Another idea that might be a little fun as you are playing around with it... would be to identify what the breakpoints are on team numbers for each year (or use an alternate method). Then make an animated GIF that shows the distribution of teams by year and how FIRST has spread to new areas and increased in density in existing areas.

Good luck with this, I will keep checking in on it from time to time. It is a great way of showing the students how big FIRST has become and how much it can still grow..
