Standardizing on one title would be good. I prefer "Winner" rather than "Champion" to describe teams on the alliance that wins the final elimination matches.
"Champion" would be appropriate for teams that are the sole representatives of one event to compete at a higher level -- but that's not the way FIRST works. Each Regional Event can be represented by several teams at the FRC Championship Event, and winning the eliminations is only one way that a team can become one of those representatives.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
