It started out as just MagicD.  My second copy of it was the first one that remotely worked, and it had a nice ring to it, so I kept the two in later versions as part of the name.  I SWEAR this was not based on R2-D2.

It seems to me that the main reason this robot can actually do well (by my standards) against some of the decent ones is because of it's utter simplicity. There's a famous quote- "the world's best fencer has nothing to fear from the world's second-best fencer... It's a rank beginner that gives him trouble." Hopefully this won't be the case for very long.
