144,and

Would help if you knew the names of those teams

for the 1st several years, teams got new numbers every year.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

I know but im searching and i can't find it anywhere! :ahh:

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Do not confuse 7 with the current team 7. Current Team007-Parkville Robotics in Baltimore MD received a recycled number. I think the old team 7 was from NH or MA but I can't find my notes.
There has been some confusion over the years. I got an interesting phone call 3 years ago from FIRST, inviting the team to the kickoff for some ceremony. I had to say "We'd love to, but I don't think you really want us." :)

The mentors who were on 144 (Who?) are now on team 1038.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Man I completly forgot that team numbers switched!! :eek: Oh man.. um im going to have to look this up again then... shoot... :(

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

I thought all the past chairmans award winners are listed on the FIRST website somewhere. They must give more than just the original team numbers.

Where is the link to the Chairmans award hall of fame?

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Ok this is all the information i could find...
In 1993 team 7 was AT&T Bell Labs & Science High School (Im not sure what state..)
In 1996 team 144 was Procter & Gamble & Walnut Hills High School (Not sure what state)
In 1998 team 23 was Boston Edison & Plymouth North High School (again not sure what state.) I've heard before that 23 is now in battle bots if someone could confirm that for me that would help.

Im searching now and if I find anything else I'll update the post.

That is what I'm searching but on older teams it only gives team number and school....

the link is <http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/res_art11.htm>

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

I don't know much FIRST history, but I do know geography. I'm guessing Team 7 was in New Jersey, Team 144 was in Ohio, and Team 23 was in Massachusetts.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Not to criticize but I'm just wondering just how sure about this are you?
We just want to have completly accurate facts in our paper.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

you could try googling the high school names (most HS have websites) and the companies, and see what citys/towns match up for both.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Wow im slow i had not thought of that but I should have that by monday (if I cant do it here at home tomorrow night)... want to do it at school that way i can save the info on a disk we got there for the newspaper. Im thinking sometime around 10:30am Detroit MI time.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Bell Labs' headquarters is in New Jersey, and there is a Science High School in Newark.

P&G's HQ is in Ohio, and there is a Walnut Hills High in Cincinnati. The team nickname was "Pulp Friction."

Boston Edison, obviously, is in Massachusetts and Plymouth North High School is in Plymouth, Mass.

Google is your friend.

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Oh ok thanks a lot.... I forgot about google...lol

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

OK I checked and i concluded that Rick was correct
team 7 in 1993 was from Newark, New Jersey
team 144 in 1996 was from Cincinnati, Ohio
team 23 in 1998 was from Plymouth, Massachusetts

Google's Awesome :D

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Now that we know where the teams are from does anyone else have any other information that might help me a bit more? :confused:

Re: Former Chairman's Award Winner
 

Sorry, no, but have you picked up a phone and called the high schools in question? You might be surprised at how helpful they will be. Good luck.
