[chbot] Name of the group

[robitics at waghornswood.net.nz]

A well made point regarding acronyms. KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle)

If its not broken don’t fix it what’s wrong with the current name ? The group may have drifted away from solely robotics but does JPL only develop jet propulsion systems ?
