[Phoenix Spud]

We've stuck with the theme that the real robot has to have an Aussie themed name while the prototype can have a funny name. Generally the prototype robot's name is determined by whatever becomes adopted, we never officially decide on it. In contrast, we create a spreadsheet where anyone can add potential names for the real robot. These names are then voted on by the whole team before adoption.

In the past we've had:
2010 - Wombot
2011 - That's Not A Knife(called T-NAK) and mini-bot spoon
2012 prototype - Mothslayer (One night while testing a moth dropped out of the air after we shot the ball!)
2012 - MATE (stands for MATE and the Engineers)
2013 prototype - 10 CIMs
2013 - Ikara (Aboriginal for throwing stick)
2014 prototype - Enterprise (The original catapult looked a bit like the star ship)
2014 - Maloo (Aboriginal for thunder)
2015 prototype - Cockroach (It looked like it had antenna)
2015 - Kosciuszko (the tallest mountain in Australia)
