Q. Can I get my Vex team number the same as my FRC team number?
A. Yes, but not during the registration process. Just complete the registration process and you will be given the next available number (numbering started at 3000). After you have completed the registration, just send us an email, (Info@VexRobotics.com) requesting a team number change and reference both team numbers. After verification we will issue a team number change. You can only do this change if you already have a previous years FRC team number. Example: If your previous years FRC team number is 148, your vex team number can be 148.

Q. Can I get my Vex team number the same as my previous Vex team number?
A. No. You can get a team number in the 2000s though but not during the registration process. Just complete the registration process and you will be given the next available number (numbering started at 3000). After you have completed the registration, just send us an email, (Info@VexRobotics.com) requesting a team number change and reference both team numbers. After verification we will issue a team number change. You can only do this change if you already have a previous years Vex team number. Example: If your previous years Vex team number is 148, your Vex team number can be 2148. Your Vex team number can not be 148 because 148 is reserved for the FRC team 148. A team number in the 2000s will signify your team was a part of the initial FIRST Vex Challenge.
