Yes- or an Overkill motor rewired as a servo-that's limited to 180.

half of my bots are called enter bot name until they go into tournaments or something hahahah

^ This ^

Then at that point I think "If this wins something what would be cool name"

I named showcase robots with Joke names, etc but its always serious names in tournaments

Another thing is Fire robots.. almost all have a reference to fire or flammable substances

I often try to upgrade or adapt existing designs, so their names are often part of a series (Bane, Circle of Thorns),  other than that I just use names that sound cool, thought up after the bot has been built.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I come up with names before I build bots. In the case of Constellation, the name inspired the bot itself.

Right now I'm naming bots after songs but before I just used whatever popped into my head. Flaze, Zantetsuken and a few other memorable bots were named that way :P

I name my robots after places, things that happen in space or words that look good together.

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

Most of my bots are unnamed. For tourney entries I try to come up with something that describes the bot in some way; such as Poke-A-Bot was a poker and Omnivore ate other robots and Spinoff was a spinoff of Omnivore.
