2003 Robot Names

We’re gonna call ours “The Shizzznit” if they’ll let us. If not we’ll come up with somethin’ else

We actually have quite a few ideas and can’t decide between them.

  1. The Resonnant Squirrel (a big school inside joke)
  2. Your tax dollars at work (FAK’s idea)
  3. Swiss Cheese: The Reckoning (last year and again this year, the robot gets the drill diet)
  4. Maverick (our school mascot–which is SO lame).
  5. Some sort of 8-Bit Theatre related name (we’ve already got the cosplay outfits).

The name we chose in December (team was only weeks old at the time) is “Chairman Mao bot”. This name was part of losing theme, but won the name vote. Some of us on the team feel that this is not PC, especially when you think of what Mao the person did in China, and in this current world climate. It doesn’t really seem to represent the spirit of FIRST either. I was thinking of suggesting a change to “Chairman Meow bot”. Some of the students are pretty adamant to keep it as is.

The Miracle Workerz have finally decided on a name for MOEv2003.

Some of the above suggestions were in the runnning, but the winner for MOEv2003 is…

We have a “Chairman Mao” on our team too. Not the robot though.

Oh yeah–and another potential name I just thought–butterfly (we keep calling them butterfly wings because we have 2 to stack and 2 to turn boxes upright before we stack). Any votes here for our teams’ robot name?

w00t… i think:D

Our robot is called “Uncomfortable Hunk Of Metal”, and it seems to be living up to that name at this point!:confused:

Is that a Pulp Fiction reference?

The whole story is on a different thread, but yes, we thought of the name while watching Pulp Fiction in the van on the way home from the SoCal Regional last year.

This year Cyber Blue will not go with a Beef ____ name. Since it’s our 5th year, and our school mascot is the Falcons it’s… :drumroll:

Falcon V :smiley:

Reminds me of that one episode of Doug (c’mon everyone used to watch Doug!) where he made the kite and they called it the Funny V… anyways lol yup Falcon V it is. :slight_smile:

Team:TEC CREW #226
Robot:Hammerhead 5

complete with Mascot this year in the cheering section

Same as before…

Team Name: Monta Vista Robotics Team - - 115 ]- -

Robot Name: El Toro 6

I would like to call my team’s robot the lemming, because it would follow things off a cliff, but it is not likely

e^(pi*i) + 2

The sequel.

Team 191, The X-Cats, one of the founding teams of FIRST has a robot called X-Tinguisher!!! See you at the Cleveland regional and Florida!

Well, looks like Swiss Cheese gets the naming. But I’m just gonna call it the Cardinal.

…and by florida you really mean houston, right?

well our original decent idea was shaft…
the shaft is on the move
its going
the stuy shaft is going for the scoring zone… that ended quickly
We then wanted Lola as in the song by the kinks.
We then wanted crate baby and to have the logo on the inside of the crates be are logo but we didn’t end up doing that for certain unknown reason. Lola is our robots name.
