We do have fun with the label maker. Most bots have a common "If you can read this flip me over" on the bottom, as well as reasonable part names ("the beak" from 2007), but others have no purpose. Examples:
"You spin me right round baby right round" - 2009 crab pods, 2006 ball sorter
"Handicapped Entrance" - 2009 sucker, 2004 sucker
"Wheeeeeeeeeeee" - 2009 shooter wheel
Some parts are also named, generally not with actual names. Most ball collectors are named "Ball-O-Fiers", we once had a tubulator (2007), the initial shooter in 2006 was the "flingificationator", and the ramp-climbing feet on the 2003 robot were named "happy feet".
Some names originate in "chetspeak", the way Chet talks. Ball-O-Fiers are a great example.
