Re: Who is team #1?
 

If ever you want info about a team based on its number, you can access its FIRST profile by using the URL http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/index.lasso?page=teaminfo&team=<number>
for example, team #1's URL is http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/index...eaminfo&team=1

and to head off further team number questions:
yes, there is a team 69 (from MA)
team 420 is from TX
there is no 666 (they decided to skip that number)
1024 are the Kil-A-Bytes and event hosts for IRI (1024 = 2^10, and 1024 bytes = 1 KB, and all of us robot folks ought to know that ;) )
cool trivia

Re: Who is team #1?
 

I am Coach on the Juggernauts team. He is a little history of the Team. The reason we have #1 is because of our original sponsor (3Dimensional Services). We are now sponsored by DaimlerChrysler. We have been involved in FIRST since 1997.

Re: Who is team #1?
 

Definitely really cool. Have you guys had any success or any celebrity time being #1? :D

Re: Who is team #1?
 

Yup! The Juggernauts won Championships back in 1999.

Re: Who is team #1?
 

I remember that!! Our drive team captain picked the allience at championships. He want the Juggernauts because they were already #1!!

Re: Who is team #1?
 

Actually, I think the Teams in 1999 season went to 292 or something, hence the Grandville RoboDawgs are number 288 since at the time they were sponsored by X-Rite.

The Juggernauts were amazing in 1999 and have done well several other times over the years.

Re: Who is team #1?
 

It is a great thing having team #1. In the back of your mind each year you go in trying to prove it but with all the talent in the FIRST world now it makes it extremely difficult. But the on thing about being #1 is the number of great teams that come to your pit just to see who has #1 as a team number, and for those that want to it's the JUGGERNAUTS!!

Re: Who is team #1?
 

Just looking back at some of the old videos Dean mentions that Paul Allaire (past CEO of Xerox) was the first person to sign up to the program back in 1991. So if they never went alphabetical we may have been #1. Oh well they never foresaw how big this would get back then.

A peice of 648 trivia...


Our old number... formed in 1999 was 309. It is also our area code. Heh...

Re: Who is team #1?
 

it really doesn't matter what number you have. team 1 is from pontiac mi. our team number used to be 32 then we were changed to 47 so hey i don't care what number my team is. but it does get annoying sometimes when you see the number47 about 15-20 times a day. the other night my cousin which is a cadet onour team was prank called 47 times in 1 day

Re: Who is team #1?
 

That would be an easy Prank for us to pull off =P, good luck Juggernauts I hope to watch in Ypsilanti.

Re: Who is team #1?
 

juggernauts remind me of astronauts and space which makes me think of cosmonauts, russians, NASA, Kevin Watson, and the code he writes, which reminds me of programming, my team, me posting here, and my unusually large obsession for anime and manga, which makes me think of my avatar...basically, in my mind, all is connected-they are related.
