I've heard this as well, how true it is, i dunno...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there 16 DIP switches to set the team number? That would allow team numbers up to ~64000, if the circuitry could handle it.
Actually, I think the magic number is 12 DIP switches, but in either case, it's more than we'll need for a while...
