Re: Does your teams robot have an offical name?

We have a long complex naming process for our robot involving nominations then an initial voting period then winnowing it down to two choices before we hold a final vote. It usually happens when we take the robot from our shop to a sponsor in week 5 to get it weighed precisely for the first time. We've broken the patter in the last few years but we try to name it something to do with red. For reference:

In general, we try to name it after some recognizable feature of the robot or just a cool name.

2007: Red Rover (cool name)
2008: Red Dragon (cool name)
2009: Red Hurricane (helix was kinda like a hurricane)
2010: The Commander (named after a mentor who was moving away nickname)
2011: Duck 'n Cover (robot looked like a duck)
2012: Dr. Swoosh (like Dr. Suess but basketball)
2013: Red Raptor (back to the roots of red; robot has a tall arm)
