Here's an update for you:
Team 64 has actually split into two teams - the two schools which made up 64 (Queen Creek and Highland) have each started their own teams for 2006. They have retired the 64 number and will each their own veteran team numbers going forward (based on team numbers from the years those schools started in FIRST). So while "64" will show up as having not come back, they have indeed returned - just as two teams instead of one.
The Fembots, Team 692 are in the process of completing their registration and looks as though they are coming back.
With the Fembots and a few others, it also looks as though CA will lead the nation in all girls FRC teams again this year. Looks like we will have at least 8 all girls teams, very possibly 9, and might even hit 10!
And some more great news, it looks like GRT 192 will also be coming back this year after their hiatus in 2005!!!
Along with a number of other returning teams registering over the next few days, California should surpass the 100 team mark for the 2nd consecutive year. With some luck, we hope to exceed 110 teams this year. Michigan and New York are also getting close to 100, so FIRST may have three states with over 100 FRC teams this year!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone,
Jason
