Maximizing On Your Name

[Gene F]

Well we've played around with our number. If you take our name, Metal in Motion and shorten it to MIM, rotate it 90 degrees to the right and it almost looks like 343 written vertially. Purely an accident though. We have had more discussion about the fact that 343 is 7 cubed. We have had that name in the running for a robot name several times but never used it. The other interesting bit of trivia about our number is that the balls this year have a 7 inch diameter. Therefore a rectangular box to hold one would have a volume of 343 cubic inches. We would love to play a match some day with teams 7 and 49 as our alliance partners. (Team 1 would be a good alternate! Maybe next year there will be a team 2401)
