Any bot names?
« on: April 01, 2013, 01:41:45 AM »
I can't come up with any bot names except cheesy childish ones, like Vomit Comet or Ram 'n' Slam. Any ideas on making better ones?

I used to theme my bot names. Each team would have a different theme, and the bots would be named based on that theme. For example, I had one team named predators, with bots like wolverine, Black Leopard, etc. I also had a team for bots named after metal  bands, and another with military-themed names.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

Haha, I forgot that thing has a wiki page. Man that was when I first joined the forums as an eager newbie. That bot was the pinnicle of my building prowess at the time. Note that my second BBeans entry was Shebeast... ;)

That was certainly a turnaround :laughing
But yeah, I'm lazy so I usually pick song titles if I'm naming things. Try something like Reciprocal or Electric Rattlesnake. Me and Enigma tend to use Cryptopsy song titles a lot, so those might be worth trying.

Just name them in the most overblown, pretentious, and dramatic way possible.

you could always just take some intimidating word, and capitalize the last letter and some letters in between, replace "ct" with "xx", and anything else i can do to make it xxxXXX_420_MLG_ELITE_XXXxxx (ex- infection ---> InfeXXioN, blizzard ---> BliZZarD, deoxide 2 ---> DeOxidE 2, fusion ---> FuZioN, so on so forth.)

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Maybe some abbreviations that also form words?
Take S.H.I.T for example (Super Heavy Intimidation Transporter)

I rarely name my bots after Greek Gods, but it may be interesting, and i just make names up myself.

If I don't have a name in mind before building a bot I usually just look around my room to inspire a name or I ask the skype group.
