Welcome to Robot Name on Exercism's Common Lisp Track.
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md.
Manage robot factory settings.
When a robot comes off the factory floor, it has no name.
The first time you turn on a robot, a random name is generated in the format of two uppercase letters followed by three digits, such as RX837 or BC811.
Every once in a while we need to reset a robot to its factory settings, which means that its name gets wiped. The next time you ask, that robot will respond with a new random name.
The names must be random: they should not follow a predictable sequence. Using random names means a risk of collisions. Your solution must ensure that every existing robot has a unique name.
