The last team (so far) that dropped out was only in the past few weeks, so yes there was a peak in # teams a week or two after registration officially closed, then it gradually dropped off as teams fail to garner funding, administration support, leadership, or students.

I've seen this happen every year. Last year the final team to show up as registered was actually a week after kickoff, and another team dropped out after the robots were shipped.
