I heard that there were 800 teams this year. The team numbers are up in the thousands.
Note: many teams have dropped out over the year and they never gave rookies team the old numbers that aren't in use anymore.


Back in 1998 FIRST renumbered and grouped their teams by sponsors, alphabetically I believe

in 1998 Team 1 was sponsored by 3-Dimensional systems(?) (I think thats the name of that company)

21 is sponsored by Boeing I believe

Teams 44-49 (in 98 were all Delphi teams)
Now only 45 (Technokats), 47 (Chief Delphi) and 48 (Delphi E.L.I.T.E.) remain as Delphi teams.

64-68 are GM teams, Gila Monsters, Huskie Brigade, Willow Run HS (I think they are known as the Flyers this year), HOT team and Truck Town Thunder.

Team 69 is Gillette

and then 108 and 111 are Motorola Teams

Originally our team (45) was team 31 in 1997 and then became 45 in 1998. Kit Gerhart would be the right person to ask since he has been involved since 1996-ish
