Fake team names
 

As a fun brainstorming exercise:

If you could create your own FRC team with its own name, mascot, identity, what would it be?

I'd have to do the 'Botniks - the team members would have soul patches on their chins, wear berets, green-and-white striped shirts and way-too-tight pants, talk about how "far out" and "groovy" everything is, and rhythmically snap their fingers all the time. The robot's name would be Coltrane.

What would yours be?

My team would be The Wild Bunch, the robot would be all black and the team would dress in black with cowboy hats and dusters (long coats).
We would all have wanted posters on the team website... and we'd be the finest outlaw robot gang ever to rob, err win a regional.
Our work shop would be referred to as the Hold In The Wall.
Team motto; Better guard the gold cause the Wild Bunch is after it. :D

Butch & Sundance would be so proud. :cool:

Re: Fake team names
 

This is tougher than it appears. Our team ,1708, is currently experiencing a creative block on this issue. Can't wait to read some entries.

Re: Fake team names
 

A name that I came up with a long time ago was Pi-Rho. (I originally came up with this for a super hero and wish nobody to use it.) The team logo would be a Rho symbol lit on fire with Pi in the center. My team would not use a moscot to help add to our mystique and to cut down on budget. But mostly to cut down on budget.

For those of you who don't know what Rho looks like:

Re: Fake team names
 

Team Caturday. Nothing but lots and lots of lolcats.

Re: Fake team names
 

I would most defiantly call the team Ghostbusters. I think that would be really cool! Then the drive team would be the ghostbusters. And in the stands people could cant, "Who you gonna call? GHOST BUSTERS!"
But thats what I think!


................... one day!:D

Re: Fake team names
 

I once had an idea for a ghostbusters halloween costume where the gun shot silly string and the backpack would play the theme song. That would be one cool costume. The image below is for reference to what their gun/pack looks like.

Re: Fake team names
 

That would be SOO cool to put the drive team in those. With the gun pack and the white jumpsuits they wear! That would make me laugh really hard!

Re: Fake team names
 

manbearpig hunters

or

toast busters!

Re: Fake team names
 

I joke around about funny / ridiculous team names all the time. I want to see a team called Team Noobsauce to come about. It'd be a great rookie name, but after a while I guess the team could outgrow it and then change it to Not So Noobsauce.

Re: Fake team names
 

I plan to start a team named Ninjaneering. The field crew would have full ninja suits, custom constructed of UnderArmor fabric so they can still breathe and not overheat. The rest of the team would have Ninja masks and tops with pocket protectors, or maybe black button down shirts with NINJANEERING across the back.

Oh, and Ninjaneering is my word, don't steal it. :P

Re: Fake team names
 

As a Mel Brooks fan, and a fan of Spaceballs in particular, I'd like to see a team named "Liquid Schwartz". You'd probably have to get Mr. Brooks' permission, but you might also get his sponsorship.

Re: Fake team names
 

Ok i would create a lil robot crew called Autobots and name the bots: Optimus Prime, Wheeljack, Bumble Bee, Ironhide, and Cliffjumper. I know im a total geek but i love both Transformers the movie and the cartoon!! It rock!!! :p

Re: Fake team names
 

well then how bout desepticons! (even though i love autobots more)

i would make on called... "DANGER! nerds at work!" or "love machines"

Re: Fake team names
 

Team 3916: Dead on Arrival, or DoA for short.

Re: Fake team names
 

Team Meow Meows
Team Moo Moos

;)

Re: Fake team names
 

i'm in ur shop drivin ur robuts

Team Lolcat
The Ceiling Cats
C Squared(Caption Cats)

The possibilities are endless with lolcats.

A few other team names I've come up with.

The Collective
B.O.R.G- Built On Robotics Genius
Team Enterprise(Everyone would have a Star Trek uniform)
Team Team(just to confuse people)
The Roman Robots(think roman uniforms)

Re: Fake team names
 

I would like to work with the Thunder Chickens and start the Lighting Turkeys and the Fighting Phesaent. I could imagine a dominating alliance going on there. It would be a legendary alliance.:cool:

Re: Fake team names
 

I agree, I've always thought about combining team names that I absolutely love...one of my favorites is the CheezyChickens...:)

Re: Fake team names
 

Please nobody use this but my friend and I have actually made a pact that after he comes out from RPI and I hopefully come out of Boston University, we will start a team called the Strom Troopers. Anyone know if a team has that name already. We already have ranks and positions planned out. Again, please don't use it, we really thought it all over while in Atlanta.:D

Re: Fake team names
 

Strom Troopers?!

On topic, I believe 1062 is the Storm Troopers (unless they changed names this year).

Re: Fake team names
 

Well we are in the process of creating a new team and this is my fav idea that we probably are not going to use.


Team ice cream - because everyone loves ice cream. "I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream" we could theme name our robots "rocky road" "chunky monkey" etc. and we could all dress as the good humor man and have a cart that plays the ice cream truck jingle. We had even thought we could put a soft serve machine in our pits :D

we would be the coolest team in FIRST ;-)

Re: Fake team names
 

the Thunder chickens should also start the Rainy Roosters.:cool:

Re: Fake team names
 

Or the Lightning Roosters?

Re: Fake team names
 

lol, i so can't wait till i'm out of college XD

Re: Fake team names
 

I would join this team...

Hmm... when I first joined Epsilon Delta I kept thinking about a mock fraternity some people I hung out with made years ago ... Delta Iota Epsilon... I think that would work for a robotics team... their motto was "Never say DIE..."

Re: Fake team names
 

how about XIIIth legion robotics ive been thinking about this for a long time but no one else on the team will approve of the name change :mad: it would be sweet!
1) learn some latin
2) the armor
3) having a BIG banner proclaming "the Empires legion"

Re: Fake team names
 

I've always liked the name, Event Horizon.
Intelligent yet simple.
Not to mention all of the logos I can think of would look pretty sweet on polos.

Re: Fake team names
 

Bite your tongue, young man. I think many of the older folks around here would agree with me that time spent at university is some of the best time of one's life.
Be careful wishing your life away - someday, your wish will come true.

Re: Fake team names
 

I don't really know, but I hope your wrong. Right now, I am in college and my life is nothing to enjoy. I get up, go to school, go home, have about an hour or two then go to bed...Then it starts all over again. What is there to enjoy? Oh well, I guess it could be worse. I could not have the hour of downtime.

Re: Fake team names
 

College life is what you make out of it. If you make time to do the fun things the experience can be wonderful. It will probably be the only time in most people's lives where they have the flexibility to do what they want to do when they want to it. The world is ahead of you, I urge you to make the best of your time and grab it while you still can.

Re: Fake team names
 

Playing with a team name generator earlier, and it spit out "Thunder Chickens".... hmmm....

Other promising results:
"Red Hot Oompa Loompas"
"The Mighty Mutant Moose People"
"Cha Cha Mermaids"
"Karate Kicking Kangaroos"
"Fluffy White Bunnies"
"Sandpit Ninjas"
"Spider Pigs"
"Unfrozen Caveman Lawyers"

Re: Fake team names
 

2 teams i always wanted

Blues Brothers Robotics team... your drivers wear suits and dark sunglasses and their control system is handcuffed to them

the other is Rogue Squadron Robotics team wearing Forest Green flight suits and fighter pilot helmets

Re: Fake team names
 

A link with some different kinds of names...

Perhaps a team name can be extracted from one of those?

Don

Re: Fake team names
 

Is there an Acme Robotics? Because that would be awesome lol

Re: Fake team names
 

That would be REALLY cool/creative. But I kind of dont like the name "Team Ice Cream." Possibly a different way of putting ice cream, would be really cool. Some great fund raisers could also come from the name.

Re: Fake team names
 

Do a search on "dave barry band names"... lots of funny names.

One I liked, "The Flying Shards".

Re: Fake team names
 

team PANDA.
LOL jk, sorry guys couldnt resist. I bet I can come up with a cute shirt design though.


But, I like team HOUSE
team colors: Purple, black, silver
Hot Operations Using Student Engineering


Who's HOUSE? Our HOUSE! ;)

Re: Fake team names
 

Mine would be, "They're the Best." Just because i would love to hear the commentator. "2701, They're the Best, going for the hurdle....got it!!!!" Our Mascot would be The Fonz. Our symbol would be the number, ex. 2701, on a pedestal and on fire.

Re: Fake team names
 

For some reason, "They're the Best" reminds me of Mario Kart. I think one of them has a catch phrase of: "I'm the Best". I am thinking that it is probably Toad but am not really sure.

Re: Fake team names
 

Formal Name: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water
Informal Name: "Mostly Water"

What you need is "More Cowbell"

"Cowbell Solo" (someone already uses this as a CD account name)

"Welcome to Earth"

"The Faberians" sponsored by Faber College

Blake

Re: Fake team names
 

If my plans work for starting an FRC team in India later on, then it'll be called Heat.

...obvious reasons lol

Re: Fake team names
 

Crazy Eddy, the robot would be the Crazy Eddy Probe. The teams goal wouldn't be to win a regional specifically but to do something really new and cool with the robot each year, especially concentrating on technical innovation.

Re: Fake team names
 

That would be the sweetest team ever!
I would most definitely move to wherever that team is and join it!
you could name the robots Jake and Elwood!

Re: Fake team names
 

There is an Acme Robotics in FTC but I believe not in FRC.

Also my name for a team would be: Team HAL 9000, their slogan would be, "Sorry I can't do that Dean." :D

Re: Fake team names
 

I remember I asked Exploding Bacon how they came up with their team name at the Championship this year and they said that they were also playing with a name generator, and when they came across "Exploding Bacon" it stuck.

Re: Fake team names
 

how about this for a team name "lunchables brigade" at one point i made a guild in world of warcraft called "lunchable brigade" (after the premade meals you loved so much when you were a little kid)

Re: Fake team names
 

If I could start a new team and name it, it woud be run by the current UFH and be named "Mike T Walker and the Curious Kittens"

Re: Fake team names
 

i think a cool name would be, probably the pigs of science. (tribute to invader zim) that would be great.

Re: Fake team names
 

Team AND-no, it doesn't stand for anything, it just makes coming up with alliance names easier.
