Team Names – How?

[JC Denton]

Well, back to the days when we were the only team from Colorado, our team name was Colorado Robotics, but last year 2 rookie teams, one form Denver and one from Colorado Spring participated in the same regional as we were, and the Denver team registered as Colorado Robotics, so we changed our team name to Alpine Robotics, which I think we will stick with for a while.

As for our bot, the name changes every year, but last year we have officially come to a general consensus to name our robot CAM the RAMBot, because we want to draw our potential sponsor, Colorado State university, into supporting us financially as well. CAM stands for Colorado Academy of Mines, which is the old name for CSU and the Rams is their mascot. So far, they haven't promise anything yet, but they do allow us to work in a lab located in the engineering building, which is quite nice... However, we were surprised how many teams were named RAMBot as well, so we might change it to CAMBot this year.
