Pretty close...that's the list for team 118 the LITTLES. 143 didn't have Troy Area HS. It's very interesting to hear the histories of team numbers!

Mark for official FIRST historian!
You are amazing. Make sure this gets sent to HQ.
There used to be another Team 7 (they won CA in the early years) but don't know if they are now another team.

Team "7" - “The Labsters” - AT&T Bell Labs & Science High School, Newark, NJ

P.S.
I have to modify my answer a bit.
That team followed the sponsor, AT&T Bell Laboratories, around to a couple of different schools for only a couple of years ('93 & '94).

The closest team in the modern era of numbers would be Team 752.
Or as close as can be.

To be honest, this is probably the coolest thing that I have seen in a very long time.

The way I understand it is that team 250 had a relationship with team 20, but was never located in Clifton Park, NY, but it was rather located in Colonie from the beginning. I am not 100% sure on this, but I can check with team 20 and 250 and give a better understanding of that relationship later. I don't think any relationship exists between them today.

Team 162 should be removed and placed as a past team number for team 308.

Also, 162 is from Farmington Hills, MI - I don't think I've even heard of Berrien Springs, MI. Anyway, since 308 and 162 is the same team, it makes sense that they're both from Farmington Hills. The reason for the team number change is because TRW changed their sponsorship from Farmington Hills Harrison High School to Walled Lake Schools and back then FIRST required a new team number due to the school change.

Also, 139 should be a past team number from the 1997 season. Here is the chronology:

1997: 139
1998: 162
1999 - present: 308

This is all history. That location was where the team was first "incorporated" if you will. At least that's what FIRST recorded. Looking through the records I sometimes suspect the original sponsor, teacher or administrator entered their personal home town. That's the case for at least one early Long Island team.

I added your team chronology.
I'm not removing teams though. This is a list of all team numbers that ever existed with their original incorporation information.

Others:
I have a different spreadsheet that tracks town, school, sponsor changes year-by-year: http://www.team358.org/files/frc_rec...istrations.xls

Well then, that makes absolutely no sense as to why it was incorporated in Berrien Springs. Farmington Hills is a suburb of Detroit - about 170 miles from Berrien Springs.

As one of the founding mentors of 139/162/308, I don't even know of anyone on the team that had any association to that area. TRW back then was headquartered in Cleveland, the sponsoring division of TRW was in Farmington Hills, and the school was in Farmington Hills. The person that registered the team with FIRST was originally from Calumet, MI, which is probably 350 miles from Berrien Springs. I really have no idea how that could have been registered with FIRST that way.

Cool. All of the events and awards match my memory. Thanks.

I think A14 is related to A46 and 148, as 148 is now recognized as an "original and sustaining team from 1992". More details here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...l+sust aining

I went by the schools in the case of A14 & A46.

I see what you mean.
A14 (Dallas Christian School) started in 1992 (thru 1995), but A46 (Greenville HS) joined in 1994
148 (Greenville HS) gets credit all the way back to 1992 through the E-Systems sponsor of both teams.

I see why FIRST was on again/off again with considering 148 an original and sustaining member, should it follow the school, the school district, the sponsors, the mentors, the students?

"You have Team 144 listed as "Cincinnati, OH; Procter & Gamble Company & Northwest High School Career Center"

In 1994, they were in Cincinnati, OH, with Walnut Hills HS. Later (not sure when, but not in 1995) they moved to Colerain Township, OH and Northwest High School."

Team 144 was actually the inspiration for 'The Littles'. We started as the result of a video confrence call from that team with the Mehoopany P&G plant. The rest is our history!

How about if we mark all the defunct teams by putting them in italics?
Or maybe just a separate list (worksheet)?
