You seem to have used a lot of 'embarrassed' emoticons there; don't worry, with so many complete, half-built and failed robots out there, picking the same name as another robot happens quite often
The Bodge Job team competed in Rex's Robot Challenge 2004 and their own Teesdale Challenge in 2005. Back then I believe the team members were in their final school year so they will have gone on to university, college or jobs etc. The robot belonged to the school I think, and last I heard, the technology teacher who was a principle organiser of the robot side of things left for another school so the chances are the robot is on display somewhere in the school and hasn't been touched in several years (could be wrong though)
It's up to you if you change the name or if you want to stick with Bodge Job. It'll confuse me for a little while as I fought against it a couple of times and got on well with the team but I'll get used to it :P
The robot also didn't compete in the 'main' robot fighting scene (ie. Roaming Robots, XFM (at the time) etc) so it probably wouldn't confuse too many people.
Best of luck with the build![]()
