Hey y'all,
What are some of the names that you submitted for this year's game?

I was looking through the archives looking for a similar post but i couldn't find one and the search function seems to be no longer with us (another case of not knowing what you have until you lose it). If there is a thread that does what this one does, please let me know.

I didn't personally submit anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if the name had something to do with that bridge...

I wanted "Bridge of Death" like from Monty Python...but I got voted down.

That bridge is gonna cause some serious robot destruction, regardless of how well you drive. Fluke
accidents will happen, and robots will get chewed up.

espescially if a heavy bot is on one end and a light bot is on the other, it would be like a teter tottor that didn't move :), you big bully bots :)

I think I will get just a little nervous when mentioning my robot's death right in the name of the game... what ever happened to gracious professionalism? Maybe this year's name should have something to do about the fact that all 4 team work together. But then again, if the name describe about balancing the goals on the bridge, AND sounds cool, I will take it.

As much as I love the idea of G.P., it got us the "Co-operition FIRST" name last year.....Personally, I think it needs to go back to describing the field.

Whatever happened to game names like "Hexagon Havoc", "Tower Power", "Rug Rage"...names that both described the field/game...and sounded intimidating. But then again...which such an unindimidating name...perhaps something like Co-Opertition might work.
