Naming the thing

[Mike Schroeder]

I have always just called it, Edu-Robotics Kit

[ZACH P.]

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

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".

I call it the EDUbot or the BetaBot .. it alternates ..

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

Actually, last season when we got the EDUrobot, our adivsor, Mr Kelly decided it would be a really good idea to get all the documentation and package it together into one bindser so everyone could easily see it all. He got all that printed off and hole-punched, and everything, but the binder was just too plain for Mr Kelly's taste and he made up a spiffy cover to go onto it. One problem. Instead of typing EDUrobot, he hit EUDrobot. Not too funny to someone who wasn't there, but we got a few laughs, and to this day it is still the EUDrobot (Pronounced YOOJ-ro-bot).

I call it the thing programing messes with.

i think your name makes it seem suitable in the next lord of the rings movie

i call it edubot

The thing is an EDUbot, and always will be...

unless.
In Business, all companies that have a name or product name longer than 3 sylables they are usually abbreviated or given a different name. like US First (you say it all cuz its 3 sylables. and other stuff like that. So, maybe BetaBot could take the place, but Ro-bo-va-tion? thats a long one.

At least thats what i've noticed.

EDUbot, the Nationals, and US FIRST (sorry Non-US teams ) just learned it that way and prolly will never call it anything different. Just like a mentor used to call a deburring tool, the whirlygig....it just sticks. Also, whirlygig....what a sweet name for a tool.

The new kits come in a plain white box.

[doyler]

eju bot, that is what it says on it, plus it sounds better

[MikeDubreuil]

I call it the mini-RC, but that's me

[JoeXIII'007]

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