THE ROBO REMEDY

REPORTER Time is Ticking!

How Everything

Began

When we first got our team number

assigned (7103), somebody looked at

it upside down, and asked: “What

does E-OIL mean?”. Mr. Plocher took

what that person said and told us

during one of our first meetings last

season. Everyone liked it, and we

decided to use it as our second team

name.

From that point on, it became an

important element to our team and has

appeared in many of our designs.

We’ve improved on the title “E-OIL”,

and this year we even have a jingle

that mentions it in our timeline video.

We want to show E-OIL in everything

we do towards the robot, our mentors,

and especially our team members.

That’s why, on the right, there are

some qualities of E-OIL being

performed at our meetings this season:

What is E-OIL?

- Encouragement - Enjoyment - Education - Empathy - EagerNESS - Energy - Engagement - Evangelical - Excitement - Engineering - Embodiment

And all of these bring us to the End Result…

… E-Oil!!!
