Perhaps we can convince them to be M.A.P.S. instead.


What do you guys think?

I think that your team will never lose their 'popularity' by someone else having 'your' name, but I do think that you'd probably be looked upon more favorably if you opened up your resources, talent, and engineering skills to this team instead of trying reinstate that you have the 'hottest' girls. There's no need to try to convince them to get another name - they're probably happy with the one they have.

It's a name. Just because Amanda M. from Team 60 has the same initials as myself means I'm going to come onto Chief Delphi and make sure everyone knows 'I'm older, so I'm the best Amanda M.!' - sounds like a ridiculous concept, doesn't it?

Soon, there will be over 1000 teams that are trying to individualize themselves from others. Here's a tip - build a great robot, and nobody will ever forget your name.

okay april making that comment with s.p.a.m. girls and maps was just a joke-- plz ppl don't take offense to that-- april and i nor any other member of team 180 s.p.a.m. is tryign to bash anyone or mean any disrespect to anyone or any team especially this other team--

Sorry once more if we offened anyone-- TEAM S.P.A.M. is a graciously profesional team-- and if we have offened you plz we are sry, and hope u forgive us.

oh and just to let u know we do already have great bots that's why ppl know us and once again ppl just know us by our name not number that's why it's weird for us--we try to get ppl to associate S.P.A.M. with 180-- doesn't seem to work that's why the name is important to us-- and yes it's just a name but it means so much to us-- and once again no offense to anybody

thanks,
tiff

hehe, you guys think thats a big coincidence, try having about 4 or 5 teams all named swat, swatt, or variations thereof =D

Which was the first team to be the "Knights"?
We've got Knights, Cyber Knights, Delphi Knights, Black Knights... the list goes on.

How about Techno(fill in the blank)?
How many "Cat" teams do we have?

Plenty of each. Plenty of repeats.


This whole SPAM thing...
I'm thinking... it's not a big deal.

How many "Division By Zero"?

here is go...

i have known S.P.A.M. for 3 years (the time i have been in FIRST)... they are a great team.. with great robots each year.. with great spirits... their name S.P.A.M. will not be ERASED from FIRST history even if another team has the name... just like jessica pointed out that there are several teams which has the same name... Amanda pointed out that there is somebody from team 60 who has the same initial as hers... "two person can have the same name... but the things they do will make others remember them"... just like that S.P.A.M will be remembered in FIRST all the time... personally i really like the team S.P.A.M. they are a great team... and will be always be THE S.P.A.M...
the other team SPAM will be grown as the time passes by and will be known as another SPAM (if they dont change their name)... or SPAM jr. (the name of the thread)...

S.... P.... A..... M...... SPAM!!! SPAM!!! SPAM!!!
