Killer Bee students cheering on our favorite rookie team from Colorado, 3333.
Thanks to 503 and 2832 and 3302 for playing along with us!
Ah 3333. just like us, only twice as awesomely threeish. and quite possibly with less yellow and black.
it’s just too bad that we were not able to successfully jack the number for our own twisted, diabolical plan and create ‘More Killer Bees’ , more commonly called by those in the know… ‘ThunderCarp!!!’
Yeah, Dave and I were pretty disappointed to hear that our number was taken… and its going to bee a long wait for 333333. Or even just 33333.
They were great at the Colorado regional!! congrats guys
Team 3357 often had a responsive chant going: “33” – “57”.
It confused me one time why they were cheering for Team 33 in Match 57 
(Yes, the Bees played in match 57 at MSC.)
my team number is 3339 and our name is bumble bees

we are also going to the championship.
Thanks to everyone who was rooting for our team! We starting freaking out about multiples of 3 at the competition…seeing 3’s in everything from at one point being the 3rd seed to having three students on our team to…well, let’s just say it got a little out of control. One time, one of the team members asked me what time it was…yes, 3:33pm.
Anyway, our success was the result of the professional graciousism (I’m coining a new term) of so many other teams. Really, I kept telling people that our team was not only the “Ultimate Rookie Experience,” but the ultimate example of “Gracious Professionalism” because of all the kindness we received from other teams demonstrated in practical help with everything from LabView programming to a failed digital sidecar to a failed solenoid. Whew!
This is an incredible community of professionals and of course, KILLER BEES!
Thanks to Teams 1592 (Cocoa, FL), 1619 (Longmont, CO) and 399 (Lancaster, CA.), 1817 and many, many more!

JHS Industrial Arts Teacher / Mentor - JHS Robotics Team 3333! (Quad Three) What do you think about Quad Three Robotics as a new team name?
Congrats on a successful season! We loved helping you guys long-distance, and had really hoped and prayed that you’d make it to the Championship so we could finally meet you! Next year we’ll have to make it happen somehow!
At WPI, I was trying to encourage my team to cheer for 20 and 2791 in a qual match by chanting “20” clap “791!” repeatedly. I wish it caught on…
It’s fun to think of cool alliances that could be formed with team numbers.
Examples:
11, 88, 1188
33, 57, 3357
16, 25, 1625
111, 114, 1114
217, 71, 2171
21, 71, 2171
28, 34, 2834
125, 51, 1251
And of course, any combination of 1, 11, 111, and 1111.
Out of those, I think 16, 25, and 1625 is the most scary alliance.
I think you could be right. Love them both.
