Team 47 - Chief Delphi from Pontiac Central High School and Team 65 - Huskie Brigade from Pontiac Northern High School have merged forces.

The School District of the City of Pontiac has downsized the School District closing Pontiac Central High School and re-naming Pontiac Northern to Pontiac High School. This action was a result of declining enrollment and financial concerns.

This new and powerful team garners the best from both teams into the new Team 51 "Wings of Fire". This merger was approved by FIRST and as a result both teams will carry forward their great histories of Hall of Fame and National Champions.

ChiefDelphi.com will remain unchanged in all respects of service to the community of FIRST thanks to the support of Innovation First, International.

According to page 4 of the 2010 FRC Team Separations/Combines Rules they cannot apply for rookie awards or rookie grants. Otherwise I would most certainly agree.

I believe that many of us knew this was coming, but I was really surprised by the new number and name!

[tdnader]

Outstanding!!!!
What a new power house 51 will be, the best of Pontiac is on it's way ... look out FRC ... Wings of Fire ... very fitting name for Pontiac.

Will 51 be at kettering or will that be 47's last showing?

Congratulations now team 51!!!!

[Rick TYler]

Congratulations on saving both programs. I have to admit, though, that my first thought was "Team Area 51: We Still Believe." Good luck to the new team!
