Since FIRST isn't just about having a good robot, why should we argue about what the best state is just on robot performance. If you look, who has the best engineering schol in the country? Indiana (Purdue). Who has the best regional in the country? Indiana (Boilermaker, I know I'll get people who say it isn't but I must admit it was pretty good). Who has the best off season event? Indiana (IRI). And who has the team with every award possible 4 times over? Indiana (Team 71). So I think its obvious when you look accross the board which state is the best. Oh yeah, Andy Baker and Bill Beaty, Indiana residents. AndyMark.biz, Indiana business. Oh well, I live in Indiana so I have a bias toward it, but I do know it is one of the more competive states in FIRST. But one thing is for sure, I think you'll all agree, the Midwest is the best region of the country by far.
