Note: Some years may seem inaccurate, but this is because we orient our history around when the FRC season actually is. Hence, in the school year of 2009-2010, it is our 2010 FRC season, thus we call it 2010. FIRST and other organizations may orient their timeline differently.
Foundation
In 2004, Brandon Adams founded the robotics team along with Diane Cass. Mrs. Cass had traveled from Oklahoma where she had been on a previous FIRST team. In conjunction with Brandon, his parents, and Mrs. Cass began to lay the foundation for a FIRST team. Somewhere along the line Paul Burrell came to help improve the robot. Gwen Albers came after Paul to point out that the robot needed spirit.
Team Name
In 2004, Team 1261 was registered as "B3 - Break, Build, Believe". The name "Robolions" was the first name suggested by Gwen Albers and a few other members. Although they thought the name was "cute", the guys on the team quickly voted the name down.
How the name switched back to "Robolions" is unknown.
