Best FIRST Team Name?

I'm going through the FIRST roster trying to find which team was the first to register in my state (It looks like Perpetual Chaos), and stumbled across some pretty sweet team names. Has anyone seen (or been on?) a team with an epic name? I found:
254- The Cheesy Poofs
326- Teamsuperpowermaticultramegasuperlativeawesometast icdelicioushowli-
ngunieagles
442- Redstone Robotics
677- Murphy's Outlaws
702- Bagel Bytes
1415- The Flying Pumpkins
1504- Desperate Penguins
1540- Flaming Chickens
1646- Precision Guesswork
1702- (none)
1875- Purple Haze
1902- Exploding Bacon
2108- Team Awkward Turtle
2499- Super BAMF Awesome Squad
2538- The Plaid Pillagers
2550- Skynet
2655- Flying Platypi
2667- How 'bout dem apples
2880- Finger Puppet Mafia
3114- To be determined
3236- TRIFORCE
3286- The Rocket Surgeons
3469- The Spanish Inquisition
3637- The Daleks
3645- Runtime Error
3738- xx^3 xy^2
3780- Robot Unicorn Attack
3828- 12 Pretty Duckies
4008- Theodore Roosevelt's Disco Haircut

Re: Best FIRST Team Name?

Personally I like teams with simpler names, like Aces High or Mechanical Mayhem. Chop Shop is another good one.

I have to say, my favorite team name is "Mechanical Mayhem", it just says so much in two words.

Re: Best FIRST Team Name?

I do like Mechanical Mayhem, but another one of my favorites is The Hedgehogs - mainly because one of the members carried around a giant stuffed hedgehog last season.

Re: Best FIRST Team Name?

Not to be a bit biased but...Texas teams seem to have really ringing names.

Robonauts
Robowranglers
Texas Torque
Texplosion
Spectrum

A lot of these teams also have very crisp and classy logos .

Re: Best FIRST Team Name?

+1 for 1986 Team Titanium. +1 for 16 The (Baxter) Bomb Squad.

Maybe I am just a geek, but I've always liked 229 Division by Zero.

And oh, yeah, back to the OP -- I was there when 931 picked the name Perpetual Chaos. Still my all time favorite.

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.

Im going to agree that texas has some nice names that have some awesome logos. Team 2468, Team Appreciate, 1296 Full Metal Jackets, 2587 Discobots, 3310 Blackhawk,4410 TriKzR4Kidz, 3370 Aftershock. But Mechatronics, and Simbotics. But Stark Industries has to be my favorite!!!

Re: Best FIRST Team Name?

I liked a new name I saw this year
