The words above originated from mostly one of the programmers, as the other two programmers and I were programming the robot too late into the night with a lack of sleep and food. or maybe too much food?!


And don't forget. "Betty the Awesome Panda". (Again, Lurch's words) As the arm on he bot was being tested One team member, Dan, was playing with some white board markers and was annoying Lurch (I believe) and was scolded: "Bad Panda!" which somehow evolved into "Betty the Awesome Panda".
I think it originated earlier that day but I was off in another room programming.
