I finally took time for a closer look at our new teams so far.
This is just from looking at the team list and the schools/locales.
Everyone knows about
:
51 - merger of 47 & 65
78 - from students & mentors of 121
Several other schools played before under other numbers.
- 3146: was part of a 1997 pre-number team (I call it A197) (13 years ago)
- 3135: was 1055 (6 years ago)
- 3148 is at a school that was once part of teams 125 & 246
- 3171 was 1019 (3 years ago)
- 3200 was once both teams 1190 & 1338 (last participated 6 years ago)
- 3165 was once both teams 452 & 1433 (6 years ago)
- 3235 was 2431 last season
Other musings:
- 3143 appears to be a sibling team of 1334 out of the same school
- 2167 has generated several sister teams: 2003, 2006, 2020
- 1754 appears to have just changed it's number from 1779
- 2741 looks like it has split into 2704 (now associated with a school, but still with their old sponsor), and 2949 (still independent)
- 3161 is a sibling team of 1334
- 3262 appears to have been 1008 last year, but joined with another high school this year
So new teams aren't always new to FRC, and missing veteran teams aren't always lost.
Anyone know some interesting tidbits about local teams?
