I sorted the 168 total grants by state:
CA 27, WI 11, MI 9, LA 9, IL 9, NJ 8, VA 7, TX 7, OR 7, NV 7, MD 5, GA 5, FL 5, OK 4, MS 4, MN 4, IN 4, CT 4, CO 4, WA 3, SC 3, OH 3, NY 3, MO 3, MA 3, HI 2, TN 1, PR 1, PA 1, NH 1, NE 1, NC 1, KS 1, AK 1
My initial reaction was curiosity as to why California teams got such a large proportion (16%) of these grants. Then it came to me: only two other states have around 100 FRC teams (MI, NY) and neither of those other states added a new regional for 2007.

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.
