Re: Robot Names

Our robot is named Mark Koors. In this forum, I think no explanation is necessary.

Years past:
2009 - Marvin (the Martian)
2008 - Homer (the Hippo)
2007 - Lollipop (our manipulator resembled a lollipop)
2006 - Lucky (fortune cookie read "Lucky is coming your way")
2005 - Critical Mass

Re: Robot Names

Ours has always been Burn-E (like Wall-E) because we are the Burning magnetos. But we are thinking about going with a penguins of Madagascar theme and naming ours Rico this year.

Re: Robot Names

2008-2009 - Son of Maverick
2007-2008 - Blackjack
2006-2007 - Ace of Spades
2005-2006 - PokerFace
2004-2005 - P.G.B.I.F. - AKA Probably Going to Burst Into Flames
2003-2004 - Mayday
2002-2003 - Wild Bill
2001-2002 - Ace - AKA Ankle-Biter
2000-2001 - Scorpion
1999-2000 - Red Baron
1998-1999 - Maverick
1997-1998 - Stevie: Son of Roy
1996-1997 - Roy
1995-1996 - Hook

As you can see, most of the names have something to do with either cards or airplanes, going along with the Aces High theme...Although some are just random names, and some have real names but then acquire nicknames, as is the case with Ace.

Oh, and for 2010, we've actually yet to pick an *official* name.

We still haven't picked a name for our 2010 bot; votes are currently split between Captain Falcon and Excalibur. I'm pushing for Captain Falcon.

Re: Robot Names

Our robot's name this year is ButtKicker 2010 edition. Just kidding, but the real name is equally bad...uh.... I love my robot, team, and country, but the name is just horrible. I wanted to name it Sqanto, but the team leaders (majority girls) decided on Elenor Dante Rigby 3.0.

Re: Robot Names

2009 was Cthulhu.
We haven't decided for this year, but we are considering Ackbar and Mephistos, among other things.

Re: Robot Names

While mounting electronics, we came up with Ultimate Skippy Robot of Doom. It was originally going to be skippy because some drive train problems made the robot do something akin to skipping and I just tagged on 'Ultimate - Robot of Doom' to the end as a joke and everyone liked it. I'm not sure if it's official though.

This is our first year so we didn't have any predefined themes but after reading everyone else's response it sounds like a good idea to have one. If we do decide to have one I'll push Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy until it can be pushed no more. Hello Petunia!
