Sean, Yes 2001 was a very good year for the Gila Monsters, one of our rare trips to the East Coast.

This may have been answered already but the primary sponsor of those "Gila Monsters" Team 64 and these "Gila Monsters" Team 3785 is the same. The General Motors Desert Proving Ground. We moved from our Mesa, AZ location to Yuma, AZ and have resurrected the team here in Yuma.

We have a great group of new mentors/engineers involved for the first time in FIRST hence the rookie number from last year. Also awesome mix of students from the local high schools blended to make what we believe will do justice to the Gila Monster name and heritage.

The bolded letters may give you a hint how the original Gila Monster students came up with the Gila Monster name back in 1998.

Don, 2002 was a good year for the Gila Monsters, with Bionic Bulldogs and 144 at Epcot. Seems like there were alot of good years for Gila Monsters - and now they're coming on strong again!

Now, we don't need someone going around spouting lies. GLaDOS does that enough for everyone.

I guess someone is getting greedy. Is one pi not good enough for you? Rho is the one I've been waiting to show up.
