WANTED!

Good names for all our Robots... We have been racking our brains but not come up with anything better than Robot 1-3. There surely must be better names out there. Any ideas?

Requirements

The names:

- need to identify the "players" as robots.
- can only consist of 10 LETTERS, no blanks.
- should not be offending to anyone.
- should somehow describe 3 different levels of skill

Well, well, let's give it a try:
*warming-up (bot 3)
*stretching (bot 2)
*mind-break (bot 1)

Just wondering out of curiosity... why can the name only consist of 10 letters?

Names can only be 10 letters long, because the tag that displays the name (and the ranking) has a limited amount of space...

Thanks, bdot. I thought that you were asking for exactly 10 letters (as you said no blanks), and I was wondering why that was the case. This is my misunderstanding, you must have been referring to blanks in between.
I had a good laugh about the first of your suggestions, Phantom, very original. Though your second suggestion is probably clearer and is very nice as well!

Hi Britta,

After lots of thought!

Robot 3 - Motion (as it moves in a slightly random, 'thinking about it' manner

Robot 2 - Force (as it's a bit better and thinks a bit more)

Robot 1 - Power (as it's brill')

Robot 1,2,3 are good as well.
