This isn't exactly svg, but I had a USA map in swf. You can zoom into it with the web browser flash plug in (right click then click zoom in). You can view it at http://users.wpi.edu/~piotrm/first/maps/usa.swf. There are still a few teams missing as I couldn't find their locations and/or was confused by their location:

 25: North Brunswick, NJ, USA
 41: Warren, NJ, USA
 279: Ottawa Lake, MI, USA
 521: Waterford, CT, USA
 651: Mar Lin, PA, USA
 816: West Hampton, NJ, USA
 1138: West Hills, CA, USA
 1288: Saint Petersburg, MO, USA

Also, I colored the states so that those with a high number of teams per population ratio are green and those with a low team number per population ratio are red. The top five states are:

 1. New Hampshire ( about 15 teams per million people )
 2. North Dakota ( about 14 teams per million people )
 3. South Dakota ( about 13 teams per million people )
 4. Michigan ( about 9 teams per million people )
 5. Connecticut ( about 8 teams per million people )

note: The teams I couldn't place on the map still counted towards the team number per population ratio. The population figures I had were the 2003 ones from http://www.census.gov/statab/www/part6.html.

If you squint your eyes, and tilt your head sideways, the dots seem to form a vague outline of JVN...

Piotr you once again impress me and please me with your skills. Thank you for taking the time out and to work on the maps. Nice job.

[Alex Cormier]

which state has the most teams registered?

[Lisa Perez]

Looking at the FIRST program that was distributed, California does at 97, with Michigan pulling a close second at 90.


<sidenote> I'd like to see this, California vs. Michigan, number of teams registered in 2005. WHO WILL PREVAIL? </sidenote>

I couldn't find Mar Lin, PA either when I was doing the Pennsylvania map, but a little examination revealed it to actually be Marlin, PA - it's in the middle Schuylkill County (northeast of Harrisburg).

Very impressive work on the map - thanks for making it!
