If anybody can comment on the accuracy of this, please do.

The mentor who I talked to had an older son on 2000 and a younger son on 2054. It seems like what's left of 2000 will probably end up on 2054.

Crossed the 2700 team milestone this morning.

Looks like Michigan added Waterford as a 14th District event March 28-29. No teams are registered yet. Neither Waterford nor the new Midland district have been added to the FiM site yet. Midland also isn't showing up in a search on the usfirst.org site, and on FRC links only shows up when searching for "all areas" rather than just Michigan. Midland does however have 30 teams registered.

Midland's name also has been changed to: Great Lakes Bay Region FIRST Robotics District Competition

Not to be competitive or anything, but according to this list California has 237 teams and Michigan has 284 teams out of a total of 2718. This suggests that Michigan has more teams than California, who has (roughly) 4 times as many people as Michigan does. It also means that Michigan has over 10% of FRC teams.

Does anyone know anything about unregistered teams? How many are there? Where can I find this information?

If they have and 8-digit number, they (I believe) are in the interim prior to registering for an event.

Not to be competitive or anything, but Minnesota should have a little over 200 teams this year, despite the fact that Michigan's population is roughly double that of Minnesota's.

Hub City is becoming quite an international regional. Now with 4 teams from Australia, 5 from China, and 1 from Turkey, all we are missing is some from Canada and Mexico.

Houston Lone Star Regional also has 3 teams from China,

Its neat to see growth internationally, hopefully these teams can grow quickly and form a chinese and an Australia regional next year

Hahaha, okay, you win in that respect. Maybe. It would be intiresting to see what the numbers look like for team density in different areas.

I am pretty sure Mark has that data.

Several years ago, I took a whack at listing US states ranked by number of FRC teams per million residents.

Does anyone know which regionals have open spots left ?

Hub City (4 spaces) and Mexico City (15 spaces) look to be the only ones left. Everything else looks to be wait listed.

If this is true that is crazy I have never heard of only two regionals not being at capacity. (Though after December 5th it will be interesting how that changes)

Technically, a bunch more aren't at capacity, but those are just the hidden future waitlist spots/rookie spots.
