2014 to 2015 brought in another 6 (to 192).
2015 to 2016 was actually 16 (we are currently at 208).
We have also hit the point at which we have a team at most schools that can support an FRC team (and some that really can't). Many of the schools looking at FRC would be much better off with an FTC team. These are schools with around 100 students total in rural areas without many local companies to leverage for money and mentors.

I was basing the 19 off of the number of rookie teams, not taking into account any teams that stopped competing at the end of last year.
Still, MN FIRST is growing fast.
