Contest winners announced

Thank you for all 35 great names you have submitted, choosing from the available names has been very difficult. I have decided that I will choose 2 winners, each winner will receive one(1) Arduino Nano in their choice of FTDI or CH340G UART chipset. Shipment will be via eBay fulfillment and tracking numbers(if provided by seller) will be sent to your email/DM. I have also decided that the most relevant name deserves an award due to the contextual naming, Esven will be receiving some loot.
Winners are:
@indiealexh with "Isorropías" [ισορροπίας] (Greek translation is "Stability") 
@cineboxandrew with ASCII-1 (Ascent SCheme of Increased Insanity)
Honorable mentions:
@Esven_the_drake with "Dr. Wobbles: or how I learned to stop worrying and love control theory" and "Bang-Bang Controller" [Most relevant name award]
@ibuildrockets with "Steve (because there's not enough rockets called Steve)" and  "ARSE (Active Rocket Stabilization Experiment)" [Steve award]
@fgarciasit with "Not-Wiggly-Bit" and "Wiggly-Bit" [Most whimsical name award]
@J_vandie with SOLA (Stable One Legged Antelope) [Hilarious award]
Thanks for making this contest amazing, I will definitely be doing more in the future!

Name my rocket and stabilization system and win an Arduino Nano [CONTEST]

Just a heads up about a contest I am running currently. Name my rocket (currently codenamed TA-1 [Test article 1]) and the stabilization system (currently codenamed ARGuS [Arduino Rocket Guidance System]). Contest ends at 12:00 EST on November 27 2014, and winner will be selected on December 10 2014 and the prize of one(1) Arduino Nano (FT232RL or CH340G at the winners request). Entries are highly welcome and I hope to see several very unique names for the rocket and system soon! :D. One entry per person, twitter account not required as an email address will suffice. If winner does not respond within 48 hours a runner up will be chosen. Form is after the break
