It looks like two teams have signed up for 4 competitions teams 47 and 494. I wish I could be a part of such a team that gets so much action during the season.

I personally LOVED our rookie year! It's been my favorite year so far, but i hope this year will rival it!

There's only two people on our team left over from the rookie year.

If I remember correctly, bot 47 and 494 did 3 regionals and the championship during 2004, IRI, Kettering Kickoff, and Sweet Repeat V- Seven total competitions (that I remember- If there were more... ) Teams that decide to do many competitions always have the extra design challenge of endurance. Our robot did 2 regionals, chanpionships, IRI, KK, and SR-V.- you should see the amount of patchwork aluminum braces and latex bands that are strewn about the robot to keep it in shape.
And to keep with the topic of this thread, Michigan is in the lead with 93 teams, just barely ahead of New York's 89 (homestate pride!). We now rely on those last-minute turnouts that can bring us to over 1000 teams; if that doesn't happen this year it is almost a guarantee for next year.

Darn. Michigan lost . Congrats to Cali for leading the way in the growth of FIRST teams. So who else wants to go to Nebraska to help them out?
