I'm posting this with the caveat that non continental US data is flat out wrong. It's probably useful for this discussion for most of you, I apologize to folks who it got wrong. I'm in the process of re geocoding the data in the next few days (I may have stuff I need to take care of tonight so I might not get to it) using Texas A&M's Geo Services. If that continues to be problematic I'll just find the teams that are being problems and do them manually (I'm not looking forward to this).

The GIS Major in me is drooling, but quivering at the same time. I've been wanting to utilize Arc to do something like this, but it's hard to keep up with this kind of data.
However, on a different note, all of this talk about travel time, district events near them, volunteer base, etc. has got me thinking.
All I want is an event of any kind in West Virginia! Our closest regional is 2 hours away, and the next closest is at least 4-6. We traveled six hours for Knoxville and 10 hours for Palmetto this year. Our off-season event in August is the first FRC event to EVER be held in WV, and we don't have the volunteer base that others do. I guess the moral of my story is be thankful for what you have, everybody.
