We named our robot McTwist in 2010 year, from a running joke about one of our mentors. 2009 was Orange Force, and 2008 was the Rip City Ape, for reasons we still don't completely understand. Sometimes, our robots (especially in FTC) are named for their mechanical idiosyncrasies. Our 2008 FTC robot was called Squeaky because of its incredible squeaking gearbox. In 2010, we named our robot the Crushinator, for its obvious crushing abilities.
