Now being serious, I think this division isnt surprising at all. It reflects a lot of differences between the different regions of the county in all other matters. Add to this the fact that as FIRST originated in the North-East, most of the oldest teams are on the East coast. Older teams, imo, are more competitive. When you have been around since the start, there is more pressure to win. Just from my personal experience I can attest to this. As a freshmen, the experience in itself was satisfying. As a senior, with responsibilities to the whole team, I found myself really wanting to win. I think this is natural. As a team develops and establishes a system and routine, more attention is paid to the sport aspect.
Speaking as a member of an East Coast team I'd also like to say that a lot of cooperation goes on away from competition, that you might not have seen. I think in most cases we have struck a balance between the competitive spirit that drives us to improve and cooperation and friendship.
