[teammad]

Havent people just gave you reasons not to use it?

quote:

Maximum was a standby robot that was brough in to replace another bot at the last moment in filming - but I cant remember what the event was.

Was a Cassius II clone if I remember

Ed

Are you on about V-Max that replaced Onslaught in the last heat of RW4, by any chance, Ed?

Anyway, Adrian - You could tip your hat to the pythoners and call it Naughtius Maximus...

Have to agree with David here - havent a load of people have just given you a number of reasons not to call it Maximus.... so how come the response that ok then Ill go with it ?

i know of brutus maximus which isnt the same name, ok so theirs a micromouse called maximus, the other maximus is now called blue max, so i cant see where the problem is, unless they have copyright, team mad dont have a maximus on their website so does that robot even exist anymore? if it does no prob.

Maximus has never been part of team mad. Its http://www.teamgladiator.co.ukwww.teamgladiator.co.uk

Because a robot doesnt fight any more doesnt realy mean you can use the name.

I agree with Dave.

If someone started using a name i have used (Major Tom, Armadrillo or Zero) I would be pretty annoyed.

The name of a robot becomes associated with the team members and things that have happened to that robot in the past.

I can appreciate that you want the name you have thought of but if its already taken by someone previously then unfortunatly that bad luck.
Try to think of something similar.

There was a Venom before my machine and a predator. however they havent fought in years and arnt that well known machines either. My logic thought is that there arnt any maximuss on the combat scene at the moment and there havent been for a while (if ever). Dave is yours a running competitor? if nay then i cant really see the dispute as adrian isnt jumping on somebody elses image if you know what i mean?

just my 2 cents but if i were you adrian i would think of another name anyway as it may only cause you grief :sad:

thats what i think, im not trying to upset any1,if i knew of another heavyweight or a robot that mite attend the same events as me then obviously i would have something different,its just the name that came with the design etc....if it was a well known robot such as razer, chaos2 etc.... then of course i wouldnt use it, to be honest i wish i never asked and just went with wot i wanted, or can any1 got any suggestions to go with maximus!!!:sad:

the other thing also is does any1 say anything when somebody designs and builds a robot that is exactly like something well known, i mean ive seen a nasty version of razer for example.... this is just a question out of curiosity, i dont want to be taken the wrong way,

How about gluteus maximus :wink:
