What's it's function? Haven't you ever heard the engineers moto form follows function? You don't name a processing monster "2 bit", or a quality AI atempt "Bob" It's just tacky.

Although I like twobit

Wow, this thread really goes on and on.
Those just sound a bit too like names robot makers would actually come up with for my liking. I like MARSian, though (known as Ian to it's friends???).
Ok, so I'm puzzled. What would "Omni-wheeled" be?

Looong taken - iRobot started years ago, manufacturing military bomb disposal robots and domestic robot vacuums!

iRobot sells off military unit, will stick to friendlier consumer robots

iRobot will focus on its Roomba empire, leaving bomb disposal to a separate company.

arstechnica.com

My present semi-built robot has the name built in to the part designs already.
The wrist section is not attached at that, as the "tendons" for the fingers still need threading..

It's one of these, for anyone who's not heard of inmoov:
I'm not building the whole thing as it too big, just the hand and possibly the head, for novelty value.
(The hand needs the forearm to work, as the servos that actuate the fingers are housed in there).

Someone had a sense of humour back then, I mean can't be a coincidence can it?

No more than "US Robotics", again from Isaac Asimov's robot books.

Prototype , the difference between US Robitics name and iRobot company names - ,for iRobot, the company existed for about 15-years BEFORE the movie was titled, iRobot (if you include the name "I, Robot", then the sequence is different).
