Re: Naming the thing
Definetly eju-bot... Robovation is too hard to remember and doesn't quite mean the same thing to me...

Our Edu-bot (as it is called) prefers to be called Willard.

Re: Naming the thing
EDUbot. I wish FIRST changes the name from Robovation to something else which clearly tells us that it is and "EDUbot". Robovation is just too long and takes too many muscles to say ... and is hard to remember...

If somebody came up to me "did you guys build a robovation bot?" I'd got blank for a while.. and then realize, but if they said "Did you guys build a EDUbot?", then I would give an INSTANT reply... oh well

I agree with you 100%, I mean, what in the world is a "Robovation bot"? It sounds so different than what others have always called it. Although i do believe that it'll just take some getting used to. Or, we could just keep calling it the "Edu-bot".

For those who do not know, the Canadian Kickoff has a competition using the EDUbot Kit, and it is called the BetaBot there ...

Re: Naming the thing
To be politically correct, I call it the EDU Bot, but I prefer 'minibot.'
