Best team #'s

[minic@HYPER69]

I was wondering wat everyone's picks for best team #'s are. I only ask this because we get alot of comments about our team # because of its "other meanings".

My picks are...
1 (Because they can always say YAY! Were #1!!!)
21(They are of age )
69(A little biased)
111(its a good #)
999 \
- - --l(hey Y not?)
1000/
and
1300(because my lucky # is 13 and there is no #13!)

I'm partial to 1108. But that's because I see it before I go to bed every night.

I also envy teams 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ,64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and will envy 2048. (some team don't actually exist but if they did I would envy them)

469 ...
I also like 666. and 1337.

Of course, the BEST number, by far is 42.
if you dont know why, I'm ashamed of you.

Was it skipped or did the team cease to exist?

I choose my team number as really cool because, in binary, it's a palidrome (same forward as backward).
1317 = 10100100101

And what's special about 42?

[mtaman02]

Some teams pick numbers b/c it either sounds good or relates to how many times they have done something

Like the previous posts

#1 - were number 1
#666 - well I don't know if there is a team I pray for those who encounter that one

#18 - Females Legal for everything (almost)
#21 - Males Legal for everything (almost)

#13 - I pray for those who encounter this one as well.

etc....

It's weird how a team can be created and given the option on what number they want. It's almost like throwing a bunch of numbers in that are not being used and the new team picking just 1 of those numbers and bingo thats your team. Or is it a secret account # with FIRST

My Acct# with FIRST would be 0000
not so long ago it was 05**

going with the whole math/science thing id have to say 314, 722 and 162 have the coolest numbers. but personaly, i like the #18 cause of all the symbology that goes with it. oh and can't forget good old 365. we're involved in FIRST 365 days per year.

Definitely 42, 256, and of course 114

They were the Baxter Beast I believe...I wish i still had that photo when all the baxter teams were 13(definitely out of it from my knowledge), 14(now 312: HW), 15(Coqui, but i don't know if they are still around), 16(BBS)...

A mentor was telling me that he found a giant spraypainted sign from Team 42 abandoned after a regional, so now its hanging in his office with a can of Campbell's Primordial Soup

I'm surprised FIRST never gave out #666, personally I'd love to have it. Any multiple of 18 or power of 2 would be pretty neat as well, but I think 42 would be the all time best team number.

Of course if you don't like your number you can always convert it to hex and see if that helps any.
