Robot Names 2015
 

What name has your team given to the robot???



Just curious to know what teams have named their robots this year.
It's always fun to guess and imagine what the teams robots look like according to their name. :D

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Francois XVI, though the numbering is something that we're only just getting back into doing.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot has several names.

The "official" name is (T2G3R)⁴.

The nickname is "Peabody". We built two robots, the first was "Atlas" and we switched from planning to bag Atlas to bagging Peabody just a few hours before the bag.

And the name in my head for the robot (and actually the vast majority of the robots this year) is BLL. That's from Star Wars IV (A New Hope).

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot is named XCycler!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Following the naming convention that started last season that will continue for the foreseeable future. Our robot is named Sandstorm II.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

?Gentle Extermination Agent? Or perhaps Gentle Assassin?

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Yep "Gentle Extermination Agent".."Varsam" (i forget 2nd part) was the name of our blocking robot last year

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

So your robot actually sits on top of the stack it's building? Cool.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Gus, you meant (T1G3R)⁴.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Competition Robot - Decas
Which stands for decade in Latin; Celebrating a decade of Team 1710.

Practice Robot - QuikStack
Which stands for nothing.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our
Super
Cool
Awesome
Robot

A bit different than our usual themed names, i.e. Knighthawk for the Air Force being a sponsor, Oddjob because we shot Frisbees, or Screaming Knight because it got loud as hell when shooting, but a name nonetheless.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

W=(delta)KE or... "Wake".

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot name is Acervus. It means to stack in Latin.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Yes, Yes I do.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Keeping with the software theme of our team, we went with Stack Overflow.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We just named our lift that.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Liftamus Prime

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We always name our robots based on greek mythology.

Our prototype robot is always named Tartarus for the grief it gives us. We are on Tartarus 7.

Our competition bot this year is Pricus: the immortal father of all sea-goats.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

This year our robot is named A.L.F.I.E. which stands for Articulated Lift For Intense Entertainment.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Team 3021 named our robot "Atlas"

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

As noted earlier in the thread, we're "Peabody". Hope to ally at championships!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Ironically, our team voted on "The Pickup Line".

Runner-up (which I personally voted for) was The "SS Gaylord" where "SS" stood for "Sexy Stacker." Gaylord is another name for tote.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robots name is BARF. It stands for Bad A** Robot Forklift. We are really bad at coming up with names. :-)

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Team 1708 named their robot "Kryponite" and will have a reveal video soon. *hopefully* :)

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Is that bad, or ba-ad? Perhaps the first, as I don't see any reason to name a robot after John Candy's character in Spaceballs.;)

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We named our robot "Robo-Spierre" because puns

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

I think I'll compare our bot to the Oscar you mentioned rather than this from now on.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

#SwaggadoccioVII

It's our 7th year as a team, hence the VII, and We always have Swag or YOLO in the name. This year we got a mill and used a stencil font to cut the name of the team into the chassis. The best stencil font we could find was "Braggadocio," hence the name.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We named our robot "The Godfather" after our sponsor Godfather's Pizza who donated 100 pizzas to us.

In keeping with out Lion King roots.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Team 3293 "The King of Sting"

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Always glad to help. Though a bit ironically, my daughter Veronica is working on an Oscar the Grouch costume launched from the recycling theme this year.

My favorite firefly character, with closest competition being Mal. Then again, I really liked River, Zoe, Wash, Shepherd, Jayne, Inara, and even (after a couple of back story bits) Simon. How can a series with so many interesting characters be canceled so quickly? :sigh:

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

"The Bus".

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

I wanted it to be "The Birthchild of Everyone"

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

MARVIN VIII... Going with tradition :)

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

The original name for our robot was RIPTIDE and now that we have made some pretty serious changes we renamed it Sarcastabot because we just kept going.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Whiteout.

The robot is predominantly white, and the snow in New England had a dramatic effect on our build season.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Mmm - Pizza...

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot's full name is Centurion droptables, or Centurion for short. It is named for both the Centurion tank and the roman warrior and the droptables if for all you coders out there :cool:. We will have some pictures and our reveal soon.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We cycled through a few.

Originally, people wanted to name it Atlas. A few members and I shot that down because I predicted it'd end up being too common a name.

About week 4-5, people suggested Murphy, because all that could go wrong, did go wrong.

After the amount of chaos this season, the disorder created by the immense changes from past games, the tendency of stacks to fall over, and to start a new tradition of naming robots after physics terms (last year was Impulse), we named the robot Entropy.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot is named Otis.
One of our major sponsors is United Technology.
One of their subsidiary is Otis Elevator.
We have an elevator for a lift.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We don't have a name yet. :,(

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Against my wishes, my team has named the robot Shia LaBOT because... I have no idea, teenagers are weird.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

"Hola Hola G'Dala"
or
"2Chains"

I don't know why... something about teenagers, or rap, or something. :rolleyes:

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

The drive team combined their first names and created our bot's name:

T'Kayva (pronounced Tah-Kay-Vah)...

Pretty catchy...

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We name our robots after Greek deities every year.

This years robot is "Pricus" the immortal father of sea goats. He controls time and apparently sea fairing goats in tote boats.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Louis Gussett Jr. or B.W. Gus

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We named our practice robot Gumby because of the flex in the open frame made of esto-connectors.

Our comp-bot is named Louie, after the guillotine-like nature of our elevator car.

Re: Robot Names 2015

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

'enery the 8th (Henry) -- the kids said it looked like a guillotine :eek:

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

we named our bot FiFi. No particular reason other than one member started calling it that and it stuck.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

This year we took a very ambitious route and built 2 different robots. On Saturday night we liked the front end of one and the back end of the other and merged them. The result was......FRANKENBUNNY!!!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We name our robots after dragons, so this year, we went with Toothless.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

The German students beat out the Latin students on our team, and so we ended up with

Gabelstapler (forklift)

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our practice bot is named "Guillotine" because it could easily become one if the clamps holding up the elevator get loose while electrical team is wiring it :yikes:

The more-refined competition bot is named "Phantom" because of a little thing you might see in our soon-to-be-released reveal video...

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

HEIMDALL!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

WOBOT:) has named their robot WOwinkle inspired Bullwinkle the moose!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

The Sandstorm. After Darude Sandstorm, which we have been playing nonstop all season.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Clawdius Caesar.

The Bowbot! 🎀🎀🎀

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Officially/technically the name is Talon XVI.

But a group of the students have nicknamed our bot Planet Fitness... because "we pick things up and put them down". :yikes:

Personally I would opt for Hans and Franz for the same reason (the original from SNL, but they might not be old enough for that reference).

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We haven't officially decided yet, but E15a is my favorite of our choices

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Otis.

We're sponsored by UTC Otis Elevator Service Center.

And we, like most, have an elevator.

Also using Otis from Cars as our model for Imagery.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

An inside joke between those who have showed up to the Pre-Bag Expo Scrimmage dealio has been that we've been over-ambitious in our robot design and that this robot will die from said ambition.
Therefore we have unofficially dubbed our robot "Julius Caesar"

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Swervin Mervin

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our team is proud to have taken out the name Garbodor.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our robot's name is The Beach Master. Although our team is keeping our robot under wraps until Dallas and Colorado, I can tell you that it is beacuse our robot is big, ugly, loud, and very much fits the description that this short video will provide.

I might be calling my own robot some things that might not sound great but we were not trying to make something that pleased the eye we were trying to make something that was efficient and effective.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

See:

Local priests may not be available for impromptu exorcisms in the event said "Phantom" manipulates the robot.

Nom Nom. You'll see why on Premiere Night.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

TRNT, which is an acronym for A Robot Named TRNT

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

In keeping with our long standing "medical" theme...

Hematologist - He-Man for short.

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Caerphilly

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

And the 2015 robot name for Miss Daisy is..............
MISS DAISY :ahh:
We named our robot miss daisy like 15 years ago, so then we would be driving miss daisy like the movie. Then we named the team after the robot, so we can't really change it. Good thing we like the name:D

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Being the Power Hawks, and because our robot is 6'6", only one name really made sense:

Tower Hawk

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

We named our robot Alvin, after the county superintendent who drove our robot at the team's open house!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Originally we were going to name ours the Two Towers from LOTR since we have our internal stacking area and our electrical housing area which were two "towers" but we voted against it.

We have an internal stacking system that we use, and to reach out for the totes we have a horizontal scissor lift with a pneumatically controlled claw on the end of it, and for a lot of people it reminded them of Alien from Alien vs. Predator and I think we've narrowed it down to Alien, Paul (like the movie about the alien named Paul), or Xenomorph (the species Alien is in AvP).

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Quasar

One of the most successful offseason BunnyBots in team history was named Quasar, so we decided to give this robot some good luck by naming it that. Reveal video should be out soon!

Re: Robot Names 2015
 

Our team was considering naming our robot 2Chains, but then we removed a chain.
