Team distances to regionals
We were trying to figure out how far-away teams were located to come to the Finger Lakes Regional as well as coming to the RaChaCha Ruckus off-season event....now, I could just look up every team's approximate city address on the FIRST web site and use Mapquest to find the distance, BUT...
I found this really cool geocoder ( www.batchgeocode.com) that will calcutate the distance in miles between two addresses. Ok, so it will only give you the "crows flight" straight-line distance, which is somewhat unfair distance for our friends in Canada, but it does give a rough estimation of travel distances for teams.
Check it out to learn more about geocoding.
