Team Info and History
Team Location
We are based in St. Elmo, a neighborhood in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Team Age
We first registered on August 31st, 2007.
Team Name
Teddy (our team captain), suggested the team name.
"Tera" (not "Terra"), means trillion, and Teddy read in a Wired Magazine article that it was the current "hot number". The "storm" part came from "Mindstorms", and the "Team" part (it's actually part of the name) was used because Teddy didn't think "Terastorm" sounded good.
How the team was started
Teddy read a newspaper article about FLL, and decided that he would create a team when he saw that the Chattanooga Engineers Club would sponsor any team in the Chattanooga area.
