Re: Registration 2012

The maps are nice Andrew.
I'll give you an update when registration hits a high.

The layering of multiple teams in the same city hides a quarter of the teams.
The heat map view is one way around this.

We could go look up 749 (as of the date of the plotted data) school addresses that are layered one atop the next.
We could save time by just updating the 512 team locations hidden underneath the top layer.
We could automatically add unique minor offsets to members of identical coordinate groups to shift them a tiny bit away from each other.

Here are the deepest layered places. (Also the cities with the most FRC teams if we don't aggregate the boroughs of NYC)
17 ----- Toronto, ON Canada
16 ----- Chicago, IL USA
16 ----- San Diego, CA USA
14 ----- San Antonio, TX USA
14 ----- Washington, DC USA
13 ----- San Jose, CA USA
12 ----- Detroit, MI USA
12 ----- Montreal, QC Canada
10 ----- Rochester, NY USA

On the downside, some kind of metric for teams lost would be good too.
I have these for you as they stand so far. I'll try to remember to post a list tomorrow when I take a break. Maybe a pie chart would make a nice visual.

I'm coasting today after our local off-season played yesterday.
