When FIRST gave teams permanent numbers in 1998 they were assigned in alphabetical order using the team's sponsor's name.

So Team 1 had a sponsor with either a number, or "a" as the first letter, and thus received #1.

The Juggies sponsor until only a few years ago was 3-Dimensional Services. 3DS does rapid prototyping, which resulted in some VERY nice designs for the Juggernauts. Unfortunately, they stopped sponsoring the team during the recent recession :(.

Incedently, if you look at the teams from 1-200, you can see a general progression of Alphabetical Sponsors. All of the General Motors teams are grouped in the 60's, the Delphi teams are in the 40's, and the Xerox X-Cats are number 191. In 1999, the teams started being numbered first-come, first serve.

Hence the clump of UTC-sponsored teams in the 170s.

Until the revival of some of the older team numbers this year mainly for teams that "split" in half or reform.

Also note the NASA teams in the 110-120s.

Did I hear the story right that someone's typo made 121 get wedged in with the NASA teams? (121 is the Rhode Warriors, sponsored by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, and 122 is the NASA Knights, sponsored by...well, guess.)

Muahahahaha

Im a Juggernaut! 2005 Team Captain.

We are based out of Pontiac, Michigan. Students on this team attend a Technical School, Oakland Schools Technical Campus, NE.

The reason we are team #1 is, we had a sponsor, 3D Services, and in 1998 when they redrew the numbers, they started in numeric-alpha order, and 3D happened to be first!

WHO'S HOT! JUGGERNAUTS! WHO'S HOT! JUGGERNAUTS!

We saw them in Cleveland.... that's all I got....

As far as the numbering bit goes. When the numbers were permanently assigned, team 166 was sponsored by Texas Instruments, I believe.
