Documents the team's standard process for selecting a competition robot name each season — currently undocumented tribal knowledge.

Changes

  • General/Robot Name Voting.md — new page covering:
    • Naming criteria: name should match robot design, game theme, or ideally both
    • Gathering names: open submission from any team member, collected informally and listed on the whiteboard
    • Voting process: three-round whiteboard tally system — Round 1 (2 votes each, initial cut), Round 2 (repeat Round 1 with 2 votes each until narrowed to 2 or 3 names), Round 3 (1 vote each → winner)
    • Voting system: tally marks on the whiteboard; tied names in Round 1 all advance to Round 2

Round 2 should be: repeat round 1 until we get to down to 2 or 3 names then move on to final voting as Round 3

Updated in accf4f2. The voting process is now 3 rounds: Round 1 (initial 2-vote cut), Round 2 (repeat Round 1 with 2 votes until narrowed to 2 or 3 names), Round 3 (final 1-vote decision).

Updated voting process

Comment thread Build Season/Robot Name Voting.md Outdated

- Votes are cast using **tally marks on the whiteboard** in the build space so all votes are visible to everyone in real time
- In the event of a **tie** in Round 1, all tied names advance to Round 2
- In the event of a **tie** in Round 2, the team holds a run-off vote with 1 vote per person between only the tied names
