At the beginning of this season, our mentor Paul George passed away after a long battle with cancer, surrounded by family and friends.

Paul was affectionately referred to by the team as “Dad” and was very proud of his greek heritage. In his honor, we have name this year’s robot “Bampás” or μπαμπας which means “Dad” in greek.
