Re: Most FIRST teams per capita

Ok, so who wants to be a real geek and compute the highest and lowest TOTAL DISTANCES DRIVEN to a regional event by the sum of all the teams that attended last year.

namely, which regional only attracted local teams and which regional was worthy of driving a long distance?

I started another thread
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=49494
that uses this really cool geocoding to calculate straight line distances between two GPS data points.....not true driving distance, but approximate.

These are all very interesting stats re: how to get MORE schools in rural areas involved, etc.
