Not really the first team, but when FIRST decided to stop shuffling numbers every year, they got #1.

Please search though, this question is asked like twice a week it seems.

They're the Juggernauts, %@$!*. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Here's the information on them from FIRST's site. They're going to Detroit, St. Louis, and the Championship.

But the current team numbering system was established around 1998, and they're not really one of the first FIRST teams from 1992.

So, who was assigned #1 in1992?

They are right next door to us, so we see it every day.
But the juggernauts are a good team and represent the number well

Numbers were not assigned in 1992. The current number system started back in 1998 when all the teams had their permanent numbers that we all know today assigned.

[SL8]

So there were no temporary numbers for that year, or were teams known only by their name.

As far as I know teams were know by their high school and/or sponsor in 1992. I'm pretty sure I'm right but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe it went by sponsor name (alphabetically)

We used to be team 8 for our rookie year because we were sponsored by BASF originally.

[Mike Martus]

Starting back in 1998 teams were allowed to keep their numbers. Prior to 1997 teams got new numbers each year.

So in 1997 Team 47 was team 46. In 1996 we were team 32.

I like 47 better!

From the looks of the old pictures there were no team numbers in 1992.
And in the years following that teams were assigned numbers every year by alphabetical order (I think it was by sponsor name. That's why while while we may be an original FIRST team we have a rather large number because Xerox starts with an X).

I think we have a robot with a 47 on it.
I have to admit I like 191 better.

I saw a list once and it was by sponsor name, alphabetically, with 3M being the first sponsor--for the current team #1, Juggernaut.

330 was originally 82, but a sponsor switched names or something like that and they got a new number. I like 330 better.

[Ty Tremblay]

319 is an original 1992 team. (according to my mentor, we were the 6th team to register)

Looking at the '92 competition bracket there were definitely no team numbers.
