"tusk", well, because... that's what it looks like lol. Its got two great big prongs of ball dropping on the front

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

we named ours "Juggs" or "Big Juggs" after the ball pitcher machine.... IMO the ball pitcher concept is overdone tho... .but building 2 robots and a 2nd year team doesnt leave much time for experimentation...

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

We dont have a robot name yet but we are leaning twords 'Black Magik' I hope :)

-Pavan

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Wow, that might just be the best robot name in the 'Verse.

Ours is "Vektor" - its significance depends on how you stress the syllables. If you say Vektor then duh, it sounds like "vector", like the ones our camera and multiangle shooter use to put balls through the goal. If you say Vektor, it sounds like "victory".

"To the vektor go the spoils."

This year we named our robot Zeus. Our team name is the circuit chargers and we're shooting so some how we got to throwing lightning bolts and voted Zeus over Thor. Our ball picking up mechanism is unofficialy refered to as Hermes, so I don't have to keep saying ball picker-uper.

Our coach is amusingly mistaken. We, the students, would love our robot to be announced by the team's name for the robot :D , but the adults have a different view on that one. :rolleyes:

We do love Clyde, though... :)

Good luck to teams and their robots at whatever regional you may be attending!

Re: So, what did you name your baby?

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

we named ours FLUX
it goes along with our theme of calling our robot a physics equation

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

For those that didn't see our pre-ship video, 229's robot this year has been named Irrational, Denominators little sister.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Sometimes it's important to have a silly name.

Our robot is Pedro.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
 

Archimedes- because of our Archimedes screw that carries balls to the launcher.

Re: So, what did you name your baby?
