Our team has been naming our robots since our inception, simply because we find it fun, and like someone else mentioned earlier, it gives each robot its own personality in a way. We usually name our robots after some silly joke someone makes, such as our most recent robot, which was named "Richina". This happened because there are literally 3 mentors on our team with the first name of Rich, and some of my teammates wanted a girl's name for once. As a joke, someone suggested "Richina (The female version of Rich)", and it stuck.

I think having robot names can be helpful, assuming everyone in the conversation knows the robot you're talking about by name. Within our team, it is helpful because we're still a pretty young team and most of us have been involved since the beginning, so we know basically everything there is to know about the robots. However, in the event that not everyone knows a robot by name, then that could lead right back to the original problem.
