2003 Robot Names

[BBFIRSTCHICK]

Dose any one have their bot name picked out for this year?? If so what is it??

[Ricky Q.]

SANDOR......

(don't ask..lol)

[The Paco]

xtremachine 6!!!

just because i can...

[Melissa Nute]

Ohmer 3

[T967]

Metal Menace

[Aaron Lussier]

Were gonna name ours Cerebus, after the three headed dog that guarded the gates of hell

[Jeff Waegelin]

We're debating between "The Black Knight" and "RIB: Robot in Black." I guess it gives a little hint about our color scheme...

[Joe Matt]

Hold back for the best name EVER!!

Sparky 4.0

Yes, the sequel to 3.0 which was the sequel to 2.0 which was a sequel to the original Spark.

[srjjs]

I think we'll name ours Hal.

[evulish]

Uhh...how about 'Chuck.' Same as last year, the year before that, the year before that, the year before that, and the year before that. Hmm. :)

[Andrew Rudolph]

Speed R.A.C.E.R. (robotics and creative engineerings robot)

[Jeff_Rice]

Muttnik. Sputnik was launched in 1957. Our team is 957.

[Yan Wang]

I know someone else claimed a name/something for their team so no one else would use it. Please do not use this slogan from our team:

"All your bins are belong to us!."

[Madison]

Our robot is Minotaur :)

[tbmantia]

Last year we were LazyBot, and I think that it will stick this year. We had Futurama's Bender as our mascot, I think this year we will have someone dress up like him. It will be a lot of fun, so watch out for Team 906.

[Xenogyst]

Well, as long as I've known my team, our robot has been officially called "Cogsworth" (i think?).
Most of us unofficially called it "Work you pile of wires!"

This year there were a few debates as to what the thing should be called...

I think a few people decided on some sort of haxor spelling of robot (r0807 ?)

To be honest I think everyone on the team has a different name for it...

[Alavinus]

Our robot will be called Kilroy IV, successor to Kilroy three, two and the original Kilroy. It's nice to have a history teacher as coach ;)

[Katie Reynolds]

:) TOBOR VI :)

(Yikes! We're getting up there in the roman numerals!!)

- Katie

[HolyMasamune]

Jeez what's with all these roman numerals...come up with new names :)

[Koko Ed]

We chose X-tinguisher.

[Duke 13370]

I was hoping for "Quito the Love Goose", but the engineers said we should stick to Ziff.

Now we have Ziff 2.0

[ChewyMasterFlex]

The Red Wall
or
The Berlin Wall
...you can imagine what it's for...

[Stephanie]

hmm, we have a couple names being debated for this year. last year's was "furious george"
here are the options for this year:
-king cog
-kong foo
-guerilla gorilla

all very fitting for the apes of wrath :)

[evulish]

I think teams should just keep their robot name the same. Many teams are known mostly by their robot's name (think Buzz, MOE...and, well, Chuck :P) When they're the same, it's easier to remember from year to year.

*shrug*

[Rickertsen2]

Earl
lol

[Gui Cavalcanti]

Last year we were so pathetic we called our robot It.

This year we've moved up a notch, and decided upon... ::drumroll::

Functional decoration!

[BBFIRSTCHICK]

We do not know what we are going to name this years bot. In previous years they have been

1997:Manuela
1998: Max
1999:Monica
2000:Keeeler
2001: Clarice
2002: Rebecca
2003: :confused:

[Jeffel]

Sandor... A wierd name,, i dont know how they came up with it?!?!?!?!-269

[skrussel]

It's The Screamer

[Katie Reynolds]

*shrug*
That's why we keep it TOBOR (insert roman numeral here.) Most teams know us by "TOBOR" but we have the roman numerals so we can keep our robots straight! ("Hey, remember that thing we did with the drive on T5? Oh yeah, kinda like T2 right?")

:)

[Clanat]

The sequel to "Zero":

e^(pi*i)+2

[authgeek1218]

It may very well end up being 'The Constapatron', just plain 'Constapation' or 'RINOL' (robot in need of laxatives).

[OneAngryDaisy]

Miss Daisy, the hottest of em' all, will be back

[Gope]

Same as always

Two Minute Warning

[PyroPhin]

Hrmm...

we usually pick our bot name the day before shipping at 5am with at least one member of the team in an altered state of mind.. helps alot!

Example.. 2002 Bot, Captain was named while one member of the team was doing the YMCA in a sailors outfit..

*shrugs* sometimes insanity is your best recource

~Pyro

[Hailfire]

Ours will probably be Screamer. Note the team name in my sig.

[D@ve]

121 S.S. Rhode Warrior

The Minotaur, or Mino for short, is what we call our team short bus that we use for travel to local competitions. In terms of our team name, we've decided to discontinue the "George the Crazy Canuck" series, as we have since severed ties with our Canadian engineer. Rest assured, we'll come up with something just as random though.

[HolyMasamune]

The Pwnbot :P

[JMastahFlex19]

Janet

[ngreen]

I stole the bots name.

Robohyo

hyo is japanese for panther (our schools mascot)

[2PI4Julia]

It may very well end up being 'The Constapatron', just plain 'Constapation' or 'RINOL' (robot in need of laxatives).

THAT IT JUST PLAIN FUNNY! Does your robot need to lose weight or something? How'd you get the name?

Anyways, our bot's called RainMakerIV. It originated from Ashlee, the person who started our team (we're keeping it as her and her sister's legacy to the team). And well, we're from the Pacific Northwest, and near a lot of Native American reservations, so it kinda makes sense.

[Andy A.]

Our bots are named after famous (mostly dead) scientists.

This years will probably be called Rachel Carson, although it isn't offical.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Silent Spring!!!

*twitch* *twitch*

Oh, how I loathe that book.

[soezgg]

we are planning on naming our robot


'STEVE'

[Tton]

=)

*shrug*

Believe it or not, each 'MOE' robot is actually named something different with MOE somewhere in it. 2000 was Big MOE, 2001 was Li'l MOE, and 2002 was MOEHawk. As for 2003, well, we like to have a working robot before giving it a name, as for now, some of us stick with MOEv2003 because the team hasn't voted on something else. Rest assured, we will not dissapoint you with a cool name involving MOE.

Something else to look out for: Every year our shirts 'evolve'. In 2000, we only had 1 gear with a halo on it.. 2001, there were 2.. 2002, there were 3.. and in 2003, there will be 4! Anyone sensing a pattern?

[JelliBeanoJenni]

Revolution 2.0

same as team name without the 2.0 *^^*

[Spikey]

Its gonna be SPIKE this year, we kinda gave up on the number thing it was confusing people. For you number lovers this years SPIKE is 6 if your still counting:yikes:
Beware the evil fish!!

[Mike o.]

Well Team 1086 wanted to go with Phil for the robot name, but sadly we went with...... drum roll.......... iPoe.
Its suppose to stand for something, personally i didnt want it, i think its just rip off of Apple and their iLife stuff. well who cares, superb robot names are hard to come by for new teams.

Mike

[DanLevin247]

According to team tradition, 247's bot should be called Bearfoot V....but I like "segway"

[turbidum]

Well, in order to follow our punny team name, we've come up with another monkey 'bot. Our team name is The Apes of Wrath, after Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath , which is fitting because our coach is an English teacher and because we're Californian. Last year, the robot's name was Furious George, after that delightfully playful monkey, Curious George. This year, in keeping with the monkey spirit, our robot's name is Kong Fu with Karate Chop action (don't want to explain, lol, you'll just have to see at competition).

[George1902]

the years i've been on SPAM we've had some pretty neat 'bot names.

1998: Kenny (kept dying on us)
1999: Ga-Doinkle (after the sound one of it's components made)
2000: Sexy Lexy (she was made almost entirely of lexan)
2001: 3-Bits (that's how much variable space the coders had left)
2002: Fluffy (cause aluminum is so cuddly looking)

i'm really interested to see what 180 comes up with this year for their robot name...

as for 1083, our bot's name is Halcyon. i dunno why, but that's what the kids decided on. a bit vanilla for my tastes, really...

[Petey]

Our test robot has been christened thus...
SCHNELL UBERFURBY

Inspired by the members of our team who administer www.toydestruction.com.

--Petey

[sky547]

we're kinda vacillating between whirly bird, dirty bird, and early bird...i personally like dirty bird though...we do have a team mascot that's a monkey that we named Tobor Sven Smeagol...

[Josh Hambright]

i have a feeling ours will just continue the tradition we started our first year and be "Rowdy Pete" aka "Rowdy 4"

[LaurenH]

Team 1064
Robot name: ***Maxwell's Demon***
Team name: Wild Beast
(from WILDstang (111) and the BEAST (71))

-------------------------
We were debating between Schrödinger’s Cat (with Meaning of Quantum Theory) and the Maxwell’s Demon (A machine of this type, of great antiquity and fine pedigree, is Maxwell's Demon, the prodigy of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the biggest brains in nineteenth century science and the architect of the modern classical theory of electricity and magnetism.). There is a theme starting here.

We choose Maxwell’s Demon before the game was even released and with thinking through the game, we could be the Demon on top of the ramp that keeps the Red (hot molecules) and the blue (cold molecules) separated.

*Schrödinger’s Cat maybe our robot name next year when D.J. from the TechnoKats joins our team.

The link below explains Maxwell and his accomplishments and has a very addicting game of being the demon yourself and trying to get the warm and cool separated.

[Lauren Hafford]

It's really a tough choice for our team! Ahh, the variety:

1. Cam the RamBot
2. Ram the CamBot
3. The Cambot
4. The RamBot
5. The WeDon'tReallyHaveAThemeBot

You all probably know us: ram horns, ski supplies, The Fish, oh well.

The name is that of our Center Director here at Job Corp, not very interesting but oh well

[x-catSean]

Our robot is X-tinguisher!!!!!!

Fox presents MOE Millionaire!

[joe gem]

4th year so Rambo IV....

There was five right?....Only one more to go...

[Ken]

POD2 since last years robot was POD1.

[Clark Gilbert]

Mighty Auk!!

enough said...dont ask...

:D

[Stephen P]

IVOR
- (after a very generous man who gave us da bread)
any suggestions for an acronym?

[Elyse Holguin]

as always, we are again the BEAST. :D

[SteveO]

We're gonna call ours "The Shizzznit" if they'll let us. If not we'll come up with somethin' else

[John Bono]

We actually have quite a few ideas and can't decide between them.
1) The Resonnant Squirrel (a big school inside joke)
2) Your tax dollars at work (FAK's idea)
3) Swiss Cheese: The Reckoning (last year and again this year, the robot gets the drill diet)
4) Maverick (our school mascot--which is SO lame).
5) Some sort of 8-Bit Theatre related name (we've already got the cosplay outfits).

[Jean McAuliffe]

The name we chose in December (team was only weeks old at the time) is "Chairman Mao bot". This name was part of losing theme, but won the name vote. Some of us on the team feel that this is not PC, especially when you think of what Mao the person did in China, and in this current world climate. It doesn't really seem to represent the spirit of FIRST either. I was thinking of suggesting a change to "Chairman Meow bot". Some of the students are pretty adamant to keep it as is.

[Mr MOE]

The Miracle Workerz have finally decided on a name for MOEv2003.

Some of the above suggestions were in the runnning, but the winner for MOEv2003 is.....





GeroniMOE!!!

Thanks for the suggestions!

[Macdaddy549]

We have a "Chairman Mao" on our team too. Not the robot though.

[John Bono]

Oh yeah--and another potential name I just thought--butterfly (we keep calling them butterfly wings because we have 2 to stack and 2 to turn boxes upright before we stack). Any votes here for our teams' robot name?

[mooveitrobot420]

w00t..... i think:D

[Mark Pettit]

Our robot is called "Uncomfortable Hunk Of Metal", and it seems to be living up to that name at this point!:confused:

[Kris Verdeyen]

Is that a Pulp Fiction reference?

[Mark Pettit]

The whole story is on a different thread, but yes, we thought of the name while watching Pulp Fiction in the van on the way home from the SoCal Regional last year.

[Ryan Dognaux]

This year Cyber Blue will not go with a Beef ____ name. Since it's our 5th year, and our school mascot is the Falcons it's.. :drumroll:

Falcon V :D

Reminds me of that one episode of Doug (c'mon everyone used to watch Doug!) where he made the kite and they called it the Funny V.... anyways lol yup Falcon V it is. :)

[Matt Reiland]

Team:TEC CREW #226

[AlphaOmega870]

I would like to call my team's robot the lemming, because it would follow things off a cliff, but it is not likely

[Clanat]

e^(pi*i) + 2

The sequel.

[x-catSean]

Team 191, The X-Cats, one of the founding teams of FIRST has a robot called X-Tinguisher!!! See you at the Cleveland regional and Florida!
-sean

[John Bono]

Well, looks like Swiss Cheese gets the naming. But I'm just gonna call it the Cardinal.

...and by florida you really mean houston, right?

[Ianworld]

well our original decent idea was shaft...
the shaft is on the move
its going
the stuy shaft is going for the scoring zone... that ended quickly
We then wanted Lola as in the song by the kinks.
We then wanted crate baby and to have the logo on the inside of the crates be are logo but we didn't end up doing that for certain unknown reason. Lola is our robots name.

[f22flyboy]

Rhythmic Disturbance

[Keith Chester]

Opportunity, though it may be changed to Trainwreck.
