Re: All the FRC Teams That Ever Were
I just did a filter on *NASA* and got a count of 868 teams.
That's about a third of all FRC teams ever.
One of the advantages of using original team names.
Sponsor "owned" team numbers make it difficult to consistently track teams through the years, especially when primary sponsors themselves change names, e.g., NYNEX= Bell Atlantic.
Team 19 is an odd example of a team being associated with a sponsor not a school. In the FRC Team Database Team 19, Greenwich, CT, gets credit for a rookie year of 1994, although the school didn't actually have a team until 1998, and the sponsor, NYNEX, didn't have a team any closer than 70 miles.
Some schools do change names as well, but it's rare. Teams more often combine multiple schools or split off schools to form their own teams.
