My all time favorite Robotics team name was the "Pink Sparkle Fairy Unicorns"

Yep. An all-girl team. Their teacher says they described it as "the most intimidating name we could come up with... it's one thing to say you lost to the 'Super Spider Death Bots', but no one wants to say they lost to the 'Pink Sparkle Fairy Unicorns'."

As it was they took fifth in VEX world programming skills.

A unique team name should also allow you to build a visual presence around the name. I don't think we have a team named "The Propellor Heads" or "The Rocket Surgeons" (that's what you get when you cross Brain Surgery and Rocket Science, right...?)

And take it from one who knows... if your team name starts with "Robo_____" or ends in "_____botics" you'll likely end up sharing a team name with someone. Better to be the "Dung Beetles of Doom" than yet another "____bots". At least everyone will remember you!
