here are a few stats on this year's crop of rookie teams based on the counts from the various regionals

there are exactly 200 rookie teams registered in all of the regionals

the most rookies are in the Peachtree Regional with a total of 30

the least rookies are registered for the NYC regional with only 1

If there are 20 students per team that means about 4000 more kids have joined the FIRST family

Welcome!

And to randomly add to this thread:

Wisconsin has 3 Rookie Teams:


1064 Milwaukee School Of Engineering & Milwaukee Trade and Technical High School Milwaukee, WI USA

1091 Quest Technologies, Inc./HED Inc & Hartford Union High School Hartford, WI USA

1103 Blackwell Lakefront Services/Delavan Darien High School & Administrator/Delavan Darien High School Darien, WI USA

The state with the most rookie teams is, well I was going to go through the map on the FIRST page, but I then realized that would take way too much time.....Maybe later...

:D

I want to give a big CD welcome to team 1086, Deep Run High. If I didn't get the chance to stay at Tucker, I would have gone there.

HELLO!

Team 294 is mentoring the following 3 teams...
1047 Irvine, CA
Woodbridge High School

1115 Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica High School & New Roads School

*no #, on LA Regional wait list* South High Torrance, CA


#848 is mentoring...
1105 Los Angeles, CA
USC MESA & Washington Prep HS


CA has 28 rookie teams registered, but our South High will hopefully be registered after getting NASA grant, and thus will be #29 CA rookie team.

The reason there are so many Georgia rookies this year is the combined efforts of NASA grants and students at Georgia Tech. NASA is giving out $6000 grants to teams going to the Peachtree Regional, and GT is sponsoring about 10 teams this year. This isn"t making our chances for Rookie All-Star look that great, but at least it will be a fun regional to take part in, as there will be utter chaos at most times. We"re even thinking about mentoring another team (who says rookies can"t be mentors?)

There's rookies from Germany, Brazil, and the UK coming to the J&J and Long Island regionals. Are there rookies from afar at your regional?

Actually, they'll be dropping Midwest and are working very hard on funding... Things are specially ugly this year in Brazil, money-wise...

Erhm... somehow, I don't think that Georgia Tech is sponsoring 10 teams this year, fuffel. Perhaps *mentoring* with the "Technology Enrichment Sessions," persay, but not financially sponsoring.

Then again, what would I know?

Tunmin is right. The Georgia Tech group is not sponsoring ten teams, only two for this year. We have about 11 high schools attending our Technology Enrichment sessions (rookie training sessions). We are also helping with team recruitment for the regional so we are helping the other 20 rookies get started as well. Keeps us busy :D .

To all of the rookies:

Welcome,
Everyday you'll pass by open doors because they were too obscure or you were not sure of what to expect. FIRST will change your life, you can count on that. Cherish your days,your teammates, and your mentors; you cannot put a value to it. Six weeks are not a long time, don't waste them. Good Luck! If you ever need any help, remember this is FIRST-we live for helping each other. Don't be afraid to ask, but don't be shocked when you get 20 replies.:)
