ROB's name is a reference to the NES accessory, [[nwiki:R.O.B.|R.O.B.]] (Robotic Operating Buddy), which is another type of robot. The "64" is derived from the [[Nintendo 64]], which is the console of his first appearance, the [[Nintendo 64]]. His Japanese name, NUS64, has a slightly different derivation from the Nintendo 64; it is a reference to the console's serial number, including its peripherals. It is also the abbreviation of "Nintendo Ultra 64", which was a working title for the Nintendo 64. In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', the letters "NUS" are located at the top of his chest. | ROB's name is a reference to the NES accessory, [[nwiki:R.O.B.|R.O.B.]] (Robotic Operating Buddy), which is another type of robot.

ROB also repaired the shield-depleted [[Arwing]]s of Fox's teammates, and would be done with fixing them by the time Fox had finished the next level. ROB only serves to relay information to the pilots, such as "''Location confirmed. Sending supplies.''" or "''Great Fox will cover you.''" In this game, ROB is the most analytical. | ||
