Someone might correct me on this, but I've never heard of 151 being considered an original and sustaining team. There are a number of NH teams, including 319, that were invited to "pilot" some games pre-season earlier in FIRST history, and were ineligible to compete in the challenge that year. As such they lost the "sustaining" aspect of the grandfather clause (debatable, but it's how FIRST considers it). I believe that 151 is also one of those teams.

Other teams which competed in 1992 but are not considered sustained include 111 Wildstang and 97 The Cow
