Re: Coolest team name?

I like the the name "Thunderchickens," since its both imposing and silly at the same time (but more imposing, especially this year ).

Also, Cheesy Poofs.

I also think alternate team names, or team nicknames, are cool since it kind of gives a sense of closeness in FIRST. Take team 71 for example, their official team name is Team Hammond, but everybody knows which team I am referring to when I say Beatty.

I like acronyms too...

But yeah, thunder chickens, exploding bacon, bovine intervention, robot casserole, and robot mafia would be some of my favorites.

Re: Coolest team name?

A lot of people have praised our team name "Robotomy", a play on lobotomy.

Re: Coolest team name?

Wow no one has mentioned the Duct Tape Bandits?!?! Not only is the name awesome, they have the gear to match My favorite team name in a long time!

When I was in high school, I think my favorite was the Baxter Bomb Squad! Glad they kept their name!

Re: Coolest team name?

I find myself liking the really "powerful" sounding names even more now.

Rolling Thunder
Texas Torque
Royal Assault
Delphi E.L.I.T.E
Dawgma
just to name a few...


I would like to think MORT is a powerful sounding name for a team. For some reason people think its supposed to represent death. It's definitely not, haha.

You spelled it wrong!....

(psss...its TechnoKats..as in K for Kokomo, and K for Kokomo WildKats (school)..)


oh well..everyone spells it wrong for some reason....there was even a "joke going around" and it seemed like everything that had TechnoKats on it was spelled wrong thanks to Mike Soukup...i even think the Beatty quiz at Nationals had it spelled wrong...
