Originally, I asked the high school students to come up with something. They came up with Eagles and Fantasia. Ech!
So I sat down one day in the Physics Club room at umass and started thinking of names they could vote on. One of them was Rambots. I came up with this name when I saw the Rambo poster on the wall

.
I also came up with other cool names that got voted down

:
Robot Dinero
Botman and Robit
FemBots
etc..
