Discuss.
1. I think every team should name their robots, but I don't expect anyone not on the team to remember them. I can't remember offhand other teams' robot names apart from the most literal ones (Simbot Jordan played the basketball game). I refer to most robots as "Team No + Year."

2. I'm a big fan of robot names that commit to a theme that makes sense with the team name. All of 4930's robots have been named after Muppets.

3. I haven't noticed a huge change from previous years.
