A robotics team can spend six weeks designing a machine and somehow save naming it until the night before registration closes.
These ideas are built around prototyping, controls, code, sensors, fabrication, and competition day, with names that sound like student builders rather than generic sci-fi villains.

What I would choose
I'd choose Prototype Pending for a student team and Control Loop Club for a controls-heavy group. Competition teams should check event rules and existing registrations before finalizing a public name.
