I think that Team
337 would take some issue with that since they existed for 8 years prior to 2614, not saying that 2614 isn't amazing but saying they are the reason FIRST is in their state is a little much

That's only what they could fit into their Chairman's video from last year/some info from the website.

I feel like the issue that will keep them out isn't something they really have control over, and it is that one of the questions that we were asked is how many FRC teams have we helped start in our state, logically the only answer that 2614 can say is 1, 3492; since they are the only team in the state younger then them. It sucks but until FRC sees a lot of growth in their state as a result of that, I feel that some of the teams going to the same champs as them (11, 503, 1241, 1511, 2056) have a leg up.
