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.

Re: I anthropomorphize my team's robot as...
she
it
the robot
kats klaw
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".
