Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...

I actually have a basis for my choice, a robot being feminine. Classically, American vehicles, whether by sea or land or air, are feminine. And clasically, ships carry female goddesses at their prows. Maybe its just overuse of the "She's sinking, captain!" and similiar lines which leads me to my usage, but it makes sense this way.

Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...

Well, we're Epsilon Delta, so our robot is ED, and ED is usually (though I'm sure not always) a male name, I think of our robot as a he. However, I'm worried that ED doesn't quite know his gender as there is a picture floating around somewhere of one of our EDs wearing a pink negligee...

Totally a "she".

Cars are shes.
Boats are shes.
Robots are shes.

Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...

Well
I'm saying he, because I have romantic inclinations towards my robot. Don't we all? I mean, if you spend more time with your robot than you do with the person you're dating, that says something doesn't it? Err. that came off wrong.

I really love teh Robot. His name was "Rowdy Pete" anyway, so it's a guy.

she
it
the robot

We call it basically whatever we feel like at the time. I refer to it as "it" a lot. But I must agree with JVN about calling everything a she...

Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...

I call it "it" sometimes, but rarely "She". considering all mechanical creations are "Shes". So yeah. =) Sometimes She, sometimes It. =D It evens out.

Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...

Not only are generally mechanical creations named she, our robot is named Miss Daisy. We've had he's (Tom Servo [2000] and Hephestus [2001]), but We've had female robots (Miss Daisy [2002], Miss Daisy II [2003], Miss Daisy III [2004]) for quite some time. My vote is for "She".
