My team number (180) really doesn't come up that much. Ironically, we do have 180 days in each school year, so anytime someone mentions that, my team pops into my head. It's more other team numbers that I see more often. Like Team 76 I think of often..is that even a team? I don't know. My school and my street are off of State Road 76. Maybe it's not a team number. I don't know. I just think of it as one. Maybe I have a screw loose..or maybe more than one..

88
 

Ours is 88.

Nothing really corresponds to it in my daily life, but all kinds of great rhymes appeared at the competitions.

I basically cannot look at a number without thinking of a team.... the night before Mayhem on the Merrimack, Lee and I were pulling a traditional FIRST-a-holics all nighter ;) and suddenly I looked at the clock to see it was 2:22am....the first thing out of my mouth? "Hey, the Tigertrons from Tunkannock, PA! They'll be at Mayhem!" It's also sad when in math class you start doing things like taking the square roots of one team, and the answer comes out to be another.....I do things like that faaaaar too often :)

Ours (254) doesn't really come up that often, but I did see it today on a commercial for the new Big Bertha Driver. Apparently it has a "254% bigger sweatspot". I haven't really seen it anywhere else.

Yay, go 254 :cool:

veryy very sad
 

we think that when school gets back in that some of the team members may have gottedn "497" tatoos

this is eaither a really cool thing or a very sad thing depends on which side of the fence you are on

Re: veryy very sad
 

I would just point out to them that if they want to do FIRST in college they'll probably have to switch teams...

Matt who would feel very odd if he had a large "7" tatooed to himself now....

146/121
 

Team Numbers,

Well I rembember back in 1997 when they first insituted team numbers. Back then Blue Lightning was team 121 and I always liked that number. However FIRST decided the following year to renumber so we became 146. I think that year they took the teams alphabetized them and then assigned teams their number. Then they started the whole number as you come into the program method.

As far as obsessing w/the number....I'd say I am most obbsessed w/the memories of the team. However I do notice myself looking @ the clock on my computer every once and a while and thinking "It's 1:46pm" or 126 or 131 or 237 ;-)

So yeah I guess that was my ramble about team numbers.

Re: Re: veryy very sad
 

if you had a large 7 tatooed to youreself now you could just add a large 3 after it...

Re: Re: Re: veryy very sad
 

Yeah, but who says I wouldn't feel odd if I had a large 73 tatooed on me? ;)

Matt who has team spirit but not quite THAT much....

Not quite 97
 

Actually, I think first has always had team numbers, or rookie year in 1996 we were team number 23. I'm now sure how it was assigned, but judgein gon the amount of teams, I believe it assigned alphabetically.
In 1997, we were team 63, and I know it was assigned alphabeticaly.

In 1998 we were team 88, and we've been ever since.

(see the pic...) 'nuff said :)

and no... that is not added in after, pole #177 really is right there in front of the entrance to epcot :)
