Robot Names

[O'Sancheski]

hey guys... i was just wondering what all the teams out there are naming their robots, and how you came up with that name...
Team Paragon's 2010 robot is name is Scurvy... our first name was Capn' Hook because of the hanging arm and winch had a hook, and since our chassis looks like a boat we tried to go with a pirate theme... so we had to scrap the hanging part of our strategy because we were 8 pounds overweight and dropping the hanging mechanism killed 13 pounds off the robot... so we sat down and brainstormed some new name ideas (trying to stay with the pirate and boat theme). so we came up with the name Scurvy...

Our team got blasted by the snowstorm here in VA, and we lost near a week of time... we decided to honor nature with a little help from the daily show and we now call our bot "Snowtorious B.I.G."

Our team is sticking with the Wizard of Oz theme. Last year it was the Tinman. This year its The Wizard.

Well our FTC bot is named International Harvester, after the song International Harvester by Craig Morgan. It's a country song and somehow we ended up listening to it and they say our team name (Rhode Rage) in the song. Needless to say it stuck.

Nothing like hearing the announcer of the match call your robot International Harvester

We normally name our robots random things. The past 2 years have been Sasha and Ralph. I think Charles is this year's bot.

Team 2502's name for our robot this year is "Simba" and I have no clue why. The marketing team started to use it and we thought it was very decent.

We have been using the name of the MVF (Most valuable freshman) for the robots name.

Team 2333 from Sapulpa...

This year the robot name is CTRL+ALT+DELETE because we have decided to be computer themed this year That means our team name is now the Blue Screen of Doom and our motto is "You have encountered a fatal error."

Whoohoo! Blue Screen of Doom!!!
