Michigan Teams at CMP

After alliances were selected in Galileo, I was discussing with a few others how impressive it was that 7 of the 8 Michigan teams in our division were moving on to the elimination rounds. We thought that this accomplishment showed just how strong the Michigan FRC teams really are. I began to wonder how teams coming from FiM fared overall...

Out of the 36 MI teams that competed at CMP, 23 moved on to the elimination rounds, 8 of which were alliance captains. It's unfortunate that only 1 Michigan team moved on to Einstein, but accounting for nearly 1/4 of the teams in elims is pretty good in my book

The next highest density of teams in the elimination rounds came from California. There were 42 Californian teams at CMP, but only 10 moved on to the elims with 2 being alliance captains.

Next time Dave Verbrugge tells you that Michigan is the toughest place to compete, believe him.
