Picking a Team Name

     When choosing a team name, there are three things to keep in mind - Creativity, Spirit and Uniqueness.  A successful team name will give you good ideas for spirit wear, not be completely humiliating and will impress the judges.

Creativity

     Choose a creative name.  Don’t pick a name like The Dogs or The Cats.  Pick something that has reasoning behind it.  We picked the Purple Protons, because a proton is something that has positive energy.  This name was picked to show our positive outlook on robotics and life in general.  Also, a name like “Loose Screws” is something creative based on things used in robotics.

Spirit

     You might want to consider how you will use spirit with your name.  For example, it is helpful to choose a color in the name.  When you choose a color it opens up huge spirit wear opportunities and gives you a cool sort of trademark.  For example, we’re the “Purple Protons”.  This helps us center around the color purple.  It is something that is easy for other people to remember and it gives a great base for us to center team spirit.

Unique

     Pick a name that is unique.  When you do that the judges will remember you and other teams won’t get confused by you and another team.  No name is too wacky.  The judges will remember oh those _________________________. I remember that interview I like them.  Would you remember The Robots or The Purple Protons more?

Good luck in choosing your name.  Have fun and stay positive when you build your team identity.

Stay positive, Robo people!
