Help With Robotics Team Name

Washington Washers?
Washers?
According to CowScout there isn't 1 team with washer in there name.
Just make sure you check the name on CowScout ad the blue alliance. Theirs nothing that made me more mad than finding out that some newer team copied our name and claims to be the first.

Remind me, is "Yooper Troopers" team 3771 (defunct) or team 4988?

Hmm...maybe something catchy like Washbotics? Or Illonoids?

You might want to see if the students on the team want to take a vote on the name you'll use, and whatever name your team chooses you should be sure to stick with it, just to have a consistent image throughout the years. At first we were simply known as Adams Robotics, but instead built our team image on AdamBots for over a decade now (pay no attention to the one year we were called the Golden Eyes).

Agreed. Whatever you end up with, try to get people to committed to it and build a brand around it. Even if you end up going with something relatively "less interesting," build an identity, whether it's with lights or washing machine hats or anything else. Your team's branding is the first thing people notice, to the point of making your name less important (example, my team, Blue Twilight, doesn't use Blue Twilight so much as Team 2220, and most of our branding is LEDs everywhere and stars).
