Lunar Loggerhead. Space turtles FTW!


Lucky Loggerhead and Logo Loggerhead sound pretty good, too. We can have the ROS logo for ROS Logo, gaining bonus points!

+1 to Lucky Logo

Though I'm partial to Leatherbacks as they have awesome shells  -- maybe Josh can use a Leatherback turtle for the artwork or the tuturle?

Maybe "Lucky Loggerhead" or "Lucky Logo" ?

There are more Google image results for "Virtruvian Turtle" than I expected.

"Logo Loggerhead"

+9 bonus points for anyone who writes a LOGO client for ROS
+42 if it runs on Apple ][  😆

To spice things up, I'm still going to propose Leonardo Lion with these four points to counter the four points above:

1. A Lion robot hasn't been made yet, and we're doing futuristic work with goals and ambitions such that our operating system will run a lion
2. We can keep all the old turtle references. But in the future start making Lion references to show newness, and a vibrancy for the future of ROS
3. Lions have always been symbols of courage and pride in the work from all of history
4. If ROS is the Lion, then we are the lion tamers. I'd say we're all a pretty smart bunch

Hello Devon, joq

The reasons cited for the turtle reference are;

  1.   Reference to the first mobile robots made; William Grey Walter's Elmer and Elsie - Turtle robots
  2.  LOGO Turtle, probably the simplest GUI based simulations for navigation. ROS also has a package very similar to the LOGO Turtle and it is often recommended as a tutorial for newbies.
  3.  "It's turtles all the way down" - iconic references in various popular texts, viz. Brief History Of Time
  4.  Proverbial reference of the turtle and the hare - where hard and consistent labour wins over street smartness - isn't ROS much like that

So, seems we are stuck with the turtle, least for some time to come ! :-)

Regards,

Arkapravo
