Re: Old Man Notices A Thing: Lots of Robot Names

343's students always name our robots and we generally try to name them something relavent to that specific robot, for example our 2015 robot is named Armstrong, it has big arms, our 06 robot is named cyclone, it has a spirally thingy that brings the balls from the floor intake to the shooter. I personally love the robots having their own unique names that make them easily identifiable and it allows for "dedication" to someone as we have done twice, 2010, John O'Connor, JOC, a former student who died in a car accident, and 2007, Andre, the janitor who helped us out ALOT.

I will say that I do not remember the names of other teams' robots and refer to them simply by team number then year, however I do know the robot names for most of our 17 competition robots and I refer to them by name most o the time.
