We are Team Cipher, a robotics team based at Trumpington Community College. We consist of nine members, Leonard G, Alex T, Isaiah O, Emma M, Leo M, Skye S, Pola B, Shaked F, and Isaac L. We’ve competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge for three years and have won awards every time. We’re preparing for next year’s season and aiming for a nationals win, if we’re lucky. The name Team Cipher is inspired by Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, a powerful pyramid-shaped villain. We chose it because, prior to the current rendition of our Robot, it featured a distinctive triangular shape.
Our logo is a distinctive blue triangle with wings, and nuts and bolts. It’s reminiscent of Bill Cipher but we’ve applied our own style to it.
Team Slogan
We’ve come up with a couple of team slogans, mostly silly ones. For example:
- “We could, but no” – This signifies that we are very good at procrastinating.
- “We don’t do this because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy” – The plight of the ambitious project is that difficulty shall be eternally underestimated
- “The gap between theory and practice is smaller in theory than in practice” – This is self explanatory
