New numbers were assigned every year based on where the team sponsor's name fell alphabetically relative to the rest of the teams in FIRST. I believe E-Systems was our main sponsor then and there still wasn't a ton of teams in FIRST at the time, thus the low number.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was the following year that they locked the numbers that were assigned to teams, again based on sponsor name.
I would find it hard to believe if there wasn't a thread you could find via search with more information about this topic.

Another team we had the pleasure of competing with on Galileo was team 870. For raw, uncompromising, unapologetic defense, it didn't get much better than them in our division. Too bad they were never picked for elims, they typically put on quite a show.
