Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

I think the double registered teams are teams that have registered for the championship.

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

omutton asked for retired team numbers, not actual teams. The retired numbers are all the numbers not being used up to the new teams. This is because since 1999 or 2000, the teams have all been consecutively numbered. But a question I have is if a team wants to take a year off...to gain funds and what not, can they register the following year with their original team number or do they have to get a new number?

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

As far as I know, yes, a returning team would keep its number. And any other status, such as being a 1992 team, Chairman's, etc. (The 1992 team thing is from WildStang, which took 1993 off if memory serves me right.)

Wow - That's a lot of teams that Raised the Bar, but haven't signed up to participate this year.

Re: Schools that participated last year, but not signed up yet...
 

435 isn't registered for anything?

Hope everything's alright up there--it'd be a shame for the National Champions to be unable to defend their title!

Re: Schools that participated last year, but not signed up yet...
 

My mistake. I went through the whole list, just to make sure no one was on there that shouldn't have been.

double registerd teams in DB.
 

OK maybe i can help many of you out and inform you as to why many teams show up as double and soon maybe triple on the FIRST "database" here. What really is happening is the web address that you are linking through is called a query. What that is, is a string of commands for a database that is accessing the information you are seeking in the query. Well as it appears, this query that people keep referring to is really asking to "show all teams registered at any and all events". Thus meaning if a team is registered at more then one event, they will appear for each event. So you will continue to have multiple teams show up multiple times as they register for more events, and as the 28th of October comes up when second regional registration opens, this database will more or less just be cluttered.

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

yeh, unfortunatly we havn't been able to contact them...
we are actually based in cambridge, which is about 40 miles from london (about an hour by train or car) so it would be nice to tlak to them or to mentor or help them in any way we could

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

we aren’t signed up yet but we will be we are making some final organization with the team because about 90% of the team this year are freshmen but we will be signed up don’t know for which comps though but we are trying to go to 2 regionals and nats "that’s if we have the money for all that"

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

Early on, teams got their numbers for that year in the order they registered in. In 1999, teams were listed alphabeticaly by sponser and given a number. Those numbers have remained since, with new teams being added at the end as they registered. Teams that have droped out are not reused, but the name stays with the school, for the most part. FIRST will work with a team that is reforming at a former school if they want to reclaim their team number.

For example, team 73 has come back after a year or two of not competing, but they still have their old team number.

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

Grammar helps us to understand your posts. It was very difficult to figure out what you meant without sentences or commas.

The old RC could handle the team number but just had a three digit LCD. I don't think that more teams will mean that the RC will have to change more often. Someone else can tell you how many teams the current RC will support, but I believe that we will not be reaching that point for a long time.

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

I doubt we will be seeing a new controller because of team numbers because the current controller goes up to team 4095 (hopefully I did my math right).

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

sorry about that wetzel, i typed that message early yesterday morning and i retyped a reply just now but deleted =(. in any case you are right the OI's can handle more teams i checked with OI's prior to 2003 and they can handle greater team numbers all you really gotta do is solder a fourth digit lcd to the board. the only real difference between OI's is the programming ( at least thats what innov. first told me when i ordered a 2001 OI this yr. If i'm not mistaken to set team numbers it uses binary. and binary can go a long way. If any major change is done to the OI it will probably be its size. =) any way getting back to the topic at hand:

how many teams in 2005 : estimated 999 - 1250
by 2007: estimated 1400 - 1500

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

Looks like we've made it to 755 teams by Monday, Oct. 25.

Three more days til second event reg opens.

Re: How many teams in 2005?
 

Today's the day for second event registration (10/28/04). So far, there are 791 teams signed up. After today, it's going to get harder to count teams.

It looks like we might not break 1000 this year. We'll have to see what happens when the NASA grants and the FIRST $1000 team assistance grants are awarded.
