Canada is not a state. It's a country.
If you are going by State for 1114 it's Ontario.

Ontario is actually a province, not a state. 1114 is still my nomination whether we break it down into provinces or not.

Well for Canada I would actually say 188, even though they have not won at Championships, their team practically started FIRST in Canada and they are a perrennial powerhouse wherever they go and even Championships

And I guess I have to throw in 1592 for Florida ;-)

Being from Massachusetts I have to go with 126. 88 may have been better this year, but in past years 126 has been better. They have more regional wins and more RCA's all time.

I'd like to mention 69 as well. They haven't been so big on a national stage because the typically don't attend the championships, but their robots have always been competitively dominant at a regional level. I still think their 2007 bot was in the top 5 for the whole country.

They are also the first FIRST championship winner.

The fact that many of these choices are based solely on statistics or arbitrary selections is an indication of how FRC is much more prominent in clusters of space, but not as represented in every state as some would wish in any way. Two states do not have a single team:Nebraska and South Dakota. There is, however, stiff competition between teams to gain this title in many regions, such as the mid-Atlantic, Michigan and California. Perhaps this is not the best way to evaluate FRC or maybe it is simply an eye-opener. It is also possible I missed many teams but this is the least likely option. I think this survey just shows us how effective the district system could be in some regions like MI, while so ineffective in others, like anywhere outside of FL, PA/NJ/NY and CA.

FRC by state:

Alabama-34
Alaska-1548
Arizona-842
Arkansas-16
California-254
Colorado-1332
Connecticut-236
Delaware-365
Florida-1902
Georgia-1771
Hawaii-359
Idaho-2122
Illinois-111
Indiana-71
Iowa-525
Kansas-1108
Kentucky-2856
Louisiana-1912
Maine-172
Maryland-768
Massachusetts-88
Michigan-67
Minnesota-1816
Mississippi-1421
Missouri-1806
Montana-473
Nebraska-N/a
Nevada-987
New Hampshire-40
New Jersey-25
New Mexico-2196
New York-375
North Carolina-587
North Dakota-876
Ohio-120
Oklahoma-932
Oregon-997
Pennsylvania-103
Rhode Island-121
South Carolina-343
South Dakota-N/a
Tennessee-547
Texas-148
Utah-2993
Vermont-885
Virginia-1086
Washington-488
West Virginia-337
Wisconsin-1714
Wyoming-1303
Brazil-1772
Canada-1114
Israel-1574

I'd have to agree with ya there.

I think 343 pretty much dominates SC, and 1771 shows no signs of slowing down in GA.

I will have to disagree with you on this one... 1577 is a good team, true, but they are by far not the best team in Israel. The most dominant nominees for this "title" are teams 1574 and team 1690. 1574 won every single regional in Israel since the start of FIRST Israel and until 2009 (when we beat them :D) and they even got once to SF in a division at Atlanta (at 2008 if i am not wrong). On the other hand, 1690 has only one regional win but each and each year they impress all of us with their national class robot, even though they lot of the times get unlucky with their alliance.

I wouldn't really say that's true. 60 was a force pre-2004. It's not like working with 254 made them famous. If anything our influence comes from them. There's a marked change in how we went about building our robots 2004 and later. We always made good robots before that but my impression from the outside (I wasn't on the team then) was that working with Glenn Thoroughman and the rest of 60 really changed the way everyone on the team approached the design process and lead to our current style of robots.

Funny you should say that. I actually originally put MisCar for Israel because I was with them in Newton in 2008, made some friends on the team and was in awe with the professionalism displayed through their robot, but when I looked for them on the FIRST website, I could not find them and I hadn't heard anything about them with this year's Israel regional. I was afraid they had disappeared or something to that regard, so I picked another team from Israel with which I was somewhat familiar. I am, honestly and happily, a member of the MisCar fan club. I'm glad to hear they're still alive and well.

I would like to have another nomination for the best Israeli team. And that is 2630 from Emek Hefer. I believe that in the past 2 years they had the most dominant overall performance in the regionals. Whether it was a great robot design or great communication with the other teams I believe that Emek Hefer currently is the torch bearer as the best Israeli team.
