Team 25 Raider Robotix, North Brunswick Township Highschool is home of the Raiders, and We chose Robotix instead of Robotics because it looks cooler on paper to my knowledge we are the only robotix team

Well we started with WicKED (Whiz Kids Engineering Design) but decided that wouldn't appeal so well to parents and sponsors. So then we came up with NERDS (New Energy Radical Design Systems) but the kids didn't want to wear nerd shirts at school (I haven't yet figured out why) so we finally settled with ACE (Albion Competitive Engineering).

Now we just need a number to go with it.

The year the team started the students voted on "Augustus Roboticus Maximus" for the name of the robot. This was dutifuly stenciled on the side of the robot. During the first comp the robot was WAY over weight. After a drastic weight reduction just about the only letering left that was contiguous was "GUS". GUS remains our name today.
228 Team GUS

ps: Augusts Roboticus Maximus was REAL dificult to fit into a chant!!!!!!!!!
pps: Team 1071 MAX was a spin off from us and they chose the name to show there allegiance to GUS (from Maximus).

The Indiana Prank Monkeys:

In an episode of the Simpsons, Homer becomes Mr. Burns' prank monkey, and must perform pranks on residents of Springfield for Mr. Burns' enjoyment. Why this is our team name? Um... because Simpsons is an awesome show. And... yeah. The kids voted on it, it's their team. Our mascot (the ugly monkey seen at http://www.team1020.org/ ) was made for us by our website sponsor, Spinweb.

...but I think my personal favorite may always be the Nerds of the North. It cracks me up every time.

I like the names S.P.A.M., comBBATT, and Children of the Swamp. All of which I encountered at the Florida Regional.

If you cant put that together with words that start with the letters e and d, dont bother. And we decided we liked the name, so we changed the letters to stand for Epsilon Delta and adopted the greek symbols for them for our logo.

Wow. I have never laughed so hard in my life. That's awesome.

Our robot is named after our teacher-advisor (Mr. Jeyanathan) and our mentor (Mr. Walker). The robot name? J-WALKER

Thats nice at least we aren't the only team with an advisor named robot. Anyway our team name is L.E.R.N. League of Extraordinary Robot Nerds. Yeah it was my brother's idea. Unfortunately spelling is not one of his expertises.
I have to say though whenever I see John V Neun's name I always think of the Nutrons.

GO TOM !!!! HAHA !!! you made me feel better about my self for jsut that split second

[shyra1353]

here is the story behind The Gizmos ... we were originally The Mafia and our bots name was The Botfather .. well when I went to my school to ask for a loan for the registration fee, my vice principal said that we could not call ourselves The Mafia and then she decided on The Gizmos in about 2 minutes. I was not going to argue because she was making the decision to give us almost $7000 CDN.

its changing next year though ....

but during the finals at the canadian regional, i thought of THE best name that we should have used this year .. but we cannot next year ... we should have called ourselves THE ROOKIES! ... so if you are going to be on a rookie team next year and need a name .. feel free to use it ...!!

This year are robot is named OSCAR in tribute to the favorite sesame street puppet and because we use a trash can lid to manipulate the 2x ball. The acronym come out to (Our Super Cool Awesome Robot), that was after thinking about naming it (Our's Stair Climbs And Rattles) because of some of the difficulting we were having when we were first stair climbing.

Name Panther Robotics come from our school.
