Team member Nick Names

[gorrilla]

Our human player this year, his name is Daniel, but we call him Mombo..I dont really know why we do but it fits him, and everyone at his school calls him that...


And we have a running gag with one of our mentors, Dave, that he was the National GrabBag Champion 6 years in a row.
Its hilarious when he asks for some tool and we head to the toolbox, then we hear "I got it" as he pulls it out of no-where. I'm starting to think he hides the tools in his pockets just to play a joke on us.

Team 1918 has 2 people with nicknames.

1. Evan, last year's human player, is called Evan Almighty. He made a lot of good shots for us.

2. Felipe, a current student, is called Tapeworm because he eats so much and stays so skinny.

Ohh! I forgot our Matt when I posted the others! He was going to be our safety captain last year, but decided to be an idiot and break his hand while he punched his brother about a week and a half before we left for comp. So we decided to be sarcastic with him and everyone started calling him "Safety Boy"

[Alex Dinsmoor]

On our electronics team, we have 2 Alexs; one which is a mentor and one which is the student lead (me!). We are always working near each other since we are the real workhorses on our electronics team, so when someone needs our attention they normally just yell out "Alex Squared" to get our attention.

Another student on our team has gotten the nickname "Nice sweatshirt", because on numerous day of build we (myself and him) would both show up in the same AE hoodie. Now whenever we see each other I will usually say "Nice sweatshirt" even if he is wearing a t-shirt.

We've got a short skinny guy on our team that was completely obsessed with the trident this year, so we call him "Poseidon."

I have to say he doesn't look the part at all.

So far, we've nicknamed only the trident guy and the robot.
Complete list of the robot's names:
1. Duncan's Folly (After a fellow freshmen who kept drawing on it and fooling with it)
2. The Tent (You'd know it when you saw it, we've got a huge plywood/aluminum tent on the top with huge stickers on it showing our (3) sponsors)
3. GLaDOS (Yes, it was still alive after me smashing it around in midfield)
4. Decker Ex Machina (Decker in the Machine, after our captain, whenever it had glitches, we said it had "Deckers.")

This year's sweaters say "MADE IN CANADA" on the sleeve, so we all have something related to that on the back. So I'm Scale Model, and we also have Master Mold, Prototype, Biohazard, and Defect among other things

Also, we have a kid on our team who's birth name is Cory. When he joined the team as a niner last year, one of the guys couldn't remember his name and said, "Hey you...um...um...Owen" and it's just stuck. We all get Really confused whenever anyone calls him anything but Owen. Even his mom calls him Owen when she's impatient!

[Born2killx]

Our team has a bunch of people with nicknames.

Snooks, Po, Go, No, Chairman, Mini-Mao, The Beast, Q, Obama, Dropti, among others.

we've got a guy on animation that we call Wolfie. I'm not entirely sure why, but it might just be some inside joke with the animation team or something like that that just spread out to the rest of the team. otherwise, we've got a few people we refer to by their last names, and then Max, who likes to be called Maximilian P. Malone the First.
the only other one I can think of besides those would be mine. people like to call me things along the lines of Stalker or Creeper, mostly because I'm the main camera dude and I'm always taking pictures of people, though some of the dumber comments I've made, usually trying to justify still dumber comments, haven't helped much either...

[Hawiian Cadder]

my nickname is "sack" because my real name is Isaak and its 1 syllable i guess. another kid is named crab man, because of his insane Frisbee defending moves, he sort of scuttles around and looks like a crab.

[Carolyn_Grace]

We have a kid we call Hamster because of his uncanny ability to roll himself in a ball and fall asleep on a bus seat, or pretty much anywhere he wants.

[littlenarniaa]

Well as my screen name says, I'm "Little Narnia." This happened when one of our senior members was working on a project with me and she couldn't remember my name. She stuttered saying "Na-Na-Na-Narnia! Get over here!" I burst out laughing! The little part had come into affect as soon as they found out I was the youngest on the team. Ever since then everyone including our mentors calls me Narnia. Even during build sessions & meetings to ease the tension, I'll get on one knee, with one arm up, and yell "FOR NARNIA!" So if you are to ever see a girl with a cape and crown on, yelling "FOR NARNIA!" That's me (:

[Cheerleader1073]

"Gennybear" is mine - my full first name is Genevieve, normal nick name is Gen, so it fits. It's a comparison to a Carebear, which all have names in the form of (something)bear. Somehow it fits . Although, I did cut off a chunk of a table in the shop once so I'm surprised that hasn't come up yet!

[Brikien93]

I'm known as the Complication due to my knack for overcomplicating things. It's also a nod in the direction of my dislike for Jersey Shore.

There's Bean Dip for who knows what reason.

The Mighty Ginge for our ginger programmer and his mighty programming ways.

The Saxy Man because he's the sexiest sax player to ever walk the face of this Earth.

The Secratariat goes towards our favorite secretary because it sounds like secretary.

Yahtzee/Sprinkles because because.

Dynamic Don goes towards our epic mentor's mentoring capabilities.

Derail is Darrell's nickname because he can be.

Headgear 2.0 to the only person most of us know with headgear.

Sir Seth 3000...what more needs said?

Mrs. Smith.

[jeleser]

Last year, I was Freshman, Afro, 'Fro, or 'Fro kid.
And this year, with the change in hairstyle and grade level, they've all stuck around. -_-

We have two people with nicknames:

1: One of our members is named Joseph, so we renamed him Stalin.

2: We have a junior on our team with an unpronounceable Asian last name, and since we were calling him 'the American' for cultural incorrectness, he insisted that we quit calling him that. Given the trend from #1, we call him Lenin.

Oh, and to continue the dictator theme, Duncan tried to name the robot Fidel last year. And this year. And for the entirety of the foreseeable future.
Our robot is named Notch, by the way.
