Re: pic: Spread of US FIRST Teams
This gives a nice visual of the growth in FIRST in the U.S. - does that include all four programs, or just FRC? The background layer of percentage of engineers in the workforce was surprising to see. Some states which I thought would include more engineers were lighter, while others whom I didn't expect to have as many engineers were darker in color. Nice job!

Re: pic: Spread of US FIRST Teams
Its nice to have an updated team list, I still have been using the one from 2004
This one shows the team numbers instead of dots, is that possible to do with your program by chance? If not, this is still really cool. Wow. Check out the explosion of rookie teams in Kasnsas City. Regionals really have an impact on the amount of teams in the surrounding area. |
Re: pic: Spread of US FIRST Teams
Looks great. I would like to see a world map with FRC, FLL, and FVC.;) ;)

Re: pic: Spread of US FIRST Teams
This is a very cool map...
Could you determine the "mean geographic center" of the FIRST teams? I'm talking about something like the Wikipedia: mean center of US population. In 1992, the center of FIRST teams would have been in the northeast (since the majority of the teams were from MA, NH, NY, NJ). Because of the strong growth of FIRST across the country (especially on the west coast), I suspect the geographic center now would be some around Indiana or Illinois. It might be interesting to see the "westward migration" of FIRST. (BTW: I was in high school near the place where the population center crossed the Mississippi in the early '70s). I've since migrated west as well (1978). |

That's nice! I've been putting one together just for Michigan, and this will give me some ideas on exactly how to do it! Thanks!

Re: pic: Spread of US FIRST Teams
That is a crazy awesome map. Really shows the effect that having a Regional in the area can have, just look at all those team clusters!
I can't see a few states in the NorthEast :eek: |
