Re: Breaking News!
That team #7 (not to be confused with today's 007) was a strange aberration.
It competed long before any numbers, much less permanent numbers, were used, so the team never played under the number 7. They were only around a couple of years (1993 & 1994). AT&T was the sponsor, but AT&T teamed with different high schools each of those two years.
The number 7 was apparently tacked on four years after they last played when FIRST needed a number to refer to them as Chairman's winners in the modern age of permanent team numbers. FIRST never entered them in their team database as number 7 though, and our current team #7 was already using the number 7! I think someone at FIRST just missed the fact that the number was already in use...
