Re: Interesting team names

Lol, of all the questions to ask. Our name has probably the most interesting of all stories behind it. Epsilon Delta, Ed, or E D. Well the year we came up with it we had an arm that wouldnt stand up. If you cant put that together with words that start with the letters e and d, dont bother. And we decided we liked the name, so we changed the letters to stand for Epsilon Delta and adopted the greek symbols for them for our logo.

Thats nice at least we aren't the only team with an advisor named robot. Anyway our team name is L.E.R.N. League of Extraordinary Robot Nerds. Yeah it was my brother's idea. Unfortunately spelling is not one of his expertises.
I have to say though whenever I see John V Neun's name I always think of the Nutrons.

Re: Interesting team names

Our name is weird because the name "Killer Bees" actually has nothing to do with our school....whatsoever. When the team started back in 1996, they were with a different high school, Avondale, whose mascot was the yellowjacket. Their school colors were yellow and purple....look at out logo. Our school joined Avondale in 2000, and they added some stuff to the bee to make it look more Irish (we're the Notre Dame Prep Fighting Irish). They added a shamrock in his eye and a.....crack pipe looking thing that's apparently Irish. They also added some green to the logo. Well, Avondale left the team before the 2003 season, and now we're the Notre Dame Prep Killer Bees. Yellow and purple are still the main colors (look at our arm last year), and green is thrown in once in awhile.

Also, If you look, we "borrowed" our bee from Georgia Tech. Merchandise with "our" be on it was all over in Atlanta!

Re: Interesting team names

Our team name and Robot names are very interesting indeed. Bobcat Robotics comes from our um... school name. And our robot's name this year.... the bobcat 2004

TJ² come from our school mascot "Trojan" and our sponsor "Johnson & Johnson." The two were combined and I think that that's really it.

Re: Interesting team names

Back in 2000 Miss Daisy actually came in 2nd for voting.. the next year our head honcho decided it was time to have a femine name, so everyone groaned and moaned through our first two competitions.. But then, people started to say things like "we love miss daisy," so we decided to renew the theme- its really been awesome, everytime we see something 'daisy' in the stores we grab it, and whenever girls see our robot theyre like "ooh, miss daisy"...

yeah, after 3 years of being miss daisy I sometimes find me calling myself a daisy, eh?

A certain commercial featuring Bob Dole comes to mind.. But maybe I am way off on that one.

Bots, short for robot, basically self explainatory (we are a robot team).

Our nick-name is T.R.I.B.E.---Taking Robotics Into Bold Experiences. This is the third nick-name for our team. Some of you veterans may remember us as the Black Magic team and Sunseekers (our rookie '99 and sophmore '00 years).
Actually Jay, it's Siemon as in The Siemon Company not to be confused with Siemens, another leader in Telecommunications.

Also, Team 237 has named it's robot for the past so many years P.A.L. It has two meanings, Professionally Automated Landrover is what it semi- stands for, but also our main advisor's last name is Pallokat and everyone just calls him Pal for short. I guess the robot name is a dedication to him since he was one of the main people who started the team.

Re: Interesting team names

My team's name (Binary Bulldogs) comes from our school's mascot (bulldogs) and the fact that our team number 1110 also doubles as a binary number. Our robot's name (Agent Schmidt) is a play on words, for one Schmidt is the name of our very dedicated advisor and Agenst Schmidt sounds like Agent Smith from the Matrix.
