What follows is a rather amusing idea from Joe Hall, one of our teams seniors. You guys will probably be amused:
________________________________________
I say we name our autonomous programs after soviet dictators..
Lenin: Bravely ventures forth to crush the capitalist ball trigger and return the people's balls to their rightful status, then trips the main circuit breaker...
Stalin: In a series of coordinated five second plans, proceeds to pop the bonus ball, flip over the goal, and then works on shoving the other robots off of the field, even the friendly ones...
Malenkov: Forcefully protests the entire robotics competition, works for three seconds, then mysteriously shuts down the robot and disappears...
Kruschchev: Ignores any attempt at line following and simply rushes headlong into the opponent's zone, only to crash into the wall and tip the bot over..
Brezhnev: Goes over and knocks the ball off quickly and effectively, spends time gathering balls, then proceeds to flip the teammate's robot over for subversive behavior...
Andropov: Wanders around the playing field boldly and stridently, albeit without purpose. Gradually slows in speed until the robot is no longer capable of motion by the end of autonomous...
Chernenko: Drives back to the pit, searches for a keg...
Gorbachev: Continuously drives into wall, while encouraging teammates to do whatever they wish...

This sounds quite offbeat, but we had very unique names for our autonomous programs last year as well. Some examples were "Operation Free Iraq" and "Electronic Couch Potato".
How do you guys name your autonomous programs?
