good job! MUCH BETTER THAN MINE!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, It is pretty good. My first idea for a name was adaption droid but my brother said that's allready a thing. :(
But I just looked up adaption droid and that ISNT a thing...hmmm...my bro is messing with me I think...O_O
Thanks to you and ineedtokn. Adaptation droid seems fine, its jolly clear what is meant. Only quibble I would have with it is it doesn't have a certain 'mystery/mythical' quality that would seem desirable for a story. My suggestions have the same failing. The historically correct word seems to be an Automaton, meaning any self powering machine. That would seem to satisfy the 'mystery/mythical' quality, but its not new as such
The only other sugesstion that comes to mind is an Appbot. They embronycally exist as such, being robots that can download various functionality apps. Thus the trend seems to be towards general purpose bots that can be 'tailored' by that for specific tasks. As far as I know, no generic name exists for them, so that might take off!
Yes. Ive heard the word "automaton" before. But I was looking for more of a new kind of name that has never been used before. A name for the MODEL of the robot. I really think that I could use either of your names. Im still researching if Adaption droid is a thing or not. Thanks for your help! :-)
You're welcome :)
Eon forever...? Hmmm...thanks for trying but that wasnt exactly the type of name I was looking for.
