Re: Robot names?

Our 2009 robot was named Cthulhu, after the Lovecraftian horror. It did fairly well, making it to the semifinals.

Our 2010 robot was named Admiral Ackbar, after the Rebel commander at the Battle of Endor. It experienced technical difficulties, and did not do particularly well.

Thus, it will be more favorable to name our robot after a fictional cosmological being than after a fictional mortal. We have yet to test the effects of naming the robot after a nonfictional person.

This year, I'm thinking Yog-Sothoth, keeping with the Lovecraftian theme.
