It's time for a March contest, and it's also time for me to have a personal dilemma solved. I plan on killing two birds with malice aforethought in this thread, by asking you (yes, YOU!) to NAME! THAT! BOT!
WHICH Bot, you may be asking? Why, none other than THIS Bot! If you follow that link to Joel's latest update, you'll see that he's got a first look at a new robot prototype! (Apologies to non-backers if you can't see it.) This is a curious specimen to be sure, looking a bit like a cross between Crow and Servo and Gypsy wearing a... rocketpack? Its single cyclopean eye, its beak-like mouth, its bulbous head, and its... rocketpack?... speak to the ingenuity of Joel's new Fablab and hint at the many surprises that await us in the upcoming eleventh season of MST3K.
Much speculation has come up surrounding this robot. Is it going to be in the theater? Is it going to fulfill some function on the satellite similar to Gypsy's role as pilot? Is it a fill-in for Gypsy since she's busy managing her company? Is this the new Cambot? Has Rocket Number 9 evolved and become a robot? Or possibly the most likely of all, is this something completely new that we have no hope of anticipating? Who knows?! The answer: Joel knows.
Joel knows what this robot is for.
Joel knows who this robot is.
Joel knows this robot's name.
But I don't. And the waiting is KILLING me. But it's not killing me as much as my inability to really talk about it. "That new robot that Joel teased" is a clunky thing to call it, but because we don't have a name for it that's the best we can do. Until today...
Friends, come up with a nickname for this robot for me. Something to call this robot until Joel reveals the robot's REAL name. Perhaps Joel is planning on revealing the robot's name in the next update... perhaps he'll wait until midway through the upcoming season to reveal anything about this robot... or perhaps... PERHAPS... Joel will release an update that reveals the robot's name the instant I click the "Create Thread" button. But we can't know... so until we know what the robot is REALLY named, please just give me a name to call it in the meantime.
How will I judge the names? Hard to say, but I won't be using the "draw a name from a hat" method that I usually use, so creativity will definitely count. Use your best judgement here. The winner of this contest will receive a prize provided by Skyroniter in the form of ten DVDs. Also? I'll give out *rolls a die* seven Affy Points to the winner.
And apologies in advance to said winner: when Joel reveals the robot's real name, all your hard work will be forgotten, and the nickname will fade into obscurity. But at least you'll have some DVDs with which to console yourself.
Ready?
Set?
NAME!
