Bot Bench I'd Rather Be Building Robots
After much deliberation between me, myself and I, we’ve picked 4 winners; they are:
- Pretzel (Tammy)
- Crud (Merijn)
- Asimov (Sidneys1)
- Untitled (NickNackGus)
As they say in the gaming world, screenshots or it never happened, so here are pictures of the four bricks with their new names:

To everyone whose suggestions were not picked, thanks for taking part anyway! To the winners, you can now tell all your friends that you came up with a name for an NXT brick for me. Even though they’ll have no idea who you are talking about. Hopefully there will be more bricks in the future that need names.
All pictures were taken by Tammy.
Can’t believe you didn’t select one of mine. I thought we were friends???? Sheesh.
Yeah! I named one, although it’s the manky one.. but hey, good enough for me!
Chris,
Well, the cheque you sent me to get your name on one of the bricks bounced. Something about insufficient funds, I forget the details. The bank teller just sort of laughed at me, right before pushing it through the shredder.
Also, you never named your robot Heinrich, the rather awesome name I suggested for yours. That cut me deep, man, really deep.
DUDE! I VOTED FOR HEINRICH! The people spoke and I (we) were outvoted.
And I am glad it bounced. You didn’t deserve the $0.03 anyway.
XD “crud”
Might I ask how “Crud” got its face bashed in? Not that its that important, I’m just try to figure out how much $$$ I could make selling replacement NXT screens 😀 Not much I imagine.
The screen got bashed in by a Lego employee who wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to be sent to the Lego support people. He was busy trying to destroy it by stomping on it with his foot when I rescued it from certain death. Mind you, this is how the NXT looked after about 5 minutes of extreme abuse, not bad. I’d like to see what the average IPhone would look after just 10 seconds of that kind of violence 🙂
Wow, I’m amazed that the brick stood up to that much abuse for that long. About that iPhone… there are certain disadvantages to having 3.5 inches of screen real-estate. Give me the good old 100×64 any day!
how do you change the nxts name?
Have a look at this picture:
In the “Your current NXT is:” text box, you can enter a new name when your NXT is connected. Be sure to hit the little “enter” button to save the new name.
