Go to Post I believe it is healthy to leave FIRST at some point and carry on with a well-rounded life (family, fun, school, & work). Focus your creative energy on developing your skills as a professional; then, come back to FIRST as a mentor later down the line. - Erin Rapacki [more]

Re: How do you say your team number?

The announcers are actually the only people I've heard pronounce team numbers as individual digits. I (and I think most others) pronounce team numbers by splitting the last two digits and the first two (or one). So 2056 becomes "twenty fifty-six", 254 becomes "two fifty-four", and 987 becomes "nine eighty-seven". That's how I've always heard it pronounced, it's also usually the fewest syllables.

Are team name is one of the few that is always pronounced "eight six five" because it's the fewest syllable.

Re: How do you say your team number?

We usually say "three sixteen," except for one of my teammates who has taken to saying "thirty-one six" just to be confusing.
