Why are we called Team Death by Monkeys?

Monkeys are mean.  It's just that simple.  Before I got into my current job in software, I studied primate behavior at the University of Washington.  I spent a lot of time with a variety of different monkeys and apes.  Some were harmless like owl monkeys, and others I never actually got in a situation where they could do anything bad to me, like with gorillasBaboons were fairly predictable in their behavior but they were BIG and could do some serious damage if they wanted to.  The worst were Macaques.  They weren't very big but they were very unpredictable; you never knew when they would take a swipe at you.  I knew I wanted to have a "Monkey" theme for my first robot and thought that getting killed by monkeys would be a terrible way to die... so Death by Monkeys was born.
