Old Man Notices A Thing: Lots of Robot Names

[Ari423]

423 has a tradition of letting our mentor's daughter choose the robot's official name. She is pretty young, so they are usually things like Bunny, Fluffy, or Pickles. Its funny to hear the MCs say the names of the robots and they're like "and on the Red Alliance, The Destroyer, Beast Bot, and Fluffy." They are often chosen before kickoff, so they rarely describe the robot well.

Since the name doesn't describe the robot, we also tend to give our robots nicknames based on their appearances. Some notable ones include: Fish Tank (it was basically a tall square frame wrapped in clear plastic), Toucan Looking Backwards (the intake looked like a toucan's beak facing backwards), and Arm Bot (basically a hunk of aluminum with a giant arm on it).

Not sure if 365 is aware of this but since 423 is always next to you in the pits we like to come up with alternative names for your robots. Some of the better ones I can think of off the top of my head are: The DeMOElisher, MOE Money MOE Problems, MOEstradamus, and MOEnetary Compensation. If you ever manage to run out of robot names, just hit me up.
