robot names

Hey, is there somewhere a complete list of Aus robot names that have been used?

I keep thinking of them and then wondering if someone else has already used it!

This should have all the local bot names on it: http://rankings.robowars.org/featherhistorical.htm

The US builder's DB is also a good place to look for names: http://www.buildersdb.com/search.asp

The builders DB can be a great research tool and links to many builder's personal sites

Haha very cool. I love Slave's dialect, apparently such a robot would need to sound lower-class ?

It looks to me like what Red Dwarf would have been were it not a comedy Razz

In any case i chose 'Slave' cos it implies that the robot would have a free will were it not for me being the master of it Smile That and i was thinking about Boba Fett's ship from Star Wars, Slave One

As if that wasn't funny. Why was the ship still moving at the end? Oh no my precariously placed car seat has fallen over!!!

If that Slave robot sounded more depressed you'd have Marvin. Smile

Fetts ship was called Slave, missed that.

I suppose star wars trivia is geeky enough for you to qualify as a bot builder.

Are you going to do an R2-D2 or maybe an AT-AT for that walker bonus? Smile

Think we should give him another chance. Something a little more recent, how about who is Rodney Copperbottom or what is a NS-5.
