Robot Name

Hi Everyone
With lots of help from Clive Brown and Pete Lale we are about to become roboteers, we have been coming as paying public to many events over the past 2 years and thought it would be more fun to join in.
We have thought about names and need to check some ideas with you all, dont want to steal someone name.
The name we are thinking of is Little Devil.
Does anyone use this name already?

I dont know anyone using that name in the past, and no one uses it on our system at the moment, so go for it.

Welcome to our strange world Debbie, according to FRA records we dont have a robot by that name so you would more than welcome to use it.
Looking forward to seeing you at an event soon.
You must introduce yourself to Jenny And Karoline (Team Pillow Torque) Im sure theyll be glad to see another female team and will look after you!

Good luck,

Geoff.
Chairman, FRA

any ideas plans for what you are going to build? if you havent made a start already

welcome to the fun world of robots

Also in Holland and Belgium no robot with that name. I dont recall a Little Devil with our German neighbors either. Id say go for it.

Oh and welcome. :)

Thanks for your help.
Little Devil it is.
My son still does not know that we have managed to get him a robot so it is all top secret in our house.
Cant wait to see his face when we attend our first get together although I am fairly confident that he will just want to watch the battles and will end up leaving the driving to me. A learner female robot driver, be afraid, be very afraid.
See you soon

Do we take this as an official resignation from Team Toon Army?

Great, is it a robot we know or a new one? Any pictures?

As for female drivers, even Karoline hasnt managed to get through the lexan yet so I have no worries. :-)

Just kidding Karoline :)

We will always support Team Toon Army Clive. It is your fault that we have ended up getting a bot.
Owen wore his Tiny Toon t-shirt to school yesterday and was showing them the Roaming Robots website and explaining about all the people he knew, He is such a name dropper!!!
How is the build going???? Have you got over the mud yet!!!
Next job, need to join FRA and sign up for a few battles.

Since you will be your own team Debbie, you may as well think of a team name and sign up to the Roaming Robots database an then add your robot to the system then we can sign you up to the up coming events officaly. We know your coming - but the web site and the system dont hehe. Sign ups open in about 10 days time.

Get clive to introduce me to you, didnt get chance to say hello to the picknicers.

Mr Stu

Debbie:

Welcome to the robot community, hope to meet you soon.

Since youre robots called Little Devil, maybe you can do a tag-team with either of my robots, Hells Angel or Satanix ? :)

PS: Little Devil is my fleaweights name, but you can still use it :)

Hi David

Pleased to hear that you are returning. Not sure if you would want to set up a tag-team with a complete novice team like ours but if you are game for a laugh we could try.
We were going to call the team Devil, is that ok with you, thought I had better ask before we sign up to Roaming Robots?
Take care, see you soon

Welcome to a new life style Debbie and Team Devil may all your battles be victorious.....
Unless against Team Tilly :lol::proud:........... pete ..

Thanks Pete
It is partly your fault all this. Can you ask Shane if he can give Harry some driving lessons I am determined that I am not going to do everything.

Debbie

Tell you what Debbie, if you get yourself a few servos and get Clive to mod them for 360degree operation, stick some jam jar lids on (or god forbid buy some wheels!) and four aa batteries with a holder from maplins you can put them between a carboard body and then practice driving.

That was the first robot i built for Luke and its been rebuilt in many many different ways by him and gets driven regularly even now. We used a 9v battery at first which lasted a while but it tends to blow the receiver after a while.

If you can get it set up on single stick steering even better.

You can build a small assault course for it and all sorts of stuff. You really dont need to running the bigger robot all the time and it needs no space at all so it get used more.

You can always swap the receiver between the two as well.

Andy

Dont you just enjoy the happiness of naming robots :)

Quick namecheck.i have called a rambot Relentless but has Relentless ever been used as a robot name before? ill change it if its been used already.

Not that I can think of Tom

Thats 2 people that have said that to me now thats good enough for me. The rambot is now called Relentless.
Cheers

its the name of a rather nice drink though lol. i like the orange one..

I suspect that this may be a futile question, but is there a robot with a name called floorcloth?

Didnt think so.

Alex

Thats where i got the name from dave :p

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but the thread title is perfect for what I need to ask:

Is there a robot to anyone's knowledge called Incisor?

I'm not too fussed about US bots or really old robots from early RW days, more so if it already exists amongst UK (none that I can think of) and European robots.

Thanks

what ya making Jamie? 8)

sounds a new name to me

I was inspired by Calum's robot Pinsor (in the build diaries) and just started toying about with bits and pieces. I dug up a wiper motor, a bit of threaded rod and part of the mechanism from a car scissor jack that I reckoned would work well with a claw setup so I added wheels, motors, batteries and speedos to a pile-of-parts layout to see how it would look and I liked it.
Gonna throw it together in June and it'll probably become a replacement bot for Bullseye (i.e. for my dad to drive at events)

It looks quite a lot like a mini Kan Opener so it might draw comparisons but I'll be going for a different colour scheme. Just trying to find a name that's crush-related but not virtually identical to Kan Opener, Razer, Kanzor, Krush, Pinsor, Crushtacean etc etc and Incisor was the best I could come up with.

How about cuddles? You could make it furry! :rofl:

nice to hear i've inspired you, if our 2 robots are in the arena together we will have to have a bit of a fight to see who comes out on top out of us both:)

im hopeing to get loads more done to mine this weekend and have it all up and fully running by next weekend but just minus the armour.

The only Insisor I know Jamie was in Battlebots. Don't think there's one in the UK.

You know what, I was so set on thinking up hard-ass mean-sounding names that I completely neglected the comedy names :proud:

All of a sudden, along with Cuddles, I'm now thinking of Bearhug, Hugglebug and all sorts :lame:
Although with the force that this thing could be exerting I think I'll pass on giving it a cuddle!

Dave, thought there might be one in Battlebots, ta for confirming. But as I doubt it'll ever make it to the US, Incisor it will be (assuming I fight the urge for one of the above names :))

Cuddle Monster?
Hug Bug?
Tickle Me Hellmo?

Lol, Tickle Me Hellmo, that's a name Dave W should use if he ever makes a cuddly-bot; fits right in with his team theme and all :)

Damn you Gary, I'm looking at pictures of the bot right now and really seriously contemplating calling it Cuddles!! Wonder what colour of fluffy fur I could put on it? Or is it a pre-requisite of robot combat that if you use fur, its got to be red with black polka-dots? :D
