Cool. All of the events and awards match my memory. Thanks.

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

I think A14 is related to A46 and 148, as 148 is now recognized as an "original and sustaining team from 1992". More details here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...l+sust aining

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

I went by the schools in the case of A14 & A46.

I see what you mean.
A14 (Dallas Christian School) started in 1992 (thru 1995), but A46 (Greenville HS) joined in 1994
148 (Greenville HS) gets credit all the way back to 1992 through the E-Systems sponsor of both teams.

I see why FIRST was on again/off again with considering 148 an original and sustaining member, should it follow the school, the school district, the sponsors, the mentors, the students?

"You have Team 144 listed as "Cincinnati, OH; Procter & Gamble Company & Northwest High School Career Center"

In 1994, they were in Cincinnati, OH, with Walnut Hills HS. Later (not sure when, but not in 1995) they moved to Colerain Township, OH and Northwest High School."

Team 144 was actually the inspiration for 'The Littles'. We started as the result of a video confrence call from that team with the Mehoopany P&G plant. The rest is our history!

How about if we mark all the defunct teams by putting them in italics?
Or maybe just a separate list (worksheet)?

When I read this thread title, I want to add, "are Parking Cars and Pumping Gas" but I suspect the utes wouldn't understand me.

You won a $ :)

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

This is really Cool! I cant hink of anyother ones from off the top of my head but good job so far!:)

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

Yeah, these are not much different than the numbers between years that never got assigned, or this year when they skipped a whole bunch of even numbers at the beginning of registration.
That might be different. For example, I know Detroit Catholic Central (located in Novi MI) signed up this year and got assigned as Team 2731, but they never played. Perhaps they didn't get funding. You might keep those numbers around; if they come back next year, will FIRST keep them as the same number?

Looks like someone's done Dean's homework...

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

New version is posted.
I italicized the defunct teams. I'm not sure it adds anything. Too much mixing of regular font and italics, it all just sort of blends together.


Each year we get 20 or 30 teams who register, but fail to launch.
Offhand I'd guess that FIRST eventually just purges those unplayed numbers, however, the did maintain all that stuff for years and only began purging it from the public database in the last couple of seasons. BTW this seasons failure-to-launch teams are still there in the public FIRST database (e.g., 2731), but last years aren't (e.g., 2351, Mariner HS, Everett, WA). I don't know if FIRST maintains full data in their private database, but I suspect they must.
None of those teams who have been able to successfully start again later has ever gotten the original never-played number. They always get a new rookie number that matches the year they really do first play in.

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

The name listed for team 241 is dated by about 6 or 7 seasons

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

That's because I tried to use the name you were originally registered under.

Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
 

Wow, I just sorted by state and discovered a team for the first time from 1997 that I had never heard of before from my area!
