Does your teams robot have an offical name?

[Cartwright]

We named our robot this year Richie X because of the founder of our team Scott Richie. At the end of last year, he moved schools to become a vice-prinicpal at another high school and resigned from the team. Through his nine years at Cyber Blue, the team grew in both size and ability, and so this year our robot is in tribute to him. The X is because this is our tenth year and almost all of our former robots have had a roman numeral marking the year.

Not yet. The vote was for "Posiden", but "Atlas" is under consideration.

Precision Guessworks, Team 1646 named our robot Scorponok since it somewhat resembles this character form the movie Transformers.

We wanna call it "what if" but our team captain isn't showing much excitement

Our bot this year is called Oscar after a certain surprise that people will see when we knock balls off in hybrid mode.

Last year, we named it Overkill because we over-engineered everything on it (got several awards because of that however).

Mannie

We've always named our robot Cornelius (#). This year, we did "Cornelius IV Again". Usually, we add 1 to the last # to get this one. However, because we won championships once and then became national finalists the following year using the name "Cornelius IV", we decided to use it again this year. Hopefully it brings us good luck =D

Wheelie Mammoth is this years. I guess it looked like one.
We had a good debate on the name this year. The runner up was Ifrit, the god of fire from final fantasy.

This year, our robot is named Lightning. We wanted something to reflect the fast-paced nature of this year's racing-themed game, and something that sounded cool.

Previous robot names and reasons:

07 bot: Dynamite. We had a whole cheer about how "the ÜberBots are Dynamite!"
06 bot: Chainey. There was so much chain in that robot. And it broke a lot.
05 bot: ChubbBot. Our main sponsor at the time was UTC Chubb.
04 bot: Marvin II. Named after the previous years' robot, Marvin, but then the second generation.
03 bot: Marvin. I don't really know how it got that name; I'd have to ask someone who was around then.

We're in between robot names currently...

At first we decided on Dread Pirate Robert ---- (I forgot the last part >.<) however we're contemplating changing it so somehow the word 'zip ties' can be used. The reason? Most of our robot is held together by zip ties!

Last year our robot was "Rosie the Riveted" named after the old '50s show: Rosie the Riveter. And also our robot was held by rivets last year.

[HotWings]

Rock Lobster, because we have to "claws" haha (And its really orange)

[lasereyes]

This is our first year, and we decided to call our robot Aurora.

[vikram31291]

Our robots starting this year will be a type of cheese, this year our robot's name is: Cheddar.

our old robots have been just blackpearl I, blackpearl II, blackpearl III, and blackpearl IV.

Our robots' names have always had some relation to their appearance and/or function:

2005- The Scorpion
2006- Clyde (from the orange ghost in Pacman, because Pacman ate dots, and our bot picked up balls)
2007- Johnny 5- the two suction cups in front made it look like the robot Johnny 5 from Short Circuit
2008- The "Land Shark". The painting on the claws look like shark's teeth, but it's on land, so...although some wanted to call it the Flying Tiger, after the P-38 (?) Flying Tiger where we got the paint idea.
