Both answers are correct, since FIRST skipped numbers 2288-2329 between the 2007 and 2008 rookies.

Do you know why they did that?

I presume to leave space for spin-off teams, who should get numbers in the same range as the original team's rookie year. Why they need so many, I'm not sure.

Sometimes, a team splits for whatever reason. The team that doesn't keep their number (or any teams that don't) and doesn't want to get a rookie's number will get an available or unassigned number from previous years.

What are some reasons as to why teams split? I know team 375 split and formed team 522 because the school split or something.

I know from my mentor that RV and our school robotics team split because of the arugement over should the students build. and so was born Team 816. Or something along those lines

What is RV? How could you have an argument over that?

Depends on the team; 340 and 424 (Rochester, NY) are the result of 340 having too many team members and splitting off 424; 64 disappeared suddenly (result: 39 and one or two other teams)...

But many splits result from disputes within the team, unfortunately.

Where did the V come from? What was the argument like though and what were the two sides?
