Meh, that's true in some cases. Adding those prefixes/suffixes can make it sound both cliche AND unprofessional in some cases. I guess it's all a matter of personal opinion and how we approach being on a Robotics team. I am very proud to be a part of my team (As is everyone else with their respective teams, I assume) and I feel that a professional sounding team name really adds to that.
