Does anyone know what the etymology of 'Oko' is for the sensor forward observer copperbots? (The rest of them I get, but I haven't been able to source the joke/reference for Oko. The closest I can find is that the Japanese call police 'Okami', and that 'Oko' in russina means 'eye'.)
Oko in the name comes from 'eye' in Russian and some East European languages, but via in-universe slang.
I wonder how CB wound up with the name Kyttä Copperbot, because they missed a very obvious and clever joke with that one: Rather than being a flash pulse bot, Kyttä should be the forward observer bot. In Finnish we often refer to the forward observer bots as "fobba bots", and there is a fameous Finnish police officer Marko "Fobba" Forrs, so Kyttä "Fobba" Copperbot would've made a lot of sense.
How time is spend in CB HQ: 50% Designing, producing and selling a miniature game 50% Searching and studying cultural references to add to said miniature game. And it is a better game for it :-D
