TS is definitely looking to expand. There are actually two withing half an hour of my house. I don't know the exact details of where you live, but there could be a TS within driving distance in the foreseeable future. The founder has said he wants TSs in Uganda, even, so SoCal isn't a ton of a stretch.

Check a map
We're in central California, 200ish miles from San Jose, 200ish miles from LA. There is so local manufacturing industry, but the total population is pretty small here. I think Uganda will probably get their techshop before us!
The College has shops for students, but they aren't that great and access to them is limited.
It's funny, norcal people seem to assume we're socal, and socal people assume we're norcal.
FIRST is not about building robots, it is about building people; the robots are just a good way to get the people there. - JamesBrown [more]
