Re: How do you recognize teams?

I still recognize several teams by sponsor, especially if they are othe UTC division sponsored teams i.e:
173 = UTRC
174 = Carrier
175 = HS Space & Sea
176 = HS Air Systems
177 = Fuel Cells
178 = Otis
179 & 180 = Pratt West Palm Beach
181 = Pratt CT or simply "Pub" for their school Hartford Public
1124 = Fire & Security
999 = Sikorsky

Non UTC Examples
190 = WPI
229 = Clarkson
126 = Nypro

In general though it depends sometimes the team name sticks, sometimes it's the school, town or sponsor. In general I would say team number is most prevelant because it's good short hand.

I also find when refering to numbers with FRC people I will use team names to refer to numbers for clarity, i.e "I said Poofs, it's .004" over."
