What does your team number mean to you?

Most people in FRC understand what the team numbers are for but for a lot of people new to FIRST, it needs some explaining. Our media team made this fantastic video for explaining what 4522 means:

To us 4522 is so much more than a number. What cool things does your team do with your team number?

For Bovine Intervention of Linganore High School it means. You can put your bumbers on upside down. Still having a real number; not looking like a fool. Go 686. Thank You very much please. God Bless. Mentor Mac

Re: What does your team number mean to you?

In FRC the 1640 is the AM station for most of the PA turnpike traffic radio. Lots of "Listen to 1640" signs across the state.

I was pretty impressed that the entry of just 1640 in Google brought up the website in the first 6 links. Pretty cool that Google knows where 1640 ranks!

Re: What does your team number mean to you?

When I was in high school I weighed 144.4lbs during the build season one year. I also get excited at 2:44PM everyday.

Re: What does your team number mean to you?

My team meets from 6pm-9pm on weekdays. We have incorporated 839 into when we should start cleaning up. So at 8:39 one of the students goes into a central location and screams ITS ROSIE TIME! But 839 means more than that.

Or when it's 11:14, or 10:23, or that your weekday team meetings end around 8:57pm.

The first 4-H Club started in 1902 it was the "The Tomato Club" or the "Corn Growing Club".

Re: What does your team number mean to you?

Let's see...

We like to yell out "135" during calculus class when it is that time
We pointed out that teleop this year is 1:35 long
And also (1+3+5) * (1*3*5) = 135

Those are just a few for us.

I think you mean 135 seconds long.
