I spoke to Lori a while back about the National Capacity. She said that even though there is no official limit, they were using 340 as the number they compared to. However, they may still have gone over that number by a little bit. But then again, every year more teams register than actually show up at nationals and even at some regionals.

A while back I also did a quick analysis of the numbers since the beginning of FIRST. I plotted a curve, and from that I predicted a round number of 480 total and 320 at nationals. I will be happy to be wrong if we go over those numbers. But to answer the question about growth rate, my guesses were base on the trend from the past years.

Getting excited yet?
