Robot names?

[Enigma's puzzle]

Porkey the Robo Pine

[Clem1640]

We name our robot DEWBOT n (n = I, II, ... , VII). DEWBOT stands for Downingtown East & West (high school) roBOT.

We open a STEM school next year, which may lead to a change in this tradition.

2791's 2011 robot will be named Gene.


(as in Simmons... KISS... Get it?)

[IndySam]

We started naming our bots in 2006

2006 Wazoo, because we had balls coming out of our ....

2007 Randy, named after our teacher sponsor

2008 Lynn, named after the mother of one of our students who died that year.

2009 Wazoo II, see above.

2010 Igor, what hump.

2011 Woody, because the drive base will be made out of wood.

We named our robot McTwist in 2010 year, from a running joke about one of our mentors. 2009 was Orange Force, and 2008 was the Rip City Ape, for reasons we still don't completely understand. Sometimes, our robots (especially in FTC) are named for their mechanical idiosyncrasies. Our 2008 FTC robot was called Squeaky because of its incredible squeaking gearbox. In 2010, we named our robot the Crushinator, for its obvious crushing abilities.

We have always named our bot here...well mainly me... haha. Since 2252 is the Mavericks we always chose Western Names.... but we don't know yet because we normally make jokes about it mid-season.

We have a whole list! We probably won't be deciding for a while though. We have a lot of names... this year, there's three robots we need to name! (the FRC bot, minibot & our USB hub robot)

[AcesJames]

Most of 176's robots have had to do with our team name, Aces High.

Aces High can be taken two ways. The first representing the flying Aces of WWII, and the second being the poker term Aces High.

Recent robots:

Ace
Ace of Spades
Pokerface (2006, pre-Lady GaGa, I swear )
The Red Baron
Blackjack


This year, our robot's named Red Baron II.
The robot will carry the theme with red frame pieces and coverings with designs similar to that of the original

The robot will be "Kilroy," as always.

And the minibot will be "Kilboy."

The 2009 robot went by the name "Redemption" after our, well, um, apparently the team did put a robot on the field in 2008, contrary to results. Some members called by the name "Mephistopholes" since the 2008 robot was "Dante."

I like looking at our last two years, and this year, as the Redemption Series. The goal of the name is to build the team from the ground up, back to a level of function admiration and respectability.

2010 never was officially christened, but "Ahab" was usually used. We had a pretty killer harpoon kicker (that worked once), and there was some salty language to be had during the sort time it had to be built. It was also a tough, crazy robot. Very overachieving.

2011, our build lead has chosen "Gurren" for the hostbot and "Lagann" for the minibot.
For those who don't know, it comes from the anime Gurren-Lagann, and the reasoning behind its usage can be seen here.

Our robot is called "A pile of cr@p"

[rabridges]

This year the students decided to name the robot after a mentor, the robot's name is Bob-O-Matic. The mini bot's name is Mini Kraken.

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.
