Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
I'm curious, what is the reason for the switch?

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
Me too. How does a team just change their number?

But seriously, there's got to be a back story for this. Inquiring minds want to know! |
Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
I think they seized the former 2451 at their robotics workshop and after weeks of starvation 2451 finally gave in and surrendered their number. But aside my creative mind i'm sure there is a real reason for the switch

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
Did they absorb another team sometime between last season and now, with this being the compromise they came to on numbering? Last well known example of this that comes to mind is 47+65=51.

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
The team separated from the organization they were part of, the organization had rights to the number and chose to keep it as part of the organization.

If a veteran team splits from their parent organization, they can recycle an old number because technically they are not classified as a real rookie. See #3 http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...-team-criteria and I believe also #6? |
Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
The organization holds rights to the number 2949, so we had to be given a new number, and as Akash said, instead of giving us a rookie # (5000+) they recycle or use a number that was never given. FIRST has many numbers along the way that they never used exactly for this purpose.

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
If you are giving up the number, how are you able to keep the name then? Since you are branching off, why doesnt the organization want to keep the name?

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
Team names can be duplicated (ex. Robodogs, Cyberhawks, Robovikes, etc.).
Team #'s cannot be duplicated -Nick |

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
I wonder if this means I can now make money for having a vintage PWNAGE card and button now...

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
How does one gain rights to a number? I'd like to claim 9128 for myself.

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
2949 is not continuing as a team. There will not be a team competing this season under that number. So assuming no new rookie teams call themselves pwnage, we will still be the only ones.

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
This seems to be a situation similar to what happened with 64 and 39. I don't know all the details, but after 2005 64 ceased to be a team. I believe several people involved with the former 64 started a new team, without their primary sponsor. Because they did not qualify as "rookies" under the guidelines linked by Akash, they were given the number 39, a number relatively close to their former designation, rather than a 2006 rookie number.

Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
I may be wrong, but I thought I remember hearing that 2741 (Method 2 Madness) became 2949, following the 2009 season. Am I mistaken? If not, it would be the 3rd number for pwnage.

Another reason we separated is because we were interested in becoming a 501c3 and our organization was not. Now that the team has separated, the team has already begun the process for becoming a 501c3. -Nick |
Re: PWNAGE 2451 New Number
Any particular reason you jumped years?
