Am I missing something, or should that be the definite article: The Robot Named TRNT?

(If so, even cooler would be TRRNT: The Robot Recursively Named TRRNT).

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot this year is "Huggles McChopChop"

Our theme this year is fine art, so our robots name is "Captain Whidbey's Proswishper Walking Down the Stairs"

Prototype 7, because the robot somehow always ends up with at least 1 part that was originally a prototype. This year, it was the whole lift.

Team 1448's Robot is named Rhapsody :rolleyes:

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Team 2080 gave our robot the name Rolling Thunder

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our team always likes to let our robot names appear organically as opposed to sitting down and coming up with something. Generally, someone will say something stupid or tell a funny story and the robot name will just jump out. For this year, a new mentor on the team told a funny story about how he got his nickname.

We named our robot Ignition, because it won the result of a team vote.

However, I REALLY hope that the name isn't foreshadowing anything...

This might be an unintended relation, but Operation rolling thunder was one of the most efective operations ever by the United States Air Force!:cool:

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot is Sam. Also Bad Robot XII. In our first year the robot was named Zoltan. After that, it was Bad Robot I, Bad Robot II, ...

In 2005 we also called the robot Low Rider (less than 0.5" of ground clearance). In 2010 our Engineering Director named the robot (Bad Robot VII) Stella. And since then it has been the privilege of of the Engineer Director or Directors to name the robot and practice robot. After Stella was Shelby.

Then we had Mike for Rebound Rumble. Some kids objected and said it should be a female name, but our Engineering Director Lindsey pointed out that
(1) She was the Engineering Director and she was going to name the basketball robot after Michael Jordan.
and
(2) The previous two male Engineering Directors gave their robots female names so she was using a male name.

This year we had co-Directors, with one female and one male, so they choose a gender neutral name, Sam. (I did make an early play for Pat, but Sam is a good name.)
