i think that was 710 too, beatty scored that several times with several different partners, they had a great bot that year and we were lucky to be paired with them at nats(this was when i was on 365 not 862)

I don't think thatis right... FIRST started on the East Coast, and there were not that many teams the first year were there? In addition to that, I am almost 100% sure that 100 was the first West Coast team to join FIRST, and that was in 1995.

Actually, It has had two different meanings over the year cause of a shirt misprint (hmm...)
In 2001 the shirts said that the B stood for Bolder!! eh.. minor technicality!

Ok I got a question, What team number are "The Clockstoppers"?? I seriously don't know this one but want to so I can negotiate my way to getting a shirt from them!
The Clock on 237 wants a Clockstoppers shirt darn it!
