My prediction is that the new FTC for 2009-2010 will be called
Hot Shot(s). The most important piece of evidence is a unindexed sub-forum on forums.usfirst.org about Hot Shot. All I did was look on Google for "first tech challenge hot shot" and it was my first result.

I arrive at the name when I have my brother identify the Transformers toy in one of Ken Johnson's hints. "Hot Shot" seems to roll off the tongue quickly, right?
The name is also supported by the use of the infrared (heat-seeing) sensor in the kits.
I can agree it may tie in with a popular sport thanks to the Cedar Park event center hint. (I can't believe some people actually thought it was the Russian flag...) My bet would be soccer-style.
I gave this stuff thought but I am psychic also.
EDIT: I was able to read the coaches manual, and although "Hot Shot" is not mentioned in it, it is part of the link to the PDF.
