Here you go... This is directly from FIRST's team database:

102 Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics & Somerville High School, Somerville, NJ USA
- http://shsfirst.virtualave.net/
Nickname: "The Dexterous Gearheads"

126 Nypro, Inc. & Clinton High School, Clinton, MA USA
- http://www.nypro.com/
(Click on "company info", then "FIRST" button)
Nickname: "Gael Force"

131 View Communications & Central High School, Manchester, NH USA
- http://chaos131.tripod.com
Nickname: "C.H.A.O.S."
Slogan: "We're in the zone"

Neither are registered for this year's contest.

Team 232's last entry was in 2001:
232 Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers/ William G. Gillmore Foundation/ Gasser Foundation & Vintage HS, Napa, CA USA
- http://www.nrc.nvusd.k12.ca.us/

Team 255's last entry was in 2002:
255 NASA ARC & East Side Union High School District, San Jose, CA USA
- http://www.esuhsd.org/

Here's MY trick to find ANY team in this year's contest... Simply use this FIRST database inquiry link I created:
- http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/FMPro...-max=all&-find
To find previous year's contestants, edit the "year=" entry. For 2001 and before, drop the "&status=signed%20up" term.

It may not be pretty, and returns duplicate entries if they're signed up for more than one regional that year, but it works! I'm still trying to figure out how to directly access a team's "nickname" from the FIRST database instead of having to visit the team's webpage. I know it's in there somewhere, because they're printed in the Yearbook. I just haven't found the database inquiry term for it yet.

I hope this helps!
