# Robot Name
|
|
|
|
Manage robot factory settings.
|
|
|
|
When robots come off the factory floor, they have no name.
|
|
|
|
The first time you boot them up, a random name is generated in the format
|
|
of two uppercase letters followed by three digits, such as RX837 or BC811.
|
|
|
|
Every once in a while we need to reset a robot to its factory settings,
|
|
which means that their name gets wiped. The next time you ask, it will
|
|
respond with a new random name.
|
|
|
|
The names must be random: they should not follow a predictable sequence.
|
|
Random names means a risk of collisions. Your solution must ensure that
|
|
every existing robot has a unique name.
