The self-propelled pool cleaning robot arrived at Gary’s house Friday morning. By evening Gary and Joe had the thing running (see the video). Depending on your sensibilities and your love of machines, robots, and various technologies, you might calculate that the robot pool cleaner is a cute little thing. But it doesn’t have a name – yet. We want to fix that.
So we’re having a contest. We will take nominations, right here, in the Haversham Web site for one week. On Saturday, June 11, at midnight, we’ll stop taking nominations. In the meantime, submit as many names as you have in your home. From the names submitted, the Haversham pool committee will narrow the nominations to something manageable (six or fewer) on June 13. Then we will take a poll – on the Web site – for the winning name.
You make your suggestion(s) right here by creating a comment on this post. Please only one vote per person plus one per household. So if you have three family members in your home, you get four votes. In the first phase of voting (through midnight Saturday, June 11), you can go back and change your comment.
The person submitting the winning name will receive a fantastic prize at the June 25 Haversham Fiesta.
From the Reddick household we have a couple names: “Fastidious Felix,” “Oscar Bot,” “Minn (of the Mississippi, a turtle)”
My suggestion is “Shamoid.” That’s my attempt to get part of the word “Haversham” in the robot’s name.
