I need to ask a question about those Z-bots.
What does the letter 'Z' stand for?

The original Idea for wonderland was that you controlled three different robots. I'm not sure what they were all called, but there was one called the Zip-bot which moved very fast, but would explode on water. The Z-bot is based on that bot. So, in short, the "Z" stands for Zip

So in short, the above idea is close, but a bit off.
