Last year was our rookie year so we decided to keep our name fairly simple. Every team in our school has the name "The Friars". So we decided to modify it to "Steel Friars" to put emphasis on the robot itself. Since our school is a catholic school (1st catholic school on long island to compete I believe) and many of the teaches and staff are Fransiscan Brothers, we came up with the name Robo-Bro for the bot itself. Although we constantly used the nickname of "Boomer" because we figured it would explode the first time we powered up at the competition.
This year we kept the team name but decided to change our robot name. We took "Boomer" our nickname from last year and made it the real name. And with all these new motors and the importance of powerful drive trains, it seems all the more fitting.
