Robot names and Team mottos

[safiq10]

This year the Devastators named our robot Roman
Why you ask because we are a defensive team that be "Roman" around the field playing defense

I didn't see a team mate post ours so ...

I am unaware of previous robot names or mottoes but this years name has a story:

If you attended the Groton, CT District you know that we had a spring loaded catapult that was pulled back by a pneumatic cylinder and held in place by a 300# magnet that was mounted to a pancake cylinder to pull it from the catapult.

This magnet looked very much like the Arch Reactor. So when coming up with names for the bot we thought: "Iron Man" or "Tony Stark". Whule chewing on that one of the mentors called out "Robot Downey Jr." and we all died laughing so it stuck. We changed to 2 pneumatic cylinders to fire the catapult after Groton but the name stuck.

As many are aware, this years motto is: "truss and destroy".

Motto: Cogito ergo robots. (I doubt most of the team knows this, but kids picked it back in 2007).

1551 robot names don't follow much of a pattern, though since noticing that our robots with female names do better than robots with male names, all of our robots are female. (This year, she's Isis.)

[Woolly]

Our robot name is B-2.

We have a motto, but no one ever quotes it or anything.

We went a little....adventurous with our robots name this year:
W1N5T0N Woodrow Norbert YOLOtron Humphrey 5th, esq.

We call him YOLOtron for short. Our practice bots name is YOLOtronica.

With a name like that, we of course use the "YOLO" team motto but the perfect formula for our team is "YOLO Kaizen". We balance being process oriented vs. thinking on our feet to take advantage of opportunities.

Also, there's "Small Force, Big Leverage".

Fans of Little Brother?

Our main robot this year was named "Ratchet" and our practice named "Clank."

Our previous robot's names have nothing to do with each other, and range from "Th Burd" to "Queen Hannah's Revenge" to "Heather"

To rally up our team, some one yells "Where's the battery!?!?" where everyone yells back "AAAAAAAYYYY."

Previous motto: "But it worked in Inventor!"

[Koko Ed]

Our robot's name is SphinX and our theme is FIRST Pyramid of Success.

[CamdenK]

Typically the bot is named after old woman names, but this year we went with Reptar, after somebody on our team said that our pneumatic passive climber looked like a dinosaur

[Iaquinto.Joe]

Our robot name is Audrey, after the monster from The Little Shop Of Horrors.

Our official motto on TBA is "Don't disturb the sacred geometry". Nobody knows how this came to be our team motto...

[w1n5t0n]

Our (Haywire, 1569) robot is called Valkyrie and our practice bot was Captain Sidewinder. Unofficially our logo is "It's good enough." because that's all we said while building our practice bot.

robot name:alpha strike. When you saw it, you have to whisper it, softly.

team motto: "I don't know what you're talking about" said sarcastically of course . or "it's fine...." when it clearly isnt.

4531's motto: "Quid faceres si non timeret?" or "What would you do if you did not fear?"

[That 281 Guy]

Since we are The GreenVillains, and outreach is a major part of our team, our motto is "Infiltrating Young Minds One Robot at a Time".

As for our robot name, this year we were planning of having a pyramid climbing robot with a series of hooks attached to two chains. Because of this, a lot of people wanted to name the robot Two Chainz. We ended up not naming the robot that, half due to Two Chainz explicit music, and half due to the fact that we had to remove our 30 point climber before competition

We ended up naming the robot "Captain Hooks" after out 10 point hang system. We are thinking of naming all of our robots after villains now to continue with the GreenVillain theme.

[Jacob Bendicksen]

We always build a prototype and competition robot simultaneously (other than the prototype being a week and a half ahead of the competition bot), so their names always play off of each other.

This year we had Dante (the prototype) and Inferno (competition bot).

Our robot is named "Serenity". No particular reason, it was the best out of all the other options. I like it because it shows there's more to our gameplay than ramming into things and shooting fast projectiles (disks, nothing to worry about... yet).

Our team motto is from the days of old (i.e. 2010 or prior): "We will Graciously and Professionally Spike you"
