Ah, yes, the dangerous acronyms. Although we didn't have one as risque as S.L.U.T., we tried to get away with FaSciSts for our science fiction and fantasy book club (it was short for Fantasy and Science Fiction for Students). The administrators, however, weren't too thrilled with us wanting to be the FaSciSts club, for obvious reasons, almost as obvious as S.L.U.T. (risque, but creative, lol).

You know, choosing a name can be HARD... The high school is simply "The Pioneers", with a complex Conestoga Wagon logo, and most of the sports teams go with that. The students however weren't crazy about being yet ANOTHER team at the school with the same name. So the names started coming, and coming, and COMING... We had a HUGE number of random ideas for a team name, but a LOT of them were presented in jest. At one point during the naming process our team thought about being the "Cow Pi's" with turd hats and a cow's profile logo that looked like the mathematical Pi symbol. Needless to say though, of ALL the ideas, the school administration was NOT pleased with being associated with THAT concept. The admin said they didn't care if it was an animal or other choice, but they didn't want to be the "butt" of jokes... We didn't want a fight with them. When we thought about it, we felt we might have a hard time recruiting SPONSORS to that name as well. So we found something else. (We also thought we may not appreciate comments from other teams like "they make crappy robots"... )After MANY waves of ideas though, we obviously weren't getting anywhere, and were running out of time to decide. I finally simply said to focus everyone: "OK, these are ALL cool ideas, but we now need to choose ONE. So, to show everyone you're SERIOUS about your idea, and present a logo concept as well. You don't have to be an artist, just show us the CONCEPT, and we'll FIND a student with art skills to draw it for you. We'll then choose from THOSE." Oh boy, THAT quickly separated the REAL suggestions from random prank offerings! To our amazement though, SEVERAL students showed up the next week with EXCELLENT presentations and artwork, and we got down to some SERIOUS name selection! We still had lots of animal or machine/tech thematic items to choose from, but now we could SEE them. I think the term "Pi High Samurai" was originally forwarded as a gag. However, Jeffrey Nao, a Sophomore with EXCELLENT art skills, ran with it. Jeffrey came up with our incredible Samurai Warrior logo (which you'll see in the Yearbook this year), and it took the student's votes hands down. EVERYONE, students, mentors, teachers, and sponsors alike were pleased with the name. "Pi High" is something the students all call the school anyway, and we all thought Pi High Samurai rolled off the tongue fairly easily. It also had a LOT of interesting thematic opportunities for development of a "team personality" and swap items. Our robot is named Shogun, for "leader of the army". Now if anyone has a lead of where we can get ahold of a good Samurai Armor suit for our mascot, please email me privately! REAL ones are thousands of dollars, so we're now trying to figure out how to have a costume one made cheaply.- Keith |

Our team name is the Gila Monsters (pronounced He la)
We are from Arizona and wanted something distinctive, to represent Arizona and the Southwest. The Gila Monster is one of the few poisonous lizards. Has a terrific bite, and just looks real ominous. Our sponsor is General Motors so the initials worked with our sponsors name also. Are Motto is: "We Really Bite" Again reflecting the real Gila Monster, it's also works great if you're winning or losing! The Robots Names have been Gila I,II,III,IV,V short for Gil A Monster I,II,III,IV,V |

Our name sort of just fell on us. we have students from five schools and it is a vocational center. Our name is CSI: Monroe. The Center for Scientific Intelligence and we all live in Monroe county. Our instructor came up with the name we really didn't have any idea what our team name should be but it doesn't sound to bad. We tried to name our robot Bob the bot but our instructor wouldn't let us so we had to come up with another name. We haven't decided on a name for the bot but if anyone has any suggestion it would be appreciated.

We're Brophy College Preparatory, an all boys school in Phoenix, AZ. We used to be hooked up with Xavier College Prep (all girls school right next door) but this year we each have our own respective team. Our team chose The Dukes as our name since it has all of the masculine undertones (i.e. status, competetiveness, toughness) that we're going for. At this point, we're not sure if we'll keep it from year to year or if we'll create a new "brand" each year.
Our robot is named "Uncomfortable Hunk of Metal" (UHOM). We chose the name last year while we were on our way home from the SoCal Regional in a van. Some students were watching Pulp Fiction and we all agreed that UHOM was a sweet name for the robot after the infamous Christopher Walken (Captain Koons) scene. The name stuck and we think it'll probably last from year to year. |

Well, let's see... I don't think that our team has anything interesting, namewise. People don't know us by our team name, so it's as if we don't have one anyway. We are the Bionic Bulldogs. I think it's cause the school's mascot is a bulldog and bionic has to do with mechanics.
A very interesting story, I know, but that's the truth... and the truth is not always the most fun thing in the world. Amanda |

Where did CircuitRunners come from? Came from me....
We had a brain storming session and I randomly came up with it some how. I was thinking basically circuits and movemnt. Then of course zoneing out was a factor in it. Also i was trying to think of a plauseable logo. I had another cool one. Except, it only made it to the second to last voteing round for names. The runner up name for our team was the name of computer game if any1 was wondering..... |

We chose this as a team because our mascot is a really common one so we wanted something different. It stands for
Philomath High Robotics Engineering Division. We like it and have found lots of ways to have fun with it so far. we have changed our logo each year however as our graphics capabilities have advanced and are hoping to have a new mascot for the team next year instead of a logo override. |
