Re: Robot names and Team mottos
No offical robot name yet, but our team motto has always been "The mind is a terrible thing to lose"
Although when our team first began someone accidently but The mind is a terrible thing to use on our t-shirts which stuck for two years XD until someone finally said we should probably fix this. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
This year we named our robot TigerLily( Tily for short ) because our mascot is a tiger and tiger Lilies are orange flowers that look like they have Tiger Stripes.
Quote from a student on why its a good name" Because the name symbols our beauty and how fierce we are in competition" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Last year competition robot was Willow because our drive thought it looked like the whale from Whale Trail. The practice bot was Odwalla. Our motto is "Girls Engineering Tomorrow."

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
We haven't come up with a name for this years robot(Although I know most of the team wants to name it OMNOMNOM), but our team motto has always been "Think Outside The 'Bots". As for past robots, here is the list I found:
2007 -The Initiator 2008 -Turbo Talon 2009 -The Hulk 2010 -Technosaurus Rex 2011 -Loki a.k.a: "The Game" 2012 -Air Thordan 2013 -King Cobra |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
2012- Floemotion
Our principal's name is Mr. Floe so we decided to name it after him 2013- !Paul (not Paul) I randomly dubbed the practice robot pail, but people got the practice robot's and the robot's names mixed up because the practice robot didn't have a name. Finally one team member decided to clear it all up and said that the practice robot was Paul and the real robot was !Paul. 2014- G.i.b.b.s. GiBBS is the Ground Based Ball Sucker, we named all the prototype collection systems (clamshell, bulldozer, etc.) and this was just the best name we came up with for a collection system that compresses balls between the ground and something (rollers, wheels, etc.) and we liked it so it stuck. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robot is named SYRUP:
Santa Ynez Robotics Ultimate Program. Our president came up with the acronym and we wanted an excuse to use it. Our only current motto is: #QuinnSucks. Quinn is our president and this has somehow become a running joke where we use our label maker to stick it everywhere (Quinn does not actually suck). |

Yes we've been avoiding pneumatics for years because of the weight and time it takes to charge tanks for thier specific purposes. I think this game is a good fit for pneumatics becuase alliances are only handling one ball at a time during teleop, so there *should* be time to keep the air tanks full for thier next function. Good luck everyone!! |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Considering how our team leader moved to a different school last year... And none of our programming is working... Team #2603's current motto is:
"Nothing is working and we don't know why" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
The Robodox are "Engineering a Brighter Future".
Nearly all of our robot names have been doctors. We don't talk about 2007... 2014 - Anesthesiologist 2013 - Medic 2012 - Radiologist 2011 - Chiropractor (and the mini-bot "The Adjustment") 2010 - Cardiologist 2009 - Neurologist 2008 - Physician 2007 - <Default> 2006 - Dermatologist 2005 - Psychologist 2004 - Dentist 2003 - Therapist 2002 - Surgeon, M.D. 2001 - D.O.C.T.O.R I'm only slightly worried that we've named this year's robot after the person who puts you to sleep... - Mr. Van Coach, Robodox |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
I believe one of our bunnybots a while back was called Jessica Rabbit.
This years robot is currently unnamed and I highly doubt if we have a motto. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Since we changed our name to Dragon Robotics a few years ago, all of our robots have been named after dragons. This year, we chose "Maleficent," upsetting many of those who had pushed for "Shyvana". They have therefore taken to calling the robot "Not Shyvana," much to our head mentor's chagrin. They made a label for it and stuck it on the practice bot. Our mentor promptly removed it, but a student recovered it and stuck it on one of our batteries, so the battery was called "Not Shyvana" until our mentor removed that one, too. We recently bought a new tool cart, so some have begun suggesting that we name the cart "Not Shyvana".
Our team motto is "Make it pretty," the logic being that if something doesn't look well-put-together, it's probably not. Some of my teammates make fun of the motto and suggest putting ribbons and lace on the robot. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Last year, during the FRC build season, we kept drilling and assembling and disassembling and reassembling and measuring and marking and disassembling and reassembling, etc. the same pieces over and over again. when the frame was finally level, we put it in a corner. When we took it out the next day, it wasn't level. I said that gnomes probably came in the middle of the night and tampered with the frame, and the teammate who was working on the frame with me decided they were Russian (I don't know why). From then on, whenever something that was supposed to go right went wrong, we blamed the "Russian gnomes". Thus, this year, we named our FTC robot "Russian Gnome".

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
We named our robot Carrie, because she looks like the snail in Spongebob, whose name is Gary, but I insist that the robot is female (I figure as captain I get to make these decisions :D )
Our team motto is, "It's not ghetto; it's pragmatic." |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our team has always been "financially challenged". This has led to a former team name "Robo Hobos" and mottos such as "We pay in quarters" and "Two steps forward, two steps back"
|
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
That ONE Team is an acronym for "Our Next Engineers", our motto is "Playing the water game since 2013". Since we live in Michigan, water is an important resource, and we are dedicated to service projects involving water.
Our robot is fondly called "Tater". The acronym of our team name is TOT, and thus Tater TOT seemed to be a perfect fit. :D |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our motto is "Created to Create".
Since we are a Christian school we have included a book of the Bible, usually referring to an aspect of build, in the robot name as well as an alternate nickname. Rookie Year (2013) - Genesis AKA Carl (Genesis refers to it being our first robot :D) 2014 - "Leviticus AKA Leviathan" (Leviticus because several times we had to change our design because the rules didn't permit it and Leviticus is the book of the law :yikes:) |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robot names have been simple male names since Rebound Rumble. There has been:
Paul(an omni practice drive train) Steve(Rebound Rumble) Charlie (Ultimate Ascent) Mike (Arial Assist). As for our motto, I believe it is "We are the answer to life, the universe and everything.... squared" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robot doesn't have an official name right now, but our shooter mechanism is called "Nemo's Flipper."
Our KOP bot is referred to as "The Ankle Biter." |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Team 2408's robot's name this year is b.O.s.s. (Big Ol' Sphere Slinger). Unfortunately, we weren't able to vote on a name this year.
Personally, I hate to say it, but the name sounds too generic to me. Oh well, rather not waste time on names. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Team 716 The Who'sCTEKS. We are based out of Housatonic Valley Regional High School.
Housatonic = Who'sCTEKS We have a question mark on our shirts. Housatonic = Who'sCTEKS = ? (see what we did there) Our robot name is. Questionable Solution? And our motto is "Be The Frog". Listen why. Picture if you will a bird. A Great Heron as a matter of fact. And a frog. The Great Heron is higher up on the food chain than the frog. The Great Heron you could say is similar to the larger teams in FIRST, always on top of their game. Our team is small, we are the frog. So here is the visual, the Great Heron tries to eat the frog head first but the frog takes his two front arms and grabs the Great Heron buy the throat hence denying him of his meal else he dies trying to swallow the frog. The frog Never EVER gives up. "Be The Frog" Choke on that. Lol:D |

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
This year we named our practice robot Puff the Magic Dragon, and our competition bot is officially called Thanatos (basically the grim reaper in greek mythology). Unofficially, the comp bot is BAT^2 REX (pronounced B-A-T-squared-rex) which stands for Bad @$$ Tronic Titanosaurus Rex or Brilliantly Assembled Tronic Titanosaurus Rex depending on who we're talking to.

The team that I'm on (Team 564 Longwood Robotics) we named our robot Jezibel! Its named after our coach! (Sorry Ms. Lang!)

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
the name that we have selected is hawks on the horizon
yet we haven't try ed to make a motto |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
This year the Devastators named our robot Roman
Our team hashtag is #wedroppedtheball |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Last year we wanted to name our robot Beyonce but we picked "The Butcher" in reference to a certain League of Legends champion.
This year we went through a couple ideas, including Stefano (an alumni of our team), flappy bird, Beyonce again, and I think for awhile we were thinking about names like "Juggernaut" (Because we want to be #1 ;) ) and Invictus to sound edgy. Ultimately we decided on Animal because it didn't really matter in the end. Also our team has several slogans we put on sand which boards and parade around regionals. Some from last year were "Ducks of a feather waddle together" and "Hatching a brighter future" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robot name (2014) is "The Lobbit"
Our team motto is "Think Outside The Cube" This years 'For fun' motto is probably "Get the mallet" Have fun teams! We will be at the Greater Kansas City Regional. Link to our robot reveal video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSyxsu7ll58 See you on Thursday!:yikes: Bye for now, Metro Homeschool Robotics |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our team's name is Sehome Seamonsters, and our motto is "Let's get Kraken!" and our robot's name is Atlas.
Fun fact, I've seen ONE other robot with a belt shooter design, and their robot was also named atlas. (Shoutout to team 1711 for also doing a belt design!) |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robot, with a rigid, durable frame made of 4" aluminum I-beams, got its name "raIder" from its frame and its ability to be a linebacker like the NFL players who wear the same name.

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
I didn't see a team mate post ours so ...
I am unaware of previous robot names or mottoes but this years name has a story: If you attended the Groton, CT District you know that we had a spring loaded catapult that was pulled back by a pneumatic cylinder and held in place by a 300# magnet that was mounted to a pancake cylinder to pull it from the catapult. This magnet looked very much like the Arch Reactor. So when coming up with names for the bot we thought: "Iron Man" or "Tony Stark". Whule chewing on that one of the mentors called out "Robot Downey Jr." and we all died laughing so it stuck. We changed to 2 pneumatic cylinders to fire the catapult after Groton but the name stuck. As many are aware, this years motto is: "truss and destroy". |

That's right, our 2014 robot was named GARE-E (Globe Acquisition and Relay Engine - Earth class). It basically came about because of how snail-like it appeared when the shooter was up and the intake tucked in starting configuration. Brain storming snail inspired names naturally led to Sponge Bob's pet snail, Gary. We then roboticized it by combining that with WALL-E and developed the acnonymn to fit the game objective. We found it quite catchy and appropriate. Lol |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
In the past couple years we've tried to pick robot names relating to bulls... This year, we named it BullsEye (inspiration from this cheetos commercial).
Our current motto is from a retired mentor, "Nothing's impossible if you don't know it can't be done". We're thinking of revising it especially after this season's internal events and struggles (long story) to "One for all, all for one" though. |

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Well, Team 20's the Rocketeers... named after a sponsor who no longer sponsors us.
Our robot this year is called Eclipse... WHAT? I don't know how that makes any sense, but if it means anything, I voted for launchpad. I think "boxy" or "petunia" would have been more appropriate? Why petunia? Because the method to open our catcher panels is called CatcherPanel.bloom(). |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Each year, a few days after build season ends, our team walks to Ben and Jerry's and names the robot after whoever is at the counter. This year, our robot's name is Kyle.
We sometimes use "It may not be perfect, but that's where the magic begins!" as our motto. |

Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Every year our robot is a variation on Sam. This is because our official motto is Small and Mighty. This year our robot is SAMXV (it is our 15th year as a team)
Our unofficial motto is "Just because you can build it, doesn't mean you should" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Our robots name is Rosie. One of the few teams that has a robot that is referred to as a girl.
Our motto is "We Can Do It" Our unofficial motto however is, "Spread out so it looks like we have more people" |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Since our strategy this year was called secret sauce, we wanted robot names that were condiment-based.
Competition robot: Hot Sauce Practice robot: Not Sauce We had trouble coming up with an official motto for this year, so one of the students just said, "Robots, amirite?" and it stuck. |
Re: Robot names and Team mottos
Sorry if someone else from my team has already posted!
This year we tried to have a poll/vote for our robots name, and most of them were so outrageous they weren't even counted. We decided on Sonic the Hedgebot (affectionately called Hoodgeboodge) due to its speed and blue "spikes" (which were later made shorter) when one of our mentors noted it. Which is why almost all our videos this year included music from the Sonic games. I don't think we have an official team motto, besides "Robots From The Grove", but we do have a lot of catchphrases. |
