So why did you guys choose him as your theme? I never did hear the story on that.

I never really understood the name. Like why pick that? You all did well last year. We'll be at VCU this year for a rematch game.

Oh yes! We're totally ready for VCU this year. We just got back from DC and worked out all of the little bugs, though Walken' is now retired, our new bot Fluffy is bigger and bader then ever! Hope we get a chance to play with you guys.

Well, the name was kind of an inside joke between all of the team members. One day before kick offs we were all sitting in our ' Mother Ship' or the Robotics room and two of the members came in with peices of paper with Walken's head taped to their faces. The whole team got a kick out of it we started to make jokes, and it farther escalated into the nameing of the bot, the painted picture, posters, bottons, shirts, everything that we had last year. We even wrote a letter to Walken himself, we sent everything to him, from a team shirt, to this picture.

Yes, we did get a reply back from him. A friend of his agent stopped us in Atlanta. That's how the name started.

When we totally crush at VCU we will. xD
We can't really attend, due to the two year thing, but we are planing on winning our way in.

Hey Guys, I'm new here on Delphi! I am a volunteer at VCU. You were great last year. Best of luck this year!


Could someone please help me figure out how I can get the word out about the earrings I make. This year I am selling them to try and raise money so I can go to Atlanta again for the 5th year to volunteer.

Thanks for the help.
