Attached are more detailed stat sheets of each year's robot along with their accomplishments.

If I recall correctly, Mark Leon was the one who orginally called our 2003 'bot Evil Machine, and the name stuck. But you never know, could a new naming tradition start next year...?
I think that's slightly off; I recall 25, 343, and 494 making it to the finals in 2003, not 2002.

That said, 1293's robots have all had different names. No particular theme has prevailed between Bob, Ockham, and Chomp (and the latter two's practice robot, dubbed first Hockham, then Circumstance); it's mainly whatever the kids get behind around week two that tends to stick.
