Every time I saw their robot with his picture on it during the webcast I cracked up.
Very well done.

That is wild. Must have caused many people to do a double take while walking about at VCU.

How did they decide upon Walken as their robot name however?

I asked someone from the team, apparently they just wanted a witty name for the robot. They sure did a good job; it's probably my favorite robot name ever.

Re: pic: Team 1522 - Fear the Walken
Originally, it was an inside joke between a couple of our team members, then it snowballed into an email to christopher walken himself, large posters all over our school, naming of the robot, and later even more pictures at the competition. The announcer at the VCU regional had some problems pronouncing his name, errors such as stephen hawking, but hopefully you got the point.

I'm glad you all like it, even if it was confusing to some of you. Get ready for more cowbell at Georgia!

I remember someone from 1522 coming to pit admin asking about that. I had problems trying not to laugh for whatever reason, though I felt bad for both 1522 and the announcer in question.

I won't be there but I'll be looking forward to seeing it on the webcast/in pictures.
