Robot names?

[Graciebot]

Who's naming their robot this year? Anyone come up with any clever names?

[mayde]

You can't name it until it's finished!!
Last year, we couldn't even decide if it was male or female for a while.
after he was finished, we named him Michealangelo partly because he's such a work of art (due to our beautiful custom galvanized chassis and homemade wheels) and partly because one of our mentors Mike was so great the whole season.
The year before that, the robot was named Romar mod6, after our lead programmer Enmar (like Robot Enmar) and mod6 because he was dramatically modified six times.

so it really depends.

Last year, we named our robot Weeble since 'it could wobble but it couldn't fall down'!

However, we usually don't name our bots until they are at least 3/4ths done (I think), and it usually involves some type of unique quality or ability that the robots has.

We usually don't name our robot until it has a defining characteristic. However, a name that has been tossed around a lot lately at base camp has been Dr. Evil (and Mini-Me for the minibot(s)).

We were thinking of naming our bot "princess" but, i think we'll save the names for the end.

We normally don't come up with one until week 5 or later, but this year we pretty much settled on one at Kick-off. Quite fitting for the game, too.

Looks like I'm new to the team never hear that nameable the robots, but we always laugh at the comparisons that people make when we take them at events! Compare our robo 2007 with an equipment that provides the weather 0.0

Our robot is always named MP4 until week 3. MP4 stands for My Pretty Pink Princess Pony.

Our last years was sharkbait, because of a sticker we had on it. It evolved into a chant and everything, none of it was planned haha.

We're thinking of naming ours " The World Champion "...

Good Luck

In our team, the privilege of naming the robot goes to our most generous sponsor.

We name it based on whatever is so amazing the entire team agrees on it.

Last year we named it Burn Bot because our school TV program did a Halloween episode where our robotics team "created" burn-bot, a robot which made witty comments and made fun of everyone in the school...until it walked so far away from our lab it pulled the power cord out of the socket and died.

This year, we have no idea what we're going to call it, but inspiration will come eventually.

[Stephen of REX]

Its gonna be "REX 6" this year, since its our sixth year and sixth competition bot. Although we will probably pick a better one, previous ones included "REX 4 the Win" and "REX 5 is Alive!"

We named it Samantha (Our leader was a guy named Sam) last year, Julian is the leader... It only makes sense to name it Juliana.

Last year, my team named our robot Sir Lancelot (going on the whole medieval theme because our school's mascot is a knight). We decided that year that we shall name this year's robot Sir Robin (as in Robin Hood--again, medieval theme).
