A couple of comments on this. We discussed doing this last year, but decided
against it due to name recognition at the Chicago and Milwaukee competitions.
It would be ok to have a sub theme below the name, but I would like you guys to
think about something that defines the team (most teams use their school mascot
or sponsor type themes). Since we are a community team, I think we should look
to something that reflects the Rockford Area. I have a couple of things that
might help: "Screw City", "Forrest City", "Rock River Valley" are some of the
names for this region. Much of our major sponsorship money comes from 2
Aerospace companies (Hamilton Sundstrand and Woodward), so aerospace and
defense type terms might also be good.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is that it should be appropriate, define the
team, fun, and not embarrass our sponsors! I seriously worked to name my high
school team "Haberdashery Hal's Robot Gang".... 10 years later the team is
still around. It's lucky that they kept with my high school's "Warhawks" theme
and are called the "Cyberhawks". I'm in favor of fun and cool, just not
unserious and silly (we have to ask people for money while wearing the theme /
name on our clothes).

Rockford Robotics,
At competitions, lots of the teams have a recognizable style, like Robot
Mafia's suits or Apple C.O.R.P.S.'s red berets. At the October 5th meeting, the
team decided to hop on the band wagon and come up with a permanent theme.
Here are a few of the ideas:
Steam Punk
Zombies
Octopus
2010 gear squid thing/ "Grump" (Talk to Aaron Craig for details)
Cavemen
Atomic Bomb
Secret Agents
Rockmen (like the ones by the river)
Ninjas
Riverbots
Pacman
New Grounds Tank
Rock and Roll
Please bring sketches of ideas for a logo, mascot, or team uniform to the next
meeting. Feel free to come up with your own team theme!
