Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

I had noticed that too when I looked at the page, but that was the big news at the Philly Regional last year. Many members from team 1874 traveled from Ghana to get their first taste of FIRST, and will hopefully be attending the Philly regional this year. Also as a side note, I know that team 433 is currently gathering spare parts for team 1874, so if you have anything to help out the Ghanaians, try to contact the Firebirds and see what you can do.

554 from Ft. Thomas, Kentucky has registered for the Midwest Regional, so as of today all 50 US states are represented.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

It is interesting to see how quickly the number of competing teams is going up compared to the number of regionals. As more and more teams are started in areas that are already dense, it feels like the regionals are filling up much more rapidly than they have in the past. At the current rate of growth, we are going to need more regionals (or superregionals) each year. It's pretty exciting.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

Ditto. They're already up to 2116 (which is attending the Wisconsin Regional). What's gonna become really interesting is that teams sponsored by rival SERVICE academies are competing at Jerseys. You have 165 (Navy) against 2114 (Coast Guard), which will be pretty interesting to watch.

But where do you think the superregionals will be?

I'm putting bets in at Chesapeake, even though I'm predicting this super-region will be at College Park or in DC. (If not at Comcast Center, probably the old Cole Field House which is big enough to have two or even three or four fields.) The other one (on the east coast) will be in Toronto; as that is already a super-regional.

Maybe there'll be one in Hartford sometime soon, but I'm not sure.

Either way, superregional registration should be just like the regional registration except they come in weeks where usually the smallest regional occur.

Any bets?

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

I know for a fact that one of the teams registered for the San Diego regional is at least 2130, but I don't know of any other team beyond that. So a 2000 and a 2007 team is almost a definite.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

i BELIVE... that it is the first year UTAH has a team as well... 1906 being the lowest #... i dont remerber any 1900 teams last year... *but yet again it was so long ago*

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

Last year in 2006 the team numbers when to about 1970.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

The highest assigned number as per FIRST's website is 2117 and it does not show a 2130 registered for San Diego. Where does your information come from?

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

Utah had team 1505 from Roy, Utah in 2005, but they didn't return in 2006.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

I believe that the first rookie number this year is 1981.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

Nope: it's 1980 from Aberdeen, MD, except they are not playing like rookies based on their Battle on the Delaware results.

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

1505 from 2005 was reborn as 1906 in 2006 with Weber HS, and Roy HS (“WeBeRoybotics”). So it looks like they've spun off for a second team. Go UTAH!

Re: Team 2000? Is this the year?
 

Team numbers up to 2149 as of this afternoon.

Will they reach 2222 this year? "Four Deuces" would make a great team name. :)
