Does your teams robot have an offical name?
I was just curious if any teams give the effort to actually give a name to their robots, and if so why did you name your robot that?
Our robot (team 2189) is still without a name! |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Yeah Team 1592 has
At first we started out with a random guy name-Bob Then we went to Molly because of froging molly next it was on to Larry because one of our past mentors named Larry passed away. Now it is Xena because we has to continue the girl guy pattern and we thought that we could stick up to the name having a tough robot and all. |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
While we have never voted on team names almost all of our robots have been given ad-hoc names which stick and end up being used on our website.

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Ours is officially named "Marvin" as in the Paranoid Android, but we usually just call it the robot or the boot.

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Our robot is named Occam VIII: Yottabott. We name every one of our robots Occam <number> starting with Occam 1 back in 2001. The name is in honor of William of Ockham and his Razor ('simplest solution is the best'). Then, our robots get a yearly surname; last year's surname was 'Deadline,' for example. The Yottabott surname is play on words that is only really funny to me (its pretty cheesy). Yotta happens to be the SI prefix for 1000^8 (10^24), and comes from the Greek word 'okto,' meaning eight. So, since it is our eighth robot, Yottabott seemed fitting.
To pick names, we usually just have a meeting where anyone can propose ideas and we have a vote for which one we like the most. Some names are nixed before going to vote for various reasons... 'Psychedelic Attack' is an example of one thrown out this year, due to drug-related connotations. This year, we also paired up team mottos with robot names and voted on them as a single unit. The runner up to Yottabott w/ the motto "Yotta brains, yotta brawn, notta yotta time' was The Razor (an occams razor reference) with the somewhat tounge-in-cheek motto "Raze the Bar" (I guess it is only funny if you are familiar with the 2004 game, but we thought it was humorous). In conversation we usually don't use the surnames. We just use the numbers (which handily coincide with the year of the competition) and say something like 'Hey is 3 ready for a demo or should we get 6?" |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We decided on the name Talon as a team. At first I thought it was sorta generic but after seeing all of the innovative and interesting things my team has managed to do with it, I am very proud of the name
|
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Two years ago it was Wazoo (because we had balls comming out of our Wazoo)
Last year it was Randy, named after our long serving and dedicated team sponsor. We still refer to these robots by their names. Couple of ideas floating around for this years robot. None are final yet. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
1618 has only named its robots since I joined the team last year, and even then it only really got underway late in the build period. The working title for last year's robot was "What Robot?", but the name was quickly changed to Uppercut at lunch on Thursday at Palmetto, for reasons painfully obvious to my chin.
The two robots the team built before my arrival are nameless; we usually refer to them as "the oh-five robot" (or what's left of it--not much) and "the oh-six robot" (which is still physically assembled, but hasn't been driven once in almost two years to my knowledge). |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We have come up with a name, and it is ...
"Fetish": Two years ago at a pre-season scrimmage our teacher decided to call our robot fetish. So now we have decided to name our robot "Fetish", in honor of our teacher. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Ours is always named either the Kil-A-Byte or Kil-A-Bot. Haven't decided which this year.
Although, at the 2006 debut of our autonomous scripting system dubbed RALFF (robot autonomous language for first) many people had the misconception that our robot was, in fact, named Ralph since every autonomous period our team cheered for ralff. Really rocked my socks that our team was cheering for a few Kb of code... :] -q |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We usually name our robot after someone associated with the American Revolution (loosely, anyway). If you get a team number like 1776, it's hard not to go with it.
The final vote hasn't happened yet this year, but it looks like the robot's going to be "Paul Rovere" (one if by lane divider, two if by side rail). Last year was Botsy Ross, and our rookie bot was Benjamin Franklinstein. |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
842 has named it's FIRST robots after people who have helped the team, yet are not the teachers, parents or others who directly receive a benefit from the team.
Our robots have been: 2003 Rosie: Named after a student who supported the team and raised funds, yet she was not a member. "I just think you guys are doing a great thing and I wanted to help." 2004 Marcos: An adult in the community who works at Intel and "adopted" us. 2005 Adam: The deceased son of a teacher at school who has donated so much time and support to the robot kids, especially the girls. 2006 Karen: Physicist, Ph.D., athlete, astronaut applicant, inventor and entrepreneur. She is the most upbeat person on the planet. She met us and volunteered to work with us. What a role model. 2007 Jerry: Karen's husband. Jerry is an architect and owns his own company. After watching his wife work with us, he became hooked. He is the most level headed, even tempered person on the planet. 2006 Virginia's DREAM: Virgina is one of those fantastic kids who strives to be graciously professional because it's the right thing to do. We are inspired by Virginia who works hard, contributes to the community, and excelled in high school. Virginia did not attend Carl Hayden. She was a student at another district school, North High School. A week before she was to start at Arizona State University (full scholarship), she was taken from her family, placed in a holding cell with 30+ female prisoners for four days (one toilet, no hygiene supplies) She remained there until she "voluntarily" signed deportation papers. She did not talk to an attorney, her parents were not allowed to see her. Eighteen year old Virginia was taken to the Mexican border with only the money she had in her pocket and the clothes she was wearing and forced to cross the border into Mexico. She did not know anyone in Mexico. Her high school started a campaign called "Where's Virginia". Virginia's story upset many of us, but there is nothing we can do. The students on our team decided that we would name our robot after her. Some of the old timers in FIRST might remember the Amadou story a few years ago.

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
MOE's robot is generally called MOE, but they all do have an official name, which has to have MOE in it. The names are nominated and voted upon by the team every year. This year we started with over 30 nominations, and everyone voted for their top three. The top three with the most votes were then voted upon again to get the final winner. It will be announced shortly, but here are the past names:
2000 - Big MOE (originally just MOE, but since it was the biggest we had ever built, it later got dubbed Big MOE) 2001 - Lil' MOE (smallest to date; it was built to go under the center bar for those of you who remember that game) 2002 - MOEhawk (it had two enormous wings to grab three goals at a time) 2003 - GeroniMOE 2004 - GizMOE 2005 - MOEbius 2006 - TerMOEnator 2007 - MOEzilla BTW, for those who don't know, MOE stands for Miracle of Engineering |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Just to add to Carol's post, brainstorming and voting on our robot’s name has always been part of our MOE spirit and team building. Since little kids always suggest names to us when we do community demos, the past few years, we’ve started asking for their input and even take chart paper to the demos and add them to our brainstorming list… they have great ideas and it’s a way to spark their interest in this year’s team and in someday joining a team themselves. MOE (Miracles of Engineering) was inspired by DuPont’s Miracles of Science slogan.

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Chuck has been Chuck since the kids decided that Charminator, for our major sponsor back in '97, was insufficiently muscley. Since many of the kids were wearing Chuck Taylor All-Stars, they came up with the name 'Chuck' for the Charminator and it stuck.
In our early years, we also had semi-scientific add-ons to the Chuck name, such as Chuck-R-2 and Chuck-PI, but then we were not easily recognized the following year with a different variation. We decided to stick with just Chuck. |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Team 166 kind of had a history of naming the robots "Tommy Hawk 1-5" every couple of years. Tommy Hawk being a play on words refering to the high school mascot, The Tomahawk.
We kind of grew out of that and haven't used it since 2004. 2005 - OTIS because of the style of our elevator. 2006 - Scorpio because of our shooter design. 2007 - Gemini because it was our first year building two robots. 2008 - Atlas because of the size of the trackball. I really would have liked to continue the Zodiac theme with Aries because of our gripper design, but the team voted on Atlas for our 2008 'bot. The names are only really used when refering to past years. Right now, and until we get to next year, the robot will be called "the robot". We start calling it by it's intended name when we build a new robot. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We did not have a name the first two years because we just had to build the robot with the numbers students we had. This year we have named the 'bot the Nebuchadnezzar (yes the Matrix ship) and are doing a theme around that this year.

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Our Robot's name last year was Vortex H-01, because our team mascot is the Tornadoes and were from Hammond and it was the first one. And it sounded cool
This year we are naming it Vortex H-02. Hopefully after next year they will retire the Vortex name because nobody on the original team will be there after next year, except for the mentors. |

I think its this, but I'm not really sure, that as long as we've been Built On Brains He has been called BOB. Every year it changes to old BOB and New BOB. This year was different though. We usually just keep last years BOB around until after the Championships or the next fall, but this year we had 2006 BOB until a week or two ago. Then it was old BOB (2007) and shooter BOB (2006). We usually don't start calling him BOB until he starts taking shape. He really does have a personality. I remember in my senior year (2005) his drive train would always "jump" every time we turned him on. Then the next year when we started getting to the programing and driving time we where expecting him to "jump" again. It worried us the first couple of times when he didn't, but it's easier to work on him when you don't have to block him up off the ground for testing in the pits. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
In 2002 our team had dubbed our robot "Maximus" taken from the film "Gladiator." It went perfectly with our roman image. From then until 2006 we had just called our robot Maximus or Max for short. Then we changed our image and have decided to call our robot MAC standing for the first letter our highschool, our machine shop and our main sponsor. Middlesex highschool, Ansun protective metals, and Cordis corp. MAC

Last year was M-Cat since the ramps made an "M" as they deployed.
This year will be dependant upon what weight we have spare for decorations, as without them niether name will make sense. They're based upon how we capture a ball. The 2 choices are Paws or Pounce, sticking with the robocat theme. The team hasn't voted though, and it might not even be either of those. |

Our '05 tetra-hoisting bot was Sir Lifts-a-Lot. In '06, The Regurgitator could collect balls off the floor and power them into the lower goals (from the same chute, naturally). Last year El Chupacabra used a nasty-looking stainless steel claw to pick up and hang ringers on the rack. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
In years past, we have always named our bot - (04) BOB, (05) Pedro, (06) Shorty, and (07) The BEEst, are the past 4 names. Yet despite that, we have always just been called the "Robobee" - this year, I think we are going to just go with that name and our Bee Hive (the pit) theme. Hopefully we will be able to compete with Buzz again this year. They can Buzz and we will be the Bee!

Our robot's name this year is ZePHyr.
We always try to incorporate the PH (Purple Haze) into our names. This year we all contributed, discussed, and voted the name in our website forum. That way we got input from everyone who was interested and it helped prevent our teacher from choosing the name. The last couple of years' choices: Mary... we added PHender to go with it and then PHunky's Dilemma. (Mary PHender, yup.) But 2008 = ZePHyr. And that was before Kick Off. woohoo. |

Bedford Express has named its robot each year. The past 3 years and this year we have named the robot after our coach Ellen Bacon.

Because the robot is not a hamburger or in competition with hamburgers our research tells we should be OK using the Baconator as a robot name. |

We named our robot this year Richie X because of the founder of our team Scott Richie. At the end of last year, he moved schools to become a vice-prinicpal at another high school and resigned from the team. Through his nine years at Cyber Blue, the team grew in both size and ability, and so this year our robot is in tribute to him. The X is because this is our tenth year and almost all of our former robots have had a roman numeral marking the year.

This year, our robot is named Lightning. We wanted something to reflect the fast-paced nature of this year's racing-themed game, and something that sounded cool.
Previous robot names and reasons: 07 bot: Dynamite. We had a whole cheer about how "the ÜberBots are Dynamite!" 06 bot: Chainey. There was so much chain in that robot. And it broke a lot. 05 bot: ChubbBot. Our main sponsor at the time was UTC Chubb. 04 bot: Marvin II. Named after the previous years' robot, Marvin, but then the second generation. 03 bot: Marvin. I don't really know how it got that name; I'd have to ask someone who was around then. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We're in between robot names currently...
At first we decided on Dread Pirate Robert ---- (I forgot the last part >.<) however we're contemplating changing it so somehow the word 'zip ties' can be used. The reason? Most of our robot is held together by zip ties! Last year our robot was "Rosie the Riveted" named after the old '50s show: Rosie the Riveter. And also our robot was held by rivets last year. |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
Our robots' names have always had some relation to their appearance and/or function:
2005- The Scorpion 2006- Clyde (from the orange ghost in Pacman, because Pacman ate dots, and our bot picked up balls) 2007- Johnny 5- the two suction cups in front made it look like the robot Johnny 5 from Short Circuit 2008- The "Land Shark". The painting on the claws look like shark's teeth, but it's on land, so...although some wanted to call it the Flying Tiger, after the P-38 (?) Flying Tiger where we got the paint idea. |

One of my FTC teams spent weeks struggling to get a problematic design to work. Finally, less than two weeks before our first event, they stripped the robot down to its components and started from scratch. The name of their new robot? "Plan B". I loved it.
"Captain Hook" has a big steel -- well, you know -- hook, and "Chopsticks" picks up rings using a gripping device that looks like -- any guesses? -- chopsticks. "Plan B" is funnier, though. |
Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
each year we(team 418) try and name our robots so that it correlates with the game or robot in some way, and so that is has a 'f' or "f" sound in it. we then replace that "f" wiht a "PH" standing for out team name: Purple Haze
2008: ZePHyr 2007: PHunky's Dillema 2006: Mary PHender 2005: RaPHael 2004: PHlappy we are still waiting for the year to name it "PHatty" or "PHailbot" |

Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?
We've been making a serious effort to make our robots resemble various animals. The names correspond to each theme.
2007 - Tube-A-Saurus Rex 2008 - BallFrog Simply putting eyes on our robots has given them tremendous personality, and made them more popular with our sponsors, community, and visitors to FIRST events. We have hundreds of pictures of little kids petting our robots. Those are good pictures to have for the Chairmen's Award... :) |
