, Robotic Fun Under the Sun, and Tucson Robot Rumble

Please comment with your suggestions!

Re: Help Naming our Off-Season Event!!

The event will be different then in previous years.
Since we are actually getting a FIRST field, there will be a registration fee(to help cover costs), and we will be playing a game very similar to Ultimate Ascent!

Thanks for all the great ideas so far, keep them coming!

Yes but you can't have offseason's without teams, and not one team will show up if you promise this.
