Your Team's Logo

[Leeebowitz]

Our team name, the Warbots, is short for Warrior Robotics, named after our school mascot, the Deerfield Warriors. However, that is about it for similarities between our logo and our school.

We have a graphic design teacher at our school who loves the Warbots but is unable to mentor the team for the most part, so he makes the logo. Ours is relatively unique in that each year it slightly changes. Usually there is some form of flaming skull, mostly because it looks awesome, and the color scheme has stayed relatively consistent as well. However, each year the graphic design teacher makes a different logo, relating it in some way to that year's game or our robot. For instance, in 2008, our robot was named 'The Wabbit' because of its appearance and agile drive train. Thus, our logo that year was a Monty Python-esque rabbit on fire. Last year had a flaming skull with pieces of an orbit ball as a headband. This year, we had the same flaming skull with a soccer ball replacing the top of its head. I would attach a picture, but it's too large a file even as a jpg.

We are very grateful for this teacher's contribution to the team; each year our logo is awesome looking no matter how good or bad the team does.

I wasn't on the team our rookie year, but two of my best friends were.


The school held a competition in the art classes to see who could come up with the coolest design and the team voted on it, but in the end the one that was picked was designed by a girl named Ariel who was a senior on the team.

This year, to fit the game, the logo was altered to include a soccer ball, but we've stayed pretty close to the original design.

On our website is a moving animation of the logo; www.roboteknix.com

One year, way back when, the robot was named "Grace Hopper" and her profile looked very similar to a grass hopper so a grasshopper logo was plastered over everything and it became a hit both on our team and on other teams who instantly recognized our robots and it stuck.

Team 195 is forced to use the school-wide logo

my team logo is in my signature, it came about because the original team all loved to ski, after the first season, they had a ton of extra money, so they rented a helicopter for a day and skied, i am told that this is the inspiration for the logo.

And - the first name still suits Exploding Bacon in oh so many ways. One thing about you guys - your know yourselves well.

In 2005, the season as the ChubbBots, there was a lack of coherent image/theme for the team overall, so people wanted to change that. We talked about things like the importance of branding and team decisions, ran a vote to come up with a new team name. UberBots was decided on. After that, we voted to decide on a theme that would be used throughout our existence. The theme that won was actually "Greek/Greek gods", but one member suggested the connection between "uber" and "super", and we revoted on a superman theme. It won, and soon thereafter we voted on a motto and started working on the logo we still have today. SPAM was definitely superman-themed before us, but we had little awareness outside of our own region at the time. Our first year as the UberBots was also our first year attending the Championships, and boy did we get confused everytime we spotted members of SPAM far away and then realized they belonged to another team as we approached.

I wasnt on the team during our rookie year but one of my friends (who is goth/scene) thought of "technomancer" from the word "necromancer" and then im not sure where the teal and black colors came from (but i must say that they are awesome together ). I think he came up with the logo too...but im not entirely sure
