I think posting a thread like that should be used as a last resort. The memberlist is searchable by team #, and you can find a few members from almost each team mentioned in this thread. After that, the FIRST website can be used to find the teams' websites, and contact information to follow. And then if after all of that you come up with no information, a 'hey team _______, contact us' type thread would be appropriate.

Just my opinion...
Brandon,
Many of the teams that we are looking for do not have web sites and are not registered here but that does not mean that they do not browse here and we need to contact those teams. In fact to qualify to travel our kids are required to scout other teams and ChiefDelphi was seen as a good resource.
