Millenium teams

[Andy Baker]

Rookies are starting to register, and I have heard of a few teams who already have numbers. So, it's true that FIRST is giving out 4 digit numbers.

That means there's gotta be a team 1000. Who are the lucky dogs with that number?

Also... I'm curious who is going to be 1045. It might be a neat thing for a veteran team with a low team number to help mentor a "millenium team"... or the team with the same number as the veteran team + 1000. For instance, 1045 could be the millenium team for team 45.

These two teams could keep in contact with each other and help could be given if a team would need it. Initially, the rookie team would be in need of assistance, but this relationship could grow over the years and both teams could benefit.

Hey, they could be kinda like robot-building "pen pals".

So... 1045... are you out there?

Hi Andy,

I have a rookie team this year from our new high school, Stoney Creek in Rochester Hills, MI.

We are team #1037!!! I like the idea of "millenium" teams. The odd number means we get to go to Nationals!! WooHoo!

Registration was really a nightmare today.
I hope you all get the regional you want.

I think the millennium idea is cool, but it will never affect me since this is my senior year and i am on team 365!

[Melissa Nute]

Hey,
Im from the Mission San Jose Robotics Team in Fremont, CA. We just registered for the Silicon Valley regional and were were given the team # 1045. So I guess that answers your question Andy B. It would be pretty cool to have a robot building "pen-pal"..

[Katie Reynolds]

Wow - that was quick! Less than a day

C'mon - there has to be 1093 out there

[Andy Baker]

Alright! 1045! Welcome to FIRST, Manav and the rest of Mission San Jose Robotics. I look forward to keeping in touch... this is gonna be cool.
