Yes and No
Lori,

Our main contact for #217 is an administrator for the County (Macomb Intermediate chool District), which oversees all the school systems in the County. 217 was founded and organized by the County. When 217 split, 2 of the school districts within the county now sponsor the 2 new teams (817 and 818). The 217 main contact decided it was not fair to give the number to one of the new teams and not the other, since 217 is prequalified for Nationals. The only gray area is that the original sponsor and all the original engineers and teachers are now part of 817. Personally, I don't think 817 should be a rookie team and should be treated as team 217. We have sent a petition to Bob Hammond at FIRST.

-Paul
