Have you named your robot?

FIRST General Forum
#99

We have a tradition of using obscure movie quotes to name our robot.
The names do err on the side of being uncouth if you know where they came from, but I can live with that.
Last year, the name was Uncomfortable Hunk of Metal.
This year, it is Charlie Foxtrot.
Go Dukes!

I saw Dr. J on the Webcast and I would love to show my team some pictures of it, but you guys have yet to post any.
It is so much like a design our team almost built and it works so nicely that I’d love to see pics if you can direct me to them.
Thanks in advance!

Ours is Fast Eddie III, although right now he’s Fat Eddie III due to weight issues, but that’ll be sorted out! (Hopefully :S)

Our robot is officially MILDREAD 4 (Our school is St. Mildreds) but every year it gets a different, unofficial name.

This year, it was decided at about 23:00 on Monday before ship date that it should be ‘Big Bad Bessie.’

Which it is. Unofficially. But she’s Bessie in our hearts.

Officially, our follow up to the Bobcat 2004 is…the Bobcat 2005 :stuck_out_tongue:

But I decided we needed a more original name, so I’ve dubbed it “Gertrude.” This is mostly on account of one of our engineers referring to our base as Gertrude while demonstrating a concept that I don’t remember.

#109

We eventually decided on Tetraphile although it was close becoming Puma (Red vs Blue Eisode #2).

#110

Our robot’s name is officially Tyr because this god was one armed, like our robot this year.

#111

Our robot this year is named CopperHead, take a guess why

and for bonus points, guess subject our head high school teacher’s masters degree.

#112

Ummm… I think we unofficially named our Robot “Pedro”
but if the mentors don’t like it we just stick with “Beachbot”

#113

We named ours Big Bertha. Our robot is the biggest you can make it so we came up with Big Bertha.

I thought you’d name it something like “thumper”, due to its classic auton.

#115

I thought this year’s internal name was “The Finger”

Like how we refered to last year’s bot as “The Washing Machine”

2003 was “The Winnebago”

2002 was the “Minifridge”

2001 is the only one anybody actually calls the Bobcat for some reason. The practice bot that year was “Petunia”

We also have the “Hexorcist” from 96 I think.

All these refer to either what it looked like to us or in the case of this year a mechanism that we just latched on to.

This year we named our robot the Housywhere’sit. It’s a play on last years name Housywhat’sit, though it doesn’t have the same ring to it. We finally are off naming our robot Reggie. (We named our first robot Reggie after Region 1 and it stuck for three years.) It got fairly confusing especially when we brought two robots to an off season.

We like to incorporate word play that has a connection to our team into our Robot names. Any suggestions are welcome for next years robot.

We’ll see you in Hartford:)

Working with a common theme within this years robotics competition, we decided to name our robot “Caution” (or as we like to call it, PMFH (Parking Metre From Hell).

Nice try. We don’t name the robot (even unofficially) until AFTER at least one competition, preferably the whole season, and then it gets some name or other like “Plecibo” or “Tank” (2001 and 2002). And where did this name “Pedro” come from?
