yeah i know thats why i clarified where we got it from so the moderators wouldn’t get mad at me again
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 
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.
Our robot’s name is officially Tyr because this god was one armed, like our robot this year.
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.
Ummm… I think we unofficially named our Robot “Pedro”
but if the mentors don’t like it we just stick with “Beachbot”
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.
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?
our robot is named “Tetramajig”. It was “Tetramajigger” but from a distance it looks somewhat like a racial slur.
when deciding on the name it wasn’t a thingamajig but a tetramajig. It was late, we were sleep deprived.
last year it was “Black Mammoth”

Officially our robot is named The Bulldog 5, since this is our fifth year doing it. But unofficially our Robot is named HERCULES, mainly because we got a lot of help from an engineer that works at United Defense, and they have a tank with the perfect acronym: Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lift and Evacuation System (HERCULES). I am going to see if we can get the named changed at the regional, because this year I want to break away from the generic name. For those of you going to the Silicon Valley regional watch out for out Bulldog Mascot suit 
We havent named ours yet “unofficially”…technically its MORT v9 but we like to let ours earn its name while in battle…
Last years bot earned the title “Rhinobot”
Officially, our robot is Mojo III since the guys that do the paperwork have no creativity.
One of our alums cam back about 4 weeks in to see our progress. Later that night he made a post on his xanga saying it should be called Mojo Lazarus since it would take Jesus to raise it from the dead. Looking at Sacto, that might mean we have a second comming on our hands.

Yeah, Purple Haze, our team colors are purple and gold, like our school
Edit: This was the 60000 post in the General Forum
We named our Bender Like the robot from futurama. It was either him or the blue m&m as our mascott.
No contest really
