I'm not sure who the first few teams to do this were, it would be cool to find out. For example, we've been 501c3 since 1997.

Anyone know? Guess?

Our team is 501c3 under the wings of M.A.Y.H.E.M. (http://www.mayheminc.org/) covering FLL teams Mindstorms MAYHEM, More MAYHEM (now inactive), and FRC team 1519 Mechanical MAYHEM.

I too am interested in who is the first FIRST team to be 501c3 earlier than 1997. 365 was a rookie in 2000 so they can't be one.

I will agree with previous mentions by Ken Streeter and iCurtis. New England has a ton of innovative teams each year who come up with neat ideas to complete a game challenge.

I'll also throw out 217, 229, and 148 (and team IFI in general) for reinventing and popularizing how sheet metal is used in FRC.
