Honorable mention for the team Iām working with: 9015
Their name?
Questionable Engineering
8415 Dino Nuggies.
Enough said.
Not a crazy name by any means, but our team name is an acronym! Weāre Team 5459 Ipswich T.I.G.E.R.S - Technologically Inclined Group of Engineering Robotics Students. Doubles as our school mascot!
This team and Sushi Squad are my current top 2.
BREAD, Chicken Bot Pie, Robot Casserole, SPAM are all close behind.
Iām noticing a themeā¦
I donāt believe itās a current team, but whoever gets the team number 1337, theyād have so many great name possibilities. Also, team 2600, itās a phreaking awesome number.
Yes, neither of those are team names, but you canāt get better numbers than those.
1337 was never issued as a team number for the obvious reason.
I wonder why that one in particular? There were other, um, āmeaning already establishedā team numbers assigned.
One more came to mindā¦
Iāve always liked 229 Division By Zero
As far as I know only two team number were never intended to be used. The only other one I recall is 666. (The listing on TBA is for a number only used in off season events)
This led me to a quick check on TBA, and I learned team 69 is in new england and will be competing this season! Nice.
There is a local FTC team which has the best number - 13666. I covet this number and would name it āDevilās in the Detailsā if it was mine. (ftr- it is Tractor Technicians in Training- Orange.)
There is another number I believe was skipped intentionally - itās in the 1000s and has some pretty awful implications that I would hope no teams would want to be associated with.
Letās just say we should count ourselves lucky FRC didnāt reach the 900s until 2002.
I could see that one being skipped even without that. Iād hate to be the guy that misunderstood the instruction to ācall 911ā when their team was looking to strategize for their next match!
also, the far less worse 1134
has never been assigned to a team.
my team (the KwarQs) was almost named āthe broccoli stubsā
4614 - Purple Monkey Dishwasher, from Australia
Torquenado is the name of one of our old robots, so whenever I see that name I get really confused haha.
