The FEDS are most definitely still around. I was a college mentor for 201 this past season, and we competed at Great Lakes and West Michigan Regionals, and in the Archimedes Division at the Championship.
To more thoroughly answer the question about 201 and 1037, there are RHS students on both teams, so the Rochester High School name is included in both teams. 201 was the original RHS team, started in 1998. One of the founders of that team went to the International Academy the following year (during which time she started and ran the above mentioned team 349). After 4 years there, she returned to Rochester High School, and decided to start another team in the district, 1037, at Stoney Creek High School for the 2003 season. Being an RHS faculty member, she included a few students from her classes. So, for the 2004 season, they officially acknowledged the RHS students in the team name.
So, you could say that Rochester High School has two teams, although one is a joint venture with another high school, and one is the established RHS team that's been around since '98. It's definitely an interesting situation.
