Setting the Team Number for the EXP Brain in VS Code

The VEX VS Code Extension enables us to set the team number for the VEX EXP Brain, making it easier to identify which team the Brain is associated with.

Note: While EXP Brains are not legal in a VEX Robotics Competition, assigning team numbers can help to further organize the classroom.
