Not quite--343 (Metal In Motion) is from Seneca, South Carolina.

Though it's funny you put our digits that way--this year, we (2815, Los Pollos Locos from Columbia, SC) shared Archimedes with 2851 (Crevolution, from Sterling Heights, MI). Never has an alliance selection been more painful for us than hearing "Teams 2590 and 1218 would like to invite team twenty-eight-fif-tee....one".

(And note how Kara refers to the University of South Carolina as USC. We'll get the world straightened out someday! )
