Old Man Notices A Thing: Lots of Robot Names

[GreyingJay]

Interesting thread.

I do think robots should be named. It's fun. However, when referring to other team's robots, we generally just refer to the team number and the game. It would be too hard to also remember robot names and correlate them. For example, I would refer to "1114's Recycle Rush robot", not "Simbot Sideswipe".

We named our first robot (for 2016 Stronghold) "Mergius Maximus" and I suspect our future robot names will try to play with the "Merge" theme. We'll see how well that works

Back in 2009 when 1678 became Citrus Circuits we have been naming our robots after citrus in some fashion.

2009: Lemon Squeeze: Juice Master 1678
2010: Orange Crush
2011: Optimus Lime
2012: The Juicer
2013: The E-Lime-O-Nator
2015: Lemon Drop

We have had 2 memorially named robots in the last few years.
2014: Beca, named for my late wife.
2016: Adrian, named for a former team member turned mentor of the team.

I've got some good citrus themed names I've been wanting to use for years saved up.
