Name-a-rover (or two)

[KasperVld]

Hi there everyone..!

As some of you might be aware, Squad has received two RC robots, or rovers. The rovers were generously gifted to Squad by the guys and galls at www.robots-everywhere.com, I've included pictures of the rovers below. Looks great right? There is one problem however: the rovers lack names. To remedy this situation we want you to come up with original and downright sciency or silly names for the rovers. We will select the best ones and put them up in a poll tomorrow and the winner will be announced in a special way this weekend and will of course have the honor of being the one who came up with the names for these incredible pieces of technology.

All entries must comply with the community rules ofcourse which means no commercial names, adult content, vulgarity and so on. There will be no voting in this thread, so keep it to suggestions only please

Get your thinking caps on and zip up your creativity pants and let us hear those names. Ready? Go!

Can we submit more than one name per person?

Space Trucker!

[catmando]

Lewis & Clark, Magellan, and Galeleo, come to mind..

[KasperVld]

Can we submit more than one name per person?

Space Trucker!

Yes you can, but keep the list manageable

[RedKosmos]

Tonka (from the old tonka truck toys) for the big one.

Mighty Mouse for the smaller one

[Sapphire]

Awesome!

So the first one is really bulky and monster-truck-y, so that's why I chose Space Trucker.

The Jebmobile (assuming that's Jeb standing on it)

Duna Buggy

As for that little guy (is part of it 3D printed?)...

Little Bro

Ant

As for names for either one... Serenity, because everyone likes beautiful names and Firefly!

Then following NASA's explorer things like Curiosity and Pathfinder... Cartographer, Navigator, Wanderer (I like this one), Opportunist.

[RogueMason]

Incredible pieces of technology, eh? Only two names will suffice for this.

Columbia and Eagle.

[Lordherrmann]

Lithomauler and The Tracker

[SirJodelstein]

Flip (the small one) & Flop (the big one)

[Nfeld The Rocketeer]

The Endurance

or maybe some music:

Quadrophenia (Actually it's not Copyrighted, It is a type of sound recording.)

[The Jedi Master]

Jebediah and Bill.

[Arran]

The Big one : Jeb's Shopping Cart, the Smaller one : Bill's BedCrawler

[bracknellexile]

Tipder Rover and Rollder Rover. Because they will inevitably corner too fast at some point, specially if Jeb is driving....

[BurntPhoenix]

the big one: boostermobile

the small one: lil' strutty

[Tarmenius]

For the big one: JATMAR (Jeb's All-Terrain Mechanized Aliment Retriever). Aliment is a synonym for food

I'll have to think a little more on the small one...

[Lheim]

I'm going to take inspiration from the ship names of Iain Bank's Culture series.. and suggest:

Zero Gravitas, Size Isn't Everything, Frank Exchange of Views, I Blame Your Mother, and/or Teething Problems.

Please note that Mr. Banks has a sick sense of humor.

[BigBoy734]

"Moar Booster Jeb"

and

"Safety First Bob"
