Game Terms for Quick Communication

[elfenari]

I figured this would be the best place for something like this, as most of the community visits here.

What terms and phrases can we come up with to make strategy and in-match communication more efficient? For example, at Suffield, we started calling putting a bin onto a stack capping the stack. I just saw on Delphi someone calling a robot that takes from the landfill a miner. Any other terms that you think will be useful for strategizers and drivers?

Cap a stack - put a bin on top of a scored stack
Miner - robot that takes totes from the landfill and stacks them
??? - robot that takes totes from the human player station and stacks them
??? - robot that can take totes from anywhere and stack them
Grabber? - robot that takes bins from the step
??? - robot that can make a cooperation stack
??? - full scoring auto
Snaking? - moving the robot around the scoring platforms, in a way that alliance partners need to be aware
??? - any others you guys can come up with?

I've merged the list I've been using in my head with yours:

Cap a stack - put an RC (aka a can) on top of a scored stack
Fully capped - capped, with litter in/on the RC
Pre-Cap - put an RC atop a stack before it's scored
Up-capper - a robot that caps with a vertical RC
Down-capper - a robot that caps with a horizontal RC
Miner - robot that takes totes from the landfill and stacks them
Chuter - robot that takes totes from the human player station and stacks them
Toter - robot that can take totes from anywhere and stack them
Grabber - robot that takes bins from the step
Auto-grabber - robot that takes bins from the step in autonomous
Auto-stacker - robot that scores an Auto Stack of yellow totes
Noodler - robot with device or technique to efficiently get noodles into cans
Litterer (or chucker) - HP who's efficient at getting noodles past the landfills
Processor - A robot that processes litter
Tote-Flipper - a robot that can score inverted totes, either inverted or by flipping them
Tether-Bot - a robot with two or more separate chassis, connected by a tether
Bird Farm - a robot with one or more tethered quadcopters or other flying chassis
Sprawler - a robot that takes up a lot of real estate, and not just a tether
Top-stacker - a robot that builds stacks by placing new totes on top
Bottom-stacker - a robot that builds stacks by placing new totes on the bottom (or by putting a built stack atop a single tote)
??? - robot that can make a cooperation stack
??? - full scoring auto
Snaking? - moving the robot around the scoring platforms, in a way that alliance partners need to be aware
Inside stacker - the robot stacks game pieces (mostly) within its wheel base
Outside stacker - the robot stacks game pieces outside its wheel base
Squatter - the robot has no drive train
Fork lift - lift has forks that extend out from the chassis and goes around the game pieces
Side lift - lift gets game pieces from one side; does not go around
Cargo lift - lift gets game pieces from all sides, or from two opposite sides inside the robot
??? - any others you guys can come up with?

Fully capped - capped, with litter in/on the RC


I tend to find myself referring to these as "Noodled 6 Stacks", etc.

I just saw on Delphi someone calling a robot that takes from the landfill a miner.
We've been using the term at 3946 since design phase, so I did some searching. ON CD, Kevin Leonard used the word miner first this season (unless it was in the Quotes thread; I didn't sift through that monster):
The landfill-miner is cool, and the whole robot looks fantastic!
I did use the verb form a bit earlier:

unable to mine the landfill without making a mess
and the noun form a bit later:
a tote-flipping landfill miner
