I've avoided using Throwbot/Slizer in the name, using just
"Technic Leg with Ball Joints  3 x  7 x  1"
The piece is stamped with "32173"
-gyug
ps. "Slizer" is better sounding than "Throwbot".

I'm starting to work on the Throwbot/Slizer parts.

I'm really happy to see that!

Anyway, I just wanted to comment on the name of the parts: I • understand
that the theme called "Throwbot" in the US is called "Slizer" in
Australia.  Hence, perhaps we should use the "Slizer" name in LDraw,
rather than "Throwbot"?

I think it's called Slizer in all the world, except the US (?)

(...) I'm just thinking that this name may be confused with the Technic figures, as they have legs, too. Adding "Slizer" after "Technic" will clear this up. Fredrik (25 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
