Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

For some reason we have always named our robot the Black Knight (I,II,III, ect.), so technically we are the Black Knight VI, but we call White Lightning or Alabama Shine as it looks like a still. :D Our Principal and Superintendent didn't appreciate our humor. :(

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Our team has a working name that is used among team members, but we wouldn't want it announced in the arena :ahh: . Our robot's public name is Clyde, which refers to both our ball harvester (PacMan reference) and our basketball shooter (Clyde Frazier) :cool: .

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

There's a couple ideas floating around the team...

One: A big long acronym that no one knows what it means...
IDKWTM (I dont know what this means) for example

Two: BJ Bumpers... I like this one, it's cute :P
Three: Various screen names, Daru, Vadus, etc...

Others...

PSP... after the PSP comercial... because it's like cheese you can take with you... At least it is now, after "weight reduction" day... we had to cut 25 pounds ;-;

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

"Tubby". You get one guess why.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

We decided to call ours "The Red Dragon" again.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

"Katapult" the name is very fitting, if you ask me.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

We don't name our robot, because after all the hassles it puts us through, any name we come up with would be bitter and derisive...

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Our robot is named either ROFLBOT or Materilas. Materilas was a typo on one of our sponsorship packages, and we just found it a funny word. ^_^!
and ROFL... well, here's the official name writeups, lol.

Rofl Bot. Nerds will be nerds, geeks will be geeks, and hopefully all of you know the meaning of rofl. For those who don't use the Internet, it's a nice little acronym for "rolling on (the) floor laughing," best used nowadays as an over-exaggeration to make fun of really bad Net lingo. In this case, we have the hilarity of "rofl," the classic suffix "bot," and the name even plays on a fun little phrase: "rofl buttz." Pronounce it "roffle bot," kinda like a waffle. Nerds unite!

Materilas. Some of you may remember this one from earlier in the year. The sponsor package went out and included a graph about costs and things, which Andrew Neilson, previous webmaster, pointed out to contain, in big letters, the spelling error of "materials" to "materilas." Well, we all had a good laugh at Amanda's expense. Much like last year, this is another bizarre inside joke. It's pronounced like . . . mah-TEER-ah-liss. And it honours our PR Queen.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Team 648's bot name is....

Alice...

We felt it a very fitting tribute to Alice West, the wife of Neil West, who passed away last fall. d

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

We named our robot Aimbot - due to it's ability to automatically detect and open fire on the goal.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Ours is named Robot Man Jan - don't ask.
