You may have seen this robot in either that linked thread, or on our Youtube channels.
We have a problem. We don’t know what to name it. Comment with ideas for names, and I might pick one that I like for the name of the robot. Happy posting!

Hi Owen
Here are some widely used favorites:
Do we get a prize if you like the name and pick it?
Cheers, Paul
Name it Tabor
Hello,
Some names could be
VT Design (too short)
red october
Nz
.
Loki…
George.
Larry.
Zeus.
Mr. Peter.
Do not name it “HAL,” it will follow the footsteps of its namesake and become “self-aware” (refusing to respond to joystick and field control during matchplay, thanks to ESD). I speak from experience.
More names,
The closest thing to a Greek mythology god of robotics would be HEPHAISTOS… Lol
-stark
-Lawrence
-Arnold
-Brian Fendrick
I like this suggestion.
EDIT: Here are some we have used before:
Alison (our 2013 Worlds robot)
Sebastian
Monty
Cooper (it was a mini robot… hehe)
Pierre
Muncher
Flynn
Turkey Hunter (Round Up, the goals were code named turkeys and the robot hunted them)
Every robot we have built has had a name so we have quite a long list… they are some off the top of my head. Let me know if you want some more and I’ll come up with a more complete list.

Tobor
its robot backwards and has nothing to do with me being full of myself
So far I’m liking Tobor.
It sounds like Tabor, so it is a nice nod to how there was a misconception it was his robot.
Also being robot spelled backwards fits well, because of how generic and unoriginal the robot is.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
I’ve moved this thread to the Chit-Chat forum.
You also seem to have shut everybody up lol
I like robot names that are somehow related to your team name. For example, my team name is Caesar Engineering, so our robot is named Julius (nicknamed Jules after a former Spanish teacher ours). Try to come up with something creative! Your robot name can/should be part of your team persona just like your team name and any other gimmicks you might have.
Chit-chat/rumor mill: where off topic posts come to die. (This is because they don’t show up on the home page so no one reads them).
I randomly thought of the names Lightfoot and Clodhopper for the small one and the big one respectively. I’m not really sure why, but I think it has a nice ring to it.
My team’s robot is called Eragos, so maybe something Greek?
