(Technokats - 45, X-Cats - 191, Gael Force - 126).
Maybe I'll start a thread about this.

My $.02: The numbers stabilized in '98. Apparently at the decision time there were 191 teams arranged alphabetically by sponsor. Xerox was the last team (191), WPI was the penultimate team (190). Sometime after, more teams joined and were put randomly after 191, also some teams dropped and were removed from the 1-191 sequence. By our records, team numbers were not particularly significant in '92 (you find no mention on any of the robots), in fact, the first WPI robot that had a number on it was in '97 (team 153--just ahead on Xerox at 154).
