It's not the EduBot anymore!
According to http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/robovation/, a company called Robotica, Ltd. owns the trademark EduBot, and therefore we are asked to refrain from using the name EDUBOT in relation to FIRST programs or competitions. Instead, we are to call it FIRST Robovation.

No more sending EduBot off with a wireless camera and telling it "God speed EduBot". Now I guess it will have to be god speed robovation. It will be hard to get robovation stuck in my head rather than edubot.

I think that just like almost everyone calls the Championship Nationals, everyone will continue to call the "Robovation" the EDUbot.

Suppose there is no chance of getting Robotica to help sponsor FIRST, huh?

Re: It's not the EduBot anymore!
Okay, so the name changes to stay legal. Is there more to it than a name change? Is there a Robovation competition coming? Is there more than meets the eye in this change? A new class of competition? The web site at InnovationFirst is not using this name yet.

Re: It's not the EduBot anymore!
I don't like that name change... I don't know... EDUBot just rolls off the tongue whereas Robovation I don't know... It just not the same... I'll probably still refer to it as EDUbot... I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE COMPETITIONS AND THE GAME THIS YEAR!!!

Re: It's not the EduBot anymore!
Hmmm...
Is Robovation the name of the FIRST Program - or is it the noun officially used to call the robot itself? |
Re: It's not the EduBot anymore!
I thought it was alway called the EDURobotics kit anyway.....

Re: It's not the EduBot anymore!
In Canada, because of the Canadian Kickoff, it is called the BetaBot so we have the BetaBot competition ... personally i like BetaBot better than Robovation ...
