"118" wasn't a recycled number in the modern era. It was from 1997 when all team numbers were temporary. Nobody kept those pre-1998 numbers year-to-year. I treat those like the temporary number you hang on your chest for running the marathon.
I'm staying away from using any of those pre-1998 numbers or we'll never figure out who begat who.
FIRST actually logs team 143 as the team number for both 1997 and 1998. None of the temporary numbers are preserved in the FIRST Team database.
I have the 1997 list of temporary team numbers, but I don't think I have the list used in 1996. Does anyone else?

All three teams remain close. The splits were mainly due logistics and getting more students from each small school district involved. |
