Positive growth reached again
Looking at the 2003 FIRST Event List, I see that there are 645 teams registered. Last year, the total number of competing teams was 641.

This means that the number of FIRST teams are increasing, as they have consistently over the years. Who knows if the growth rate will be 30-40% as it was in the past, but exceeding last year's total within 3 weeks of registraion is a pretty good feat.

Kudos to all of the new teams who are registering, the teams who are recruiting them, and the veteran teams who are sticking with it. Most importantly, congrats to FIRST for continuing to provide an awesome program which shows consistent growth and improvement from year to year.

Andy B.
