Best team #'s
 

I was wondering wat everyone's picks for best team #'s are. I only ask this because we get alot of comments about our team # because of its "other meanings".

My picks are...
1 (Because they can always say YAY! Were #1!!!)
21(They are of age ;) )
69(A little biased)
111(its a good #)
999 \
- - --l(hey Y not?)
1000/
and
1300(because my lucky # is 13 and there is no #13!)

Re: Best team #'s
 

I'm partial to 1108. But that's because I see it before I go to bed every night.

I also envy teams 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ,64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and will envy 2048. (some team don't actually exist but if they did I would envy them)

Re: Best team #'s
 

469 ... :)
I also like 666. and 1337.

Of course, the BEST number, by far is 42.
if you dont know why, I'm ashamed of you. :p :cool:

Re: Best team #'s
 

Was it skipped or did the team cease to exist?

I choose my team number as really cool because, in binary, it's a palidrome (same forward as backward).
1317 = 10100100101

:)

:)

And what's special about 42? :)

Re: Best team #'s
 

Some teams pick numbers b/c it either sounds good or relates to how many times they have done something

Like the previous posts

#1 - were number 1
#666 - well I don't know if there is a team I pray for those who encounter that one

#18 - Females Legal for everything (almost)
#21 - Males Legal for everything (almost)

#13 - I pray for those who encounter this one as well.

etc....

It's weird how a team can be created and given the option on what number they want. It's almost like throwing a bunch of numbers in that are not being used and the new team picking just 1 of those numbers and bingo thats your team. Or is it a secret account # with FIRST

My Acct# with FIRST would be 0000
not so long ago it was 05**

Re: Best team #'s
 

going with the whole math/science thing id have to say 314, 722 and 162 have the coolest numbers. but personaly, i like the #18 cause of all the symbology that goes with it. oh and can't forget good old 365. we're involved in FIRST 365 days per year. :D

Re: Best team #'s
 

Definitely 42, 256, and of course 114 :p

Re: Best team #'s
 

After going through the list i have of info from any and all teams that have been in FIRST since 1992 heres the following informaion.

13 did exist but they dont exist anymore, heres there info.
Team 666 and 1337 though have never existed.

Re: Best team #'s
 

They were the Baxter Beast I believe...I wish i still had that photo when all the baxter teams were 13(definitely out of it from my knowledge), 14(now 312: HW), 15(Coqui, but i don't know if they are still around), 16(BBS)...

Re: Best team #'s
 

A mentor was telling me that he found a giant spraypainted sign from Team 42 abandoned after a regional, so now its hanging in his office with a can of Campbell's Primordial Soup

I'm surprised FIRST never gave out #666, personally I'd love to have it. Any multiple of 18 or power of 2 would be pretty neat as well, but I think 42 would be the all time best team number.

Of course if you don't like your number you can always convert it to hex and see if that helps any.

Re: Best team #'s
 

I think we have officially reached the stage of having too much time on our hands. :rolleyes:

Re: Best team #'s
 

what else are we sapose to do now that all the regionals are over and we have an entire 12 days with nothing else to do well maybe there is some halo :cool:

Re: Best team #'s
 

thats what makes being addicted to FIRST so fun :)

Re: Best team #'s
 

I'm partial to 1110 because it doubles as a binary number (14)

I would also have to say 777, its just plain lucky.

Re: Best team #'s
 

Besides my own team number which has my lucky number (27) and The Intimidator's number in it as well (3) I would have to pick

18 - Not so much that it is the legal age for a few things, but that an Electric Car team I am/was on in College has that number.

27 - It's my lucky number, and I want a shirt from that team as well!!! Team RUSH I believe it is?

Team 44 - My favorite NASCAR Driver drove that for a while, with the coolest (die-cast) car company as a sponsor. - But unfortunately the team does not exist anymore - meaning no shirt trading. :(

Team HYPER's number - The obvious reason :rolleyes::p :D

As for High numbers, you have to love your own millenium team.
1237. They are (kind of) local to us. We competed with them at the NYC regional their rookie year.

edit: How can I forget a number... Well I did..

79 - Just cause that is the year I was born.

Re: Best team #'s
 

my favorit number would have to be 802 because its my lucky number and 82 but 365 is always a good choice ;)

Re: Best team #'s
 

i personally like the # 1337, 455, and anyother puns u can think off.

Re: Best team #'s
 

86 - My year of birth

Interesting story:
Back in '02 (Zone Zeal) we formed our first FIRST team, 927, Nova first. After the '02 season, we split into 2 homeschooling teams.
The First split team was given Team # 1123, (Aim Robotics; kudos, btw)
Our team, the 2nd one, was given Team # 1132 (RAPTAR Robotics)

Odd coincidence, eh? ;)

Re: Best team #'s
 

Other than my own team number, 42 and 1000. I just think those would be cool FIRST team numbers.

Re: Best team #'s
 

I don't know where they're from or who they are, but Team 42 has my respect for the rest of my life? Why? Because 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Now, which team number is the question?

Re: Best team #'s
 

Since everyone loves team 42 (including myself), here you go:

Re: Best team #'s
 

the funny thing about all of this is the number of us who knew why the number 42 is cool without it being explained.

Re: Best team #'s
 

Sadly, though, there are a number of us who didn't know what 42 meant before it was explained :-C

Re: Best team #'s
 

In our rookie year of 2001, we were given the number 911. I thought it'd be cool to have that since it's kind of... liek.... the emergency phone number and all. Maybe make a pun of it. But we decided otherwise and got a new number (783)... and good thing too, 'cause a year later, having 911 for our number would probably be a bad thing.

Re: Best team #'s
 

I personally like these teams:

384; 1114; 47; 11; 217; 343; 95; 1319; 122; 1402

Re: Best team #'s
 

I envy team #42. :cool:
I found a funny website so I just thought I'd put a link for all the odd people who don't know about how wonderful 42 is:
Click here to experience the wonder of 42! :D

Re: Best team #'s
 

Ha. My team number rules. At the start of every match, they're always cheering us on.

Re: Best team #'s
 

what about 272??

Re: Best team #'s
 

lol! That team # is one of the most famous ones to boot. I'm gonna cast a vote in for this one also.

Re: Best team #'s
 

Whoever made that sight had way too much time on their hands... :)

Re: Best team #'s
 

Any more time than those of us talking about the best team number? :)

42% of statistics are made up anyway so I doubt the site took too much time.
