Re: Poll-what countries use Delphi?

I've closed the poll. At closing time, the poll had 119 responses. This is a small pool, and I wanted more responses to work with, but I'll just have to run with what I have.

The results bore out what I expected and others predicted:

--South America (about another dozen)
--China (Not sure offhand, but give-or-take 30 as a guess)

So that's 150 or so teams that aren't from North America. You might sneak it up to 200 by adding Hawaii.

That leaves about 3000 teams from North America.

The VAST MAJORITY of FRC teams (by a factor of a lot) are from North America. If CD is anything like representative of the rest of FRC, the results are going to be overwhelmingly skewed towards North America.
EricH's prediction was correct. Nearly 80% of the responses came from the United States, as can be seen in the attached pie graph.

Here's the full roundup:

United States: 79.8%
Canada: 5%
Israel: 5%
Australia: 4.2%
Turkey: 0.8%
Brazil: 1.7%
Netherlands: 2.5%
Taiwan: 0.8%

Per usual, I am supplying a link to the spreadsheet with the complete set of responses, just in case anyone wants to do any additional number crunching.
