What's in a Name?

roboticsguy, the only thing you should be sorry for is that I can't quote what you and kevyn both said without making this post a page long.

As not only a member of the team, but also the student leader, I believe in keeping the name. But to me, the main importance in keeping the name is the marketing. Everyone already knows the name and we just keep adding to it. The main issue is that at school, there are always those kids who will make fun of the name. I don't believe that's any reason for changing the name. My philosophy is to ignore it.

Once we step to the level of changing the theme, never in my life will I allow it to change. For the past four years, our mentors have dedicated thousands of hours in showing us the unique skills. More on topic of the theme, our engineering methods that we use flow right into the theme of our team. And more importantly, the man that brought these techniques into our team spent the last of his years making sure that he passed on his knowledge and experience. Not only was our theme based off of our engineering style, but it was also in honor of our mentor.

To me, changing our theme is to dishonor our mentors who've worked with us for so long for something they believe in and more importantly, would be like us saying to the mentor who spent his last few good years with us, that his efforts were nice, but we are ready to move on.

That's why I believe we should keep our theme.

The name comes with the package. So, it I believe it should stay, too.
