Someone linked earlier to the thread on
teams-per-capita.
Using today's data, I've updated the list compiled for the earlier thread in which teams are sorted by TPMR (teams per million residents). I agree that teams per high school is probably a better measure; however, data on number of high schools is harder to get, and team affiliations with multiple schools change somewhat from year to year.
US average is now 4.1 TPMR, and every US state now has at least one FRC team.
There are 1315 FRC teams registered as of today, a 16% increase over last year's total 1133 teams that participated in FRC events. Actual figures for 2007 may differ slightly since fee payment deadlines are still pending. For overall growth in number of FRC teams refer to the
2006 FIRST Annual Report.
