What should I call this robot? Right now it is running a Nano, but it may end up with a Mega, or possibly a Nano and an MSP430 - so the name needs to be microcontroller and brand agnostic.
Quick and dirty?

TMS = to many sensors?

That way you do not need to remove the label ]

It could stand for "Roving & Ranging Robot" or "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
Lets see inside - maybe it could be 3 Ws in honor of Elmer Fudd:
"Widiculous Watsnest of Wiring", or the "Wabbit Hunta"
What about rob?
Stands for: Rich Owner Bot ]

Whole-y Launchpad, Batman!
Thanks for the suggestions. I have decided to name this bot Box-E
Too many sensors? Didn't know that was possible! $3 on ebay, so why not? Even with 4 ultrasonics, I'm still at less than half the cost of one PING sensor.
The top box is a Stellaris Launchpad box, the bottom box is an MSP430 Launchpad box. The shame is that there isn't a single TI part in the robot, at least as of now. The microcontroller is ATMEL and the motor driver is Toshiba. Sorry TI
The box is not a great look, but I find it to be a great platform while I figure out what I want to do. Kinda like breadboarding the chassis. It's my second bot, so I'm still learning what design consideration to keep in mind.

I don't think TI would mind that much, at this point they are still getting a bit free advertising.
