Fun Fact: While rummaging through old promotional materials tonight, we came across a little plastic thing you held up to your eye and inside was a picture of Team 1's robot. I'm not sure quite when it dated from, but it was pretty nifty.

I got a question for all the FIRST Teams from back in the day: Does anyone still have a Juggernaut yo-yo?

Being Team #1, we were National Champions in the 1999 Championship.

Our team used to be like team 26 in 1996, when our number wasn't all that permanent. Then we picked out #7, which was left over from when the Oaktownz (sp?) team left FIRST. FIRST just gave it to us because we requested it. We officially became 007 in 1997. =] So this is indeed our 10th year.

When FIRST first started, team numbers were assigned as teams joined (join first, you get number 1) our team joined 10th or 12th. When the numbers were reassigned to be permanent, we were given team 319. So it is not always possible to tell team experience by number (our team, for example, being the tenth team all time to join FIRST but ending up with the number 319.

So Team 1 had a sponsor with either a number, or "a" as the first letter, and thus received #1.

I am Coach on the Juggernauts team. He is a little history of the Team. The reason we have #1 is because of our original sponsor (3Dimensional Services). We are now sponsored by DaimlerChrysler. We have been involved in FIRST since 1997.

The Juggernauts have been in FIRST since 1996!

That was when I was a freshman in high school and drove the robot.

The original team was 3-D Services and Brandon High School. We weren't the Juggernauts yet though.

Another interesting bit of trivia.....my older brother actually named the team a year later in 1997 while working there as a laser cutter operator. "Juggernaut" was his code name while he was in the military.

I also am the proud owner of one of those. I haven't seen Juggernaut compete since I was last at Nationals (back in 02). It's definitely from either 99 or 00, since that was the last time I had any time to collect stuff at Nationals/The Championship.
