How do you say your team number?

[Chris is me]

2791: "Twenty-seven ninety-one", or rarely "Two seven nine one".

General convention I've seen in FRC is to take each set of two digits and read them as individual numbers, much like years. Three digit numbers are the same way but with the last two digits paired. Edge cases are generally things like "3003", which seem to alternate between "thirty-oh three" and "three thousand three".

Did AAA sponser a team?

Bet it was probably BAE...who has been one of our sponsers for a while...but then we should have moved back up again the next year.

You can see the list of teams in 1998 here.

That is interesting because the names are not really in alphabetical order.
Note the location of: Black & Decker & Parkville High School as Team 7 in NJ

It's not in alphabetical order within NJ or within the competition as a whole.

The only thing I remember was Bill walking over and telling the team to change the robot number in the pit. I never had a lot of time to think about it.

Thanks for the link from there I got this from 1997:

Now that list of teams from 1997 looks to be in proper alphabetical order however it's not because the team numbers are not sequential. Nice to see it does reflect the original team number of Team 11 (Team 8). Imagine we kept moving the team numbers around every year ?!

It is interesting to me that in 1996 there are no numbers listed:

"Fifteen-forty"

Though at a demo it said (on the freaking sign) "Team 1450."

I was perhaps unnecessarily mad, so I took a Sharpie to it. The revised poster hangs in our lab.

We can put some spin on this if you like:
11...//...=...\\...11...//...=...\\...11

That's a lot of C++ comments. Also, hello team 3 (Binary)



Ours is either:
Pa-ra-dise
Eleven-Sixty-five!

Team 0 in Stibitz code cause we don't like to be negative.

This is actually a joke wrapped in a joke see the section 'Computer Art' below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stibitz

[Team3266Spencer]

"Thirty-Two, Sixty-Six"

although the joke (3*2)66 has been made XD

[Craig Roys]

Count to 18 starting with 17. (integers only)

[cgmv123]

"Thirteen-Oh-Six"

[Calvin Hartley]

My teams, who are both 4-digit, non-zero-in-the-tens-place teams both usually pronounce it with the split into pairs.

Twenty-seven seventy-one
Forty-nine sixty-seven

[Kyle A]

Three Oh Six
and sometimes but not often
Three Zero Six

[BrendanB]

Thirty-four, sixty-seven.

Or depending if we are at an event with Code Orange its thirty-four, seventy-six.

EDIT: Nathan Streeter's list above is similar to how I'll say other teams. O's instead of 0s is pretty common if the 0 is the second to last number.
