Andy is about right. I checked the rookie years of the low 200s on
FIRSTwiki, and team
204 had a rookie year of 1998, the last year they did the team number shuffle. The next team listed (read: team that competed in 2004) is
207, whose rookie year was 1999. To get it any closer would take some fun with the Wayback Machine, which I'm just not motivated enough to do right now.
