Team Mottos

Team Motto: "Building the Foundations of Tomorrow with the Minds of Young People"

[Joe Troy]

The motto for Team 357, Royal Assault is "Dare Mighty Things". The motto comes from an inspirational speech given by President Theodore Roosevelt.

" Far better is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." ~ Teddy Roosevelt

The motto represents the team's philosophy both on and off the field.

Team name: theory6 (Team Hansen Experience of Robotic Youth)
Our motto: "The end is just the beginning..."

[Julia Magoolia]

At first, we had the motto "It's a robot thing" Throughout the year, while working on Chairman's Award, we thought really hard about it and added to small words. "It's not just a robot thing" This reflects the outreach that our team does, and our everyday attitude- FIRST Isn't just about the robots, it's about Gracious Professionalism, co-opetition, and outreach also.

As of 2004, 1293's motto was "We're on a mission from Bob."

(Bob, for the record, is our overbuilt, window motor, electrical-tape numbered robot from last year. Which we finally pried the plexiglass top from tonight. It's only been...seven months.)

There have been rumblings of changing that, but if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on the above.

And the "Welcome to the Garden" saying, which I thought was very appropriate to a team who's main mascot and theme is a flower.

Let's hear it for co-ordination!

why not be funny about your team's motto while still "saying" what your team reflects??

[Stephen Kowski]

"improvise, adapt, overcome" Which is what we are always having to do.

how about "hurricanes- we may blow but we don't suck"

[dlavery]

Actually, one of my personal favorites is the motto of the Space Systems Lab at the University of Maryland. It is not a motto adopted by any FIRST teams (yet), but it is SO appropriate!

"Building the technology of tomorrow - sometime late tonight!"

Back in 1997 when we were starting our team, we selected "We Really Bite!" in reference to the bite of a Gila Monster.

Over the years we have evolved into, "If selected, we will do whatever you ask of us or leave parts of our robot on the floor trying!

I am not sure that the motto should become the team mission statement. Make the motto lively so that other teams will notice you. As a rookie, getting noticed is one of the most important parts of a competition.
