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

I don't know the answer to your question. However, here is some information about earlier Z-bots. Even the name Wonderland is mentioned, but there is no article about.

Z-bots are one of the computer controlled enemies in the Wonderland (game) series.

That doesn't answer ^_^'s question. If you know what a Z-bot is, then you will know that.

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

The Z doesn't actually stand for anything. In fact, Z-Bots should be W-Bots, because as it says here:
EH??? I have to write all that from memory? I THOUGHT I HAD IT PIED! Hang on... In a very early concept draft of the game, you were going to be in control of three robots on a space ship, each with different abilities. The “Wee-Bot” was small and zippy, the “Zee-Bot” could zap objects with electricity, and the “Zero-Gee-Bot” could hover over chasms. The Wee-Bot concept survived into the final Wonderland game, where it became the Z-Bot.
So in short, the above idea is close, but a bit off.

Since the Wee-bot was small and
zippy you were actually right, calling it a Zip-Bot, which also explains the "Z".
