Re: Where did you get the name for your robot?
Prior to 2011, robots went unnamed

2011: Ducky. Robot was cute, small, and harmless on the field.
2012: Sue. Named to honor our Lead Mentor's wife's contributions to the team, by putting up with our lead mentor's regular late nights.
2013: Link. Had an absurdly large linkage, which could probably do just as much damage as it's Nintendo namesake.
2014: Sailor Peg. Dropkick Murphy's reference. First year of New England districts, built with the intent of "Shipping up to Boston" for NE Champs, to "find it's wooden leg" (first and last 1687 robot with no wood onboard aside from bumpers). Sadly, it only shipped to Boston for offseasons.
2015: Whiteout. New team with white as a predominant color, and built in the most snow-impacted season I've ever been a part of.
