Rookie Teams
 

Does anyone know how many rookie teams there are this year? (2002-2003)

i think so far its from 1000 - about 1070ish, so 70 new teams, about

Wow. That's a fairly good amount. I was thinking a lot less than that...:D

there are teams from 1000 to 1072 so there are 73 rookie teams so far this year

It's probably too early to tell how many there will be. I would imagine that a lot of rookie teams are still organizing and figuring out what they are going to sign up for. There may be some last minute additions and some drop offs as money turns up or doesn't.

im starting a rookie team
 

Hightstown Highschool is starting a team we dont have a number yet. And today we are siging up for rutgers reginal today we just needed our fed x number or some shiping thing from the school. We are being mentored by team 25 raider robotics from NTBHS. They are helping us out alot. Thanks!!! OUR TEAM NEEDS MONEY!

Rookie teams...
 

My team (team 1037) just got our number last week. This is our first year too! We have a pretty good team. . . kinda small right now. . . but for the most part, everyone is pitching in and taking on like three jobs per person.

Hello from Team 1072, the Harker Robotics Team! =)

Thanks to 115 for helping us through this year!

Rookie Teams

Re: Rookie Teams
 

Last year there were 650ish teams......This year there are "over 800 teams attending 24 regional events"....my math tells me then that there are at least 150 new teams (altho that would be affected based on the number of teams that do not come back),

Actually there are only 632 teams signed up so far this year. The highest rookie number is 1104 but 1025 is non-existant so you do the math.

Does the FIRST site have listings of the new "rookie" team for 2002-2003?

Best you could do is this site and go to the bottom.

New team 1105 from LA

Indiana Rookie Teams
 

There are a lot more Indiana rookie teams than expected this year. I think five is an incredible amount in a state that is mostly rural and doesn't have many resources! Then again, Indiana has a lot of powerhouse teams, and every one of the veterans from Indiana teams have helped the rookies get off the ground. I hope every state and all rookie teams this year get as much support from veterans in their state as we did.

wow....up to 1105 now, hehe. my prediction is up to 1250 this year, by the time registration ends

my prediction is 1173 so RAGE can have a millenium team!:D

Do any of you know if a team #37 still exists? I'm thinking it did at one time, but I haven't found anything on them...there's a team 38 and stuff, but no 37...:(
