Over the years we've had different names for different reasons.
2005..."MB" a student suggested "MB" for mechanical Bronco.
The school mascot is a Bronco horse...later we remembered that
the initials of the students name that came up with the idea were
the same...Mills Babb...go fiqure.
2006...We had so much trouble getting it to run right we ended up
calling it "Trouble"...odd thing is its been running like a "Timex"
watch ever since and its still going today...even after they ran the
thing off the stage at the high school.
2007..."Bleep" One of the students came up with the idea since we
couldn't use a Cuss word for it.
2008...never had a name...and didn't make it to finals. Oddly over the
years every robot we name makes it to finals and those we don't...
don't go to finals.
2009...did not build that year.
2010...no name....one of the mentors keeps calling it "the robot that
shall not be named" sorta a Harry Potter reference.
2011...."Bleep Jr."....named this because it was so much like the
2007 robot.
2012...."Trouble II" because it was a little like the original
"Trouble" and game.
2013...."Secretariat" for a couple different reasons...It was
a horses name which fit in with the school mascot...Also
it was the name of a famous winning race horse and lastly
it was the name of the goofy horse that used to show up on
the old Craig Ferguson show. "Whos at the door?"
2014....This one was named after me in a way as a joke and also Frank
Merrick. One of our mentors kept calling me "Frank" in stead
of "Hank" by mistake...We decided to call it "Frank" because
of that mainly...but also "Frank Underwood" from "House of
Cards" became popular that year and it fit and when we went
to Worlds Frank Merrick visited us in the pits and signed it.
(Woodie signed it too! He had signed it earlier at VCU)
2015...."Todd"....for a running joke we've had with team 2363.
Their main scout was a student whos first name is "Todd" and
sometimes he didn't want to pick us for finals...then oddly we'd
go on to beat 2363 in finals. This year we finally played with
them in finals at VCU and won.
