We were saving this name for when we reformed as a new team for a year so we could win the rookie award (our ultimate goal). However, now that there actully is a team 3333 our plan has been foiled so you can have our name if you want it.

The ThunderCarp

It also doubles as a swear when your mad

ThunderCarp!

P.S. I love you Thunderchickens!

Andrew and Bryan:

I actually was on the team when this was made up. Atlanta and chocolate milk and all that.

when in doubt, go DISNEY!! WALL-E!
lol. jk. but in all seriousness, everybody who has already posted is right. All you need is something that is memorable!!!!! It has to be something that stands out to people. As long as you make it memorable, it doesnt matter what the teams name is. make yourselves stand out!
and if you feel the need to include ninjas, i think that we would all be VERY ok with that! ninjas are cool!!! lol
good luck!

Win-Win Situation

[Karibou]

1) Please please please please PLEASE don't name yourself "Robocats" "Robodogs" "Robotic Eagles" or anything of the like. There are plenty of teams out there that already use those names, and it gets confusing pretty quickly. There's only one ThunderChickens, only one Exploding Bacon, one Los Pollos Locos, and it's great to be able to just name names rather than including a number with the name. Not to say "make sure you have a name that NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS" (we're The Gearheads - there are other "Gearheads" teams, but we're typically known by our name on a regional level), just make sure it's not incredibly typical and overused.

2) Make the name appropriate, and find a simple image to go with it. 1189 was originally "Breaking Pointe" (we're from Grosse Pointe, and are a combination of two rival high schools: the name was pretty straightforward to those who knew the story behind it), with the mascot of a rabid squirrel. We became The Gearheads after a freshman photoshopped the yellow diamond image. When the logo started appearing everywhere, we realized how much the rabid squirrel undermined the support of our sponsors. Also, printing that image on t-shirts, etc. was pretty darn expensive.

How about "The Root of all Evil" and for your shirt have a Devilish Smiley face under the "Square Root" radical just a thought? Opinions?

[ExTexan]

Maybe you should go where every other FRC question is answered: The Manual!

The Minor Protusions
Autonomous Mode
The Frame Perimeters
The Bumper Zones
Kit of Parts
Outermost Exterior Vertices

or you could have some fun with

Line Dancers
Field Faults!

Forget the devilish smiley; just stick Dave's head under the square root. If NASA will let you, that is...

P.S. Put a robot word like "robotic" or "tech" in for the town/city and it will make it have to do with robotics.
