Another caveat is this appears it might be all teams that ever existed / registered that TBA knows about.

Ah yes, forgot to mention that, yes, it is simply every team with a location from this list http://www.thebluealliance.com/teams

Great idea to pursue.

I just did a quick check on my little island state and noticed the following....

Some of the teams listed are no longer participating in FIRST. Understandable.

As well there are a few that were not listed and sadly we were one of them.

I did check and we are listed on The Blue Alliance. http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/3880/history
:(

We are not that new of a team, 4 years and running strong..

Let alone the other missing team, 1378, from our island that has been in FIRST since 2004...

Good luck with this, I will keep checking in on it from time to time. It is a great way of showing the students how big FIRST has become and how much it can still grow..
Aloha!

Another idea that might be a little fun as you are playing around with it... would be to identify what the breakpoints are on team numbers for each year (or use an alternate method). Then make an animated GIF that shows the distribution of teams by year and how FIRST has spread to new areas and increased in density in existing areas.

Just playing off a previous comment :)

how come there aren't any teams in Antarctica?

Just took a look at Google Fusion Tables, and it's api seems perfect for scouting apps. You could overlay data on a field map.

Are there any teams that already use this for this function?

Your team and 3881 are listed as being from the same city I am guessing your dots just overlap

Yet another note, if your location on TBA is identical to another team it seems to be random if it is your team or the other is shown when clicking the dot. I know for my team if you click it sometimes it's us, sometimes it's another team.

What percent ambiguity did you get when Fusion did batch Geocoding of teams?

It was hovering around 3% I think, I didn't watch it the entire time, it took forever. I am guessing percent ambiguity is locations it can't figure out?

Yes, percent ambiguity is the quantity of locations that it was unsure about and has a high chance of showing an incorrect location.

Processing all the locations does take a while, if you have access to the lat./long. coordinates, it will process match faster as it doesn't have to cross reference each cell.
