I just checked our database and there are 216 team numbers (from 1 to 2681) that have never been assigned (from the era of permanent team numbers in 1998 onwards).
I recall that some of the unused numbers were reserved and used for database testing by FIRST. At least based on the fake entries found in them.

Sorry, I wasn't paying close enough attention...
Registration wasn't open for 2002 until after 9-11 and the tragedy.
New teams signing up probably didn't near the 911 mark until mid-November, a couple of months later.
In any case team #911 was never assigned.
