I would caution you not to change to something like ninjineers, because in a few years, it's just going to feel dated. if you really want to change something, keep the ohms part, but I really think you have a good name already.

Agreed. I absolutely love my team name, Westside Boiler Invasion, because its kind of hard to say what it is. You can't hold a boiler invasion, and you can't really visualize it. But it definitely sticks out more than the usual "tech-gear-guys" or the "Ninja-monkey-chicken-bots".
I like a name that has some incorporation of Ohms, OP, but if you really want to change it, nows the time. You could do something with the region you're in, ex. Westside is the "slang" name of our school west lafayette high school, and we are right next to Purdue University, the Boilermakers.
If you want some inspiration, run through the team list on the blue alliance.Try to go for something unique, like 16 (Bomb squad), 449 (The Blair Robot Project) or 51 (wings of fire). As great as teams are like 148 and 118, team names with "robo", no offense, are getting quite old. (But obviously at the time of creation of their team, "robo" wasnt too old yet.)
Good Luck,

P.S. If i got to choose your team name, i'd go "Electromotive Force". Its got a cool ring to it.
