While I would agree that usually someone on teams with numbers lower than 1000 would remember this stuff, we only have one mentor on the team who remembers Dewalts. Even though we have a relatively low number, most of our mentors have joined in the past few years and don't know as much about the way FIRST works now or used to work. It is important to look at how long they have been around, not how long the team has been around. That being said, I completely agree with everything else you said.
