As is the problem with most generalizations, they aren't exactly true in all cases. While the West Coast has done a good job of fostering a family atmosphere, I know of some teams that are disliked by other teams on the West Coast. I also know of areas on the East Coast where teams manage to become very close and friendly; I think we do a good job of this in Rochester.

I think a lot of the difference in teams has to do with the distribution of money. There is a lot of resentment from some of the smaller teams (and usually the more rookie teams unfortunately) towards some of the "big money" teams. From my very non-scientific investigation, I'd believe most of the "big money" teams are from the East Coast or Mid-West and there aren't as many from the West Coast.

As a correction, OCCRA is run in the Mid-West (Michigan) not the West Coast) as I believe the original post pointed out. And as far as NASA sponsorship in the North East goes, it is available. The North East (basically, north of Virginia and east of Ohio non-inclusive) is the responsibility of NASA Goddard.
