Have you named your robot?
 

So the build season is almost over, and the robots should be fully assembled and running (in a perfect world). Has your team named your robot yet?

Team 1259 decided on ours tonight. O.D.O.R. standing for Over Dosed On Robotics. I know kinda weird but... you only get one robot a year so make it count right! Good luck the rest of the season.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours is called X-WhAAAt!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We're too lazy to name it. You guys can do that for us.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours has no name...officially, we call it Hurrican Bacon (after Mrs. Bacon, our coach), we even told the newspaper that was the name...she wasn't exactly "thrilled".

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robot is always called TOBOR this year it is TOBOR 8. The 1st year our team was around it was THOR but when we changed schools we changed the robot name.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Taurus.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We were supposed to have had one by last friday. Oh well, mabye we'll just use one of MOE's names. :rolleyes:

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our's is Fawkes!!!! You know, from Harry Potter, or the guy who tried to burn down parliament... both are pyro enough for us :D

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Killahtron :)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

ours is named kadunkadunk :D

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Team 1504's robot this year is named "Biggie" to fit with our "Go big or go home" motto!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Following traditional "Raptar"-ish theme, we've named ours "Kiryu" (pronounced "key-eww") after the Mechagodzilla Unit in the Godzilla X movies. Look for Kiryu tomorrow at DC, he's holding up well so far!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We always name our robots after famous scientists or engineers. This year the bot is Thomas Edison, or just Eddie. Last year was Leonardo Da Vinci.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

ours used to be called C4 for some reason. Now its Larry 1.0 because Larry was our old mentor, his Natn'l Gaurd unit went active.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We named ours Olive. Well, we were in a meeting and somebody suggested it and nobody had anything better so... Olive it is! Olive and I have a good relationship. It's short term as of now but I think this one could really blossom into something. The way she moves so gracefully across the field. I think I might just ask her what she's doing friday night.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Cattus Petasatus - Latin for: "Cat in the hat"

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robots name is CRICK or Francis Crick, Our team name is WATSON so our theme is DNA WATSON & Crick were the people that discovered DNA. Our motto fits in with that Defying New Altitudes or Discovering New Accomplishments. We also thought it would be good to have our robot named in honor of Francis Crick's Death this past year.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our team, 399, named our robot Mr. Clean. We named it after one of our students, his nickname is mr clean, that was diagnosed with leukemia last summer and got a bone marrow transplant. So it was kind of something for him.

The REALLY REALLY Evil Machine.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We opened up the naming of the robot to the student body. I had the students submit entries and what not. After a while, the team took all the entries and decided on one. ALICE. I think it has something to do with Alice in Wonderland. They also decided to call the team, THE LOOSE NUTS. :)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

I think ours is named "Watch out it's an elephant!"

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We're leaning towards Elliot...

Re: Have you named your robot?

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our is CRtec-2 (Curumin Tech 2)....

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

I'm not sure if this is official yet, but one day I opened my big, Latin student mouth and suggested that we name our robot Apollo, because he's the Roman/Greek god of science and the arts, and Holland High, we're a pretty artsy school, so I thought it was a good reflection of the school. Unfortunately, one of the sponsoring teachers took me too seriously and said that when Apollo #13 was built we'd name it Apollo 13. :ahh::eek:
Not what I had originally intended. :(

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

At West Ottawa in Holland, Michigan it's impossible to get my team to agree to a name other than Wo-Bot *sweatdrop* But I give it a cool name every year ^.^ I'm the only one who uses it though... :)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Yeah...PROTEGE2 (Yep, it's supposed to be all capitals; it's an acronym.). But some people don't like the lack of originality (myself included). Here's the great debate at our website: http://railerobotics.proboards42.com...m=1105983 141

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our team named our robot Excalibur to fit our team name the Robo Knights. It also goes along with our robot last year The Black Knight.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

"Black Widow" ...once you see the final robot, you'll understand why
(and no, its not because the wires for our electronics are in a "web" like the first pictures we posted! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pi...&quiet=Verbose)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours robot (Team 404) is named Victoria.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

This year, we've named our robot Jimpulse.
It is spoofing off of our physics teacher's term "Pmomentum"
And our shirt has one of the equations for impulse on it, J=(delta)P

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

not yet but im voting for pest machine

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

this year, its Roccobot 2k5. last year, it was Roccobot 2k4. next year, it will be Roccobot 2k6. :) you get the point.

the "Roc" stands for Rockledge High, and the "co" stands for Cocoa Beach High, and the "bot" part shouldnt need an explaination... neither should the "2k5" part. :p

its tradition... it will never change. :)

yes, Roccobot is the name of our robot not the name of our team.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Team 836 The Robobees have yet to name our 4th robot.
1.Bee Bot
2. B.O.B (battery operated bee)
3. Spirit
Some possibilites for the 4th are
B.O.B II
B
Gotcha

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours is Pa-10. If you don't know why, go ask MA (team 1402).

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robots name is always Chuck, however we have a sub-name or sub-theme to denote the years to distinguish the Chucks. 2005 shall be dubbed "Chuck VII Reborn".

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

ours is sir-staX-alot and the evil crossbow of doom.
it's crossbow for a reason
it's my husband =)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Following our tradition (of one year) of using names of Titans (last year our robot was named Atlas), we have decided to name our robot Themis. Themis is the goddess of order and justice as well as balance (we figured we'd need her help to keep us from tipping over). She's depicted as the blindfolded woman holding scales that you can find outside of the Supreme Court.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Sticking with our tradition, this is our sixth year so our bot is named Sparky 6.0. Look for us at VCU and Championship in Atlanta.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

we haven't named it yet. we are still thinking. we probably will try to do that on monday or thursday some point in time before ucf. our bot has personality that's for sure just needs a name to complete it that's for sure.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

i believe our robot is called ED 6.0

ED stands for Epsilon Delta

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

It didn't have a name until today's practice tournament in Bellevue. Based on comments from other teams, our 2005 entry is now known as "Wooden Thunder."

I can't imagine why...

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robot is named "The Claw" as always. I like it anyway. It's got a nice ring to it.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

scorpion----because we are the pioneers and they probably encountered scorpions

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

some of you may already know this but...THE PREDATOR

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We have this giant harpoon thing on our bot, so were thinking about Ahab(you know, the crazy dude from moby $@#$@#$@#$@#...), but its nt final

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

As Modish said our robots name is ODOR. for Over Dose On Robotics. :D

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robot is named "I, Roybot" - inspired partly due to the book, the song (oh yeah!), the movie, and our High School name and town which is called Roy. Can't really say the vacuum cleaner had much to do with it though. Our team name is Roybotics - so it all just kinda fit together.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

actual name is ICE, but unoffical name is Zip Tie the Robot, for unknown reasons <.< >.>



ok, ok, because when we were starting, it was all put together with zip ties, lol......

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our team really hasnt decided on a name, but we all have seriosuly considered GLAGH after a teacher that passed away this year at our school.

He always wrote it on the board before a test....

Good Luck And Good Hunting

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

I think ours is "Tina"

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We decided to name robot High Maintenance. A truly fitting name for one of Team 617's robots:)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robot is Tarkus, named after the world's niftiest steel armadillo...

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

The Legacy of Vertigo continues, so 1495's robot's name is Vertigo II or V2 for short.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

909s robot is "Nikko" this year...supposedly the leader of the winged monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. We were OzBot last year.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our project code name is Mantis II... I don't know what we're actually going to name it....

The last name I can remember is "Lou's girlfriend" (long story) from about three years ago.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Team 1598 named ours Talon to kind of go along with our school mascot. I dont really mind cause it looks really cool on the side of the robot. :D

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Hey everyone, this is Melanie from Aces High 176, just registered on here.
Well we named our robot P.G.B.I.F. (probably gonna burst into flames) it's a name we've had for awhile but has never gotten picked till now. so we hope P.G.B.I.F. will be good to us this year an not burst into flames..haha
well nice seeing the website..looks good..catcha later.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

every year except for 2001, our robot has had a different name, in 2002 it was black beauty (it was covered in black lexan), 2003 it was jawz, 2004 we named it rio and this year we have not figured out a name for the bot

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

im not quite sure whether we have named our robot yet.... their probably decided right now.... ill find out tonight thats for sure!!!!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We've been arguing it out for 4 weeks... Currently we're split into 2 camps:

The main camp is currently gunning for "Alter Ericius ut est Furtim" which translates from Latin to English as the "Second Hedgehog Which is Stealthy", a tip of the hat to Stealth Hedgehog, which was our robot a couple of years ago.

The other camp wants a reference to united in the name, which is currently being bashed down due to it being led by Manchester United and Cambridge United fans.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

eh, do we even have a name??? not sure... :confused:

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Last year, it was The Red Tulip.

This year, it's The Red Mantis.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

divine intervention. b/c that's what it will need to operate the way it's meant to, lol. :]

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

today, we had a team meeting while waiting for the fed-ex guy to show up. after several stupid sleep-deprived suggestions (about 10 people spent the night finishing the robot), we decided to name it "Kara," our engineer's daughter's name. i think she's about four years old. She hangs out with our team and was at the lab yesterday and today.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Our robot's name is 'Crossbow'. The arm kinda looks like it and we were kinda looking for something to tie into our Ammoknights feel.

www.ammoknights.com/crossbow.jpg

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours shall be called the "Sad Walrus" because they tried to make some Sabre jaws for the front but in my opinion it looks like a sad walrus instead... anyways it says Sad Walrus all over the inside of the crate so there isn't any other name! Buahaha!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

well i missed the day we voted for the robot and i really didnt like the outcome but w/e. we, i mean they, decided to call the robot S.O.S., which is usually a distress call. But for this it stands for son of shazbot, one of our earlier robots. I just have a feeling it is going to haunt us during the competition.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We now seem to be going for "Eric", short for "Ericius", which translates from Latin as "Hedgehog". No one has objected to it... yet.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

or Eric the Hedgehog even

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Well yes, Denman, that is implied by the translation... Eric the Hedgehog is more of an affectionate term, but officially it looks like being Ericius...

If you follow? If you don't, ask Raven.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Do we get to sing various sonic themes?


How about "This Machine"

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

I don't think that's part of our plans right now DMP...

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

B.O.B. (Build on Brains)

BOB is BOB is BOB......

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Well the school's mascot is the Red Devil. The team name is the RoboDevils. So what else could we call a beast like this but the "Devils' Tower" !

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

El Chupacabra!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours is called S.A.R.T.A.N.Y.A.C. 3000. We were going for the most obnoxious acronym we could think of, and it stands for Super Awesome Robot That Always Needs Your Aluminum Cans. We named it this because our mind fundraiser was a recycling drive so we decided to use a can theme throughout. We tacked on the 3000 because it sounds so cool (and cliched!).

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We have chosen: R23PO

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We named ours Scorpius, it reminded us of a scorpion, then we changed the frame to reduce weight and now it looks like a VW bug.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

This year our robot is Interface.

Last year we were Chaos. Not a bad name for a rookie team.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Yeah well, the past two years at HHS we've been operating on unofficial names. My freshman year the robot, unofficially was named Zeus, last year it was unoffically named Orion, and fortunately, they didn't listen to me and my lame Apollo idea and we're thinking of either calling it VERN 2.0 or the Wonkavator (long story there). :)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours is Meshach, after Meshach Browning, the "famous Garrett County hunter". We're a rural county.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Ours is Deeper Thought, not too much different than last year's name. We usually decide on a name before we even building the robot (where got some novel suggestions such as "Cupcake" or "#######").

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Hansen Hummer^2 or H^3.
After Rick Hansen (our school) and General Motor's Hummer 2 (our sponsor)

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

OURS 1559 IS SHADOW CLAW!!! BUT I WANTED TO NAME IT LUCIFER LOL

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

ours is Badunkadunk. its named after the sound the 4 train (which most people take to school) makes when it rides along the uneven tracks in the bronx.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We named ours Huh? since that was the response the mentors got every time we asked the students what we should name it.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

That would be a great pairing with our bot X-WhAAAt!!! Anybody name their bot Who, Where or Why?

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Im from Team 319 and his name is Bob

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Yeah my team just named ours. "Agora Tracer IV"- it has layers upon layers of meaning. Two of the main problems we had in this season were funding and programming. Agora relates to these two problems through its definitions: both the programming language and the currency. Our bot commemorates fixing both of them and serves as a monument to the future teams to always keep on trying like our team did. IV was put on there because its my lucky number and one of our team members is a IV.

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

Suprised Paul hasn't chimed in on this yet...

The ThunderChickens have named our '05 bot "Thor" due to it's butt-whomping "hammer", and its "Thundery-ness" ... yeah

Dr. J

"Dr J... scoring at will!" - VCU announcer :p

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

We have a tradition of using obscure movie quotes to name our robot.
The names do err on the side of being uncouth if you know where they came from, but I can live with that.
Last year, the name was Uncomfortable Hunk of Metal.
This year, it is Charlie Foxtrot.
Go Dukes!

Re: Have you named your robot?
 

I saw Dr. J on the Webcast and I would love to show my team some pictures of it, but you guys have yet to post any.
It is so much like a design our team almost built and it works so nicely that I'd love to see pics if you can direct me to them.
Thanks in advance!
