Re: Team Names How?
Well, our team name has always been Panther Robotics, which is our school mascot. But our robot name for this year took a bit of time during the building. We decided that a ball shape would be a good device that can hold up tetras. We at first thought of using one of those ball-things used in toilets (sorry, I don't know what that is called), but we figured that would not be great for a nickname. So we had a small plastic bowling ball for a mini-bowling set that we thought could work. The holes in it looked like eyes and a nose. We also added two metal pieces sticking out the sides to keep the tetra more stable, which looked like arms. Remembering the lovable and funny clay-mation of Mr.Bill, we painted the the head to look like Mr.Bill. So, we got the name of our robot to be Mr.Bill.

In the 2010 game, FRC and FVC robots will be working together to cut Dave's hair, mow his lawn, and serve him dinner. ;) - Rich Kressly [more]
