FIRST as an organization is not one to openly present situations which could cause harm.

I agree with Keith here: FIRST is not an orginization to take chances, and they wouldn't risk a team not being allowed to compete, for whatever reason, if they had 666 as their team number. Even if the school allowed it, I'd imagine they might have trouble getting funding, not to mention being laughed at. Just because some people (including me) do not believe it signifies anything doesn't mean no one does. People have their own beliefs, and they're entitled to them.
