The 1993 Chairman's award winner was then-team 7. Team numbers changed every year until 1998. The current team 7 was started in 1997.

Does anyone know what happened to the "AT&T Bell Labs & Science High School" team?

It's bothering me that a team that won a chairman's award is now defunct.

It should also be noted that 7 isn't the only retired Chairman's Award-winning team; there's also 23 and 144 (and 16 took a year off after their win).

Yes, however, some of the leaders of team 144 now run team 1038.

As a former mentor on the renumbered Team 7 (Team007), I would be interested also.

This particular renumbering caused many minor mishaps over the years. One of the ups AND downs was a special invite to the kickoff a few years ago. The warm fuzzy feeling lasted about 30 seconds until I realized they were thinking the Chairman's team, before the renumbering. I said "we'd love to come but ..." :)

I think most of the issues have been ironed out for renumbered teams. We have a team here in Maryland that will be receiving a recycled number this year.
