A second team from Turkey registered today.
Team
3390 is from Ankara.
The missing Israeli teams dropped to 8.
Over the next week I expect the total count will rise above 1800, then fall back below it again continuing to retract over the next month or two as FIRST works with teams to get them on-board. It'll probably end up somewhere around 1780 teams for a net gain of a little more than 100 over last year.
Over the weekend FIRST added about 5 new team 0's, before the staff came back from the US Thanksgiving holiday and fixed those.
I count 4 Michigan teams that are also attending regionals out-of-state- 49, 217, 288, 815.
P.S. 4 more new Michigan teams have joined us.
