If you go look at this thread
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=annual+report

or the FIRST annual report and you do the math, FIRST's growth seems to have stabilized at about 130 new teams per year. We are on a linear growth right now, not an exponential growth.

As such, five years from now, there will be about 900+5*130 = 1550 teams.
