Which region is the best?

In my opinion, without "talent-density" of Michigan the rest of the midwest is about the same as anywhere else with a handful of powerhouses.

As a Michigander I think that MI has a great top tier of teams but it tapers off very quickly. I believe that the density is to blame for that, 172 teams in a smallish state with a terrible economy means that resources are thin all around.

As for "best" region I have to ask for clarification of best. NE has the best defense around. The midwest has the scoring power houses. The West has some of the best machined robots out there. I'm not familiar enough with teams down south to say what they have. (Aside from Florida)

Also, who gets Canada?
