Re: Most FIRST teams per capita
I was feeling geeky again during lunch, and decided to check on FRC registration totals. As of this morning, 98 teams from Michigan have registered for their first regional. New York is second with 86, and California is third with 85.

In keeping with the original topic of this thread, I went to the US Census site and got state-by-state population figures for 2005, then used these to calculate the number of teams per million residents. I only did the calculation for states with at least 18 FRC teams registered as of this morning; these states account for 759 teams, which is 81% of the teams registered.

And the rankings are:

1 NH has 26 registered teams, which is 20.3 teams per million residents.
2 MI has 98 registered teams, which is 10.0 teams per million residents.
3 CT has 28 registered teams, which is 8.4 teams per million residents.
4 KS has 20 registered teams, which is 7.2 teams per million residents.
5 VA has 50 registered teams, which is 6.8 teams per million residents.
6 MO has 38 registered teams, which is 6.6 teams per million residents.
7 MA has 38 registered teams, which is 6.0 teams per million residents.
8 NY has 86 registered teams, which is 4.7 teams per million residents.
9 CO has 20 registered teams, which is 4.5 teams per million residents.
10 NJ has 37 registered teams, which is 4.4 teams per million residents.
11 WI has 19 registered teams, which is 3.5 teams per million residents.
12 IN has 20 registered teams, which is 3.2 teams per million residents.
13 PA has 35 registered teams, which is 2.8 teams per million residents.
14 CA has 85 registered teams, which is 2.5 teams per million residents.
15 FL has 40 registered teams, which is 2.5 teams per million residents.
16 GA has 18 registered teams, which is 2.1 teams per million residents.
17 OH has 23 registered teams, which is 2.0 teams per million residents.
18 IL has 23 registered teams, which is 1.9 teams per million residents.
19 TX has 19 registered teams, which is 0.9 teams per million residents.

[Note: total registration as of twenty minutes ago is 942 teams, up from 937 this morning and 929 at 5pm CDT yesterday. So all the statistics in this post are going to be changing...]

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
