I thought this year's internal name was "The Finger"
Like how we refered to last year's bot as "The Washing Machine"
2003 was "The Winnebago"
2002 was the "Minifridge"
2001 is the only one anybody actually calls the Bobcat for some reason. The practice bot that year was "Petunia"
We also have the "Hexorcist" from 96 I think.
All these refer to either what it looked like to us or in the case of this year a mechanism that we just latched on to.
