There's only an issue if someone from 1024 says it is. I don't think they will. (I know that there is a BeachBots in California, and they don't object to the much younger Beachbotics in South Carolina.)
There was like 3 or 4 Robocats teams at Buckeye one year.
The name is just a name. Having a team get bent out of shape over a name would be be nearly as dumb as getting bent out of shape over similar colors (which is guaranteed to happen). If it suits your team (and is in good taste) I say go for it! It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks so long as you know who you are.
