Re: Predicting team startup growth
First off, I wonder if FIRST has done this type of analysis.
Second, thanks, this is really cool information. One question, instead of using the raw population might there be a benefit to using the population between 5 and 18, the people FIRST targets?
These numbers look like
California 9.365M population
145 teams = 15.48 FRC teams / M
145 teams / 2079 schools = 0.07 FRC teams / school
Michigan 2.39M population
132 teams = 45.5 FRC teams / M
132 teams / 752 schools = 0.18 FRC teams / school
Georgia 2.549M population
28 teams = 10.9 FRC teams / M
28 teams / 356 schools = 0.08 FRC teams / school
The population data was pulled from wolframalpha. I am assuming it is based on census records but haven't really looked into it.
Again, thanks for bringing this up.
