FiM has begun clearing the District waitlists.
  • Kettering, Traverse City, West Michigan, Detroit, & Livonia are full now.
  • Troy & Northville have 4 openings between them
  • Niles is still only half full
  • Waterford has 10 unassigned slots
12 Regional events have each had a few minor team changes in the past 24 hours.

In all, a net of 45 teams have added in (teams have dropped out too).

It is wierd how they extended the date for regionals to December 19th to allow more teams to apply.

Now that registration is done...

EWCP has published a new team distribution map. It is available on our blog at http://ewcp.org/blog/2012/01/03/FRC-...distributions/

The distribution does give a nice sense of which areas might have the team density to support a district like system.



I'm not sure if team densities will ever approach FIM and MAR levels in the midwest. The population isn't as dense. On the flip side, the midwestern culture is used to driving longer distances to do things. Perhaps we can support the district system over a much broader geographical area.

I would agree that this map clearly shows that with FiM and MAR, New England would be the next area targeted for districts.

Nice region grouping graphic.

The team coordinates in the most recent All FRC Teams Ever have been refined.
About a third now reflect the actual school location and the only duplicate coordinates are of teams hosted at the same school.
It's not perfect, as some teams don't give enough information to pinpoint their location any closer than a town, and mistakes may have been made, but it's better than it was.

The coordinates that have been examined and are fairly accurate are marked.
If anyone wants to volunteer corrections, they will be cheerfully accepted.

This is a good point about population densities. I recall seeing population density somewhere. I'll see if I can dig that up and overlay the map with it sometime this week.

Minor point of clarification:
MAR=NJ, eastern part of PA, and DE

National Capital Region: MD, DC, VA

For now.

This is the first I have heard about the National Capital Region. New for 2013?

That's just the name of the region, it's not an actual district system like FiM or MAR (as of now).

Been around for at least 3-4 years. http://www.mdfirst.org/about-us/firs...al-region.html

The region shares major sponsorship for events.

Well, yeah, here in MAR we sure have a lock on people who are dense. :p
