• Who's on FIRST?

Anything else?

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

maybe GTR!?! but... no... hhmmm...

<think> "FIRST Robotics - *name of the Game for the year*" or "FIRST(or FRC) Challenge *year* - *name of the Game" </think>

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

i've already said all those but no one sees it as a good idea... :o

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

Not personal. We're just thinking that a more general name which applies to all the years would be better, as we are planning on eventually gettting them all running (in the same program, via, uh, "game files" for lack of a better name :)).

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

I believe it's a spoof of Grand Theft Auto. Since FIRST is located in Manchester, GTA: Manchester.
I would not reccomend this name. There are too many negative connotations that go along with it.

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

The question of a name for the video game brings up a key point. Is your game's audience primarily FIRST-ers, or is it intended to act as a promotion tool for FIRST Robotics? If the audience is going to be primarily FIRST-ers, then any of the names on Astronouth's list would be fine. However, if the game will act as a vehicle for FIRST promotion, you might want to choose a title that better appeals to the public, i.e. not a random acronym, the meaning of which hardly does justice to the game itself.

EDIT: Write a mission statement so that we might better grasp the significance of this game, such as to think of an appropriate title.

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

Good point. It will definetly be for FIRST-ers, but there may be the opportunity to use this for PR type things. For instance, there was demonstrations of a FIRST competition up at the NASA Glenn open house last weekend. It would have been the perfect place for this, as you could have allowed visitors to try it out themselves... :)

Um, I'll make someone else do this, especially since I didn't really participate in the original thread. :)

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

How about "FIRST eXtended"?

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

FIRST Robotics 2004
FIRST FRENZY
or
FIRST Robotics 2003
Stack Attack


You know like the EA sports games, they keep a common title and slap on a different date, then add a describer.

Re: FIRST video game the name...
 

"FIRST World Champion Robotics"

"The FIRST Adventure"

"FIRST Robot Challenge"

"Who's on FIRST?" :p
