Our team is sticking with the Wizard of Oz theme. Last year it was the Tinman. This year its The Wizard.

Well our FTC bot is named International Harvester, after the song International Harvester by Craig Morgan. It's a country song and somehow we ended up listening to it and they say our team name (Rhode Rage) in the song. Needless to say it stuck.

Nothing like hearing the announcer of the match call your robot International Harvester

We normally name our robots random things. The past 2 years have been Sasha and Ralph. I think Charles is this year's bot.

Team 2502's name for our robot this year is "Simba" and I have no clue why. The marketing team started to use it and we thought it was very decent.

[Adama]

We have been using the name of the MVF (Most valuable freshman) for the robots name.

We're unoriginal with our names and just name it according to how many year's the team has been around after an "El Toro"

Unfortunately, this year will be El Toro XIII <-- bad juju

Team 1540 (Flaming Chickens), tries to link our robots back to our name each year, with varying degrees of success.

2005 (rookie year) - Rocky
2006 - Free-ranger
2007 - Fowler
------ From 2008 on, we've built two robots, and named both the prototype and final----

2008 - Nemo and Dory
2009 - Epic and Fail (guess which one was the competition bot!)
2010 - Pyro and Spy

Our robot is named X-Force.

Team members nominate robot names (they are encouraged to either have it with an X or Cat themed) and the whole team votes on which name they like best. X-Force beat out Xidane (which is a variation of the infamous French soccer player). The lead mentor had no idea who he was and when they found out he was eliminated altogether as a poor representation of what we stand for,

[JamesCH95]

We've always named our 'bot after either an important scientist/physicist or in honor of someone who contributed to our team.

This year it looks like Schrodinger, aka Dinger, is going to win out.

[JohnFogarty]

aha this isn't the official name but once we made the treads we named it the KILLDOZER nut the reference to kill was in it so our mentors said no, I think it's the FIRST Tank or the Magic Tank ?? lol

[Team1710]

This year our teams theme is Top Gun. So every person on the team has a call sign that goes on our flight suits. It only makes sense for the robots name to be Ghost Rider because that is the name of the plane in the movie.

[Chris is me]

I'm pushing for "Power of H" or "Pinball Wizard", but nothing decided by the team yet. I guess there's a Big Bang Theory character tradition that would be broken, though.

[Bob Steele]

At skunkworks we have ( in the last 3 years) tried to tie in the skunk to our name

08 Das UberStinkTier (Super Skunk in German ...in honor of our German Exchange student Christoph!!) by the way .. none of the announcers could pronounce it correctly....

09 The Stench
10 Pele' le Pew
