Mapping FIRST Teams

[Allison K]

Could you add a table for dormant or extinct teams? I think that could be interesting historical information to see mapped out.

Added. Good idea!

I found this old thread from 05 if you want to compare the maps....

You're planning to make a global map of FIRST teams, right? If so, when are we expecting to see it?

I plan on making it in stages. First I will make one for the teams attending the VCU Regional. Then I hope to make one for Israel, Brazil, and Canada (because they have fewer teams than the US). Hopefully by then many more teams would have been added and I can make a global map.

Thanks to everyone who has added teams!!

I challenge everyone else to add your team plus a couple teams in your area.

Fine by me.

Someone should make a kml file for google earth that uses this table to plot the location of all the teams

Does anyone know the location of team 1172? I have not been able to find their website, school name, or address. They competed in the VCU Regional. Thanks.

Hello...

1172 should be from Richmond. The First site lists teams from Va. (under "what teams are from this state "in the "whats going on in my area " link)and they are listed as from Richmond.

Has anyone build a KML network link to the FIRSTwiki table?

If not, I have a weekend project...

[basicxman]

where do you enter your team information?
can i enter FVC/FTC teams as well?

Information can be entered here, assuming that the project is still being worked on.

I'll work on a network link to the Chief Delphi wiki list. In the meantime, here's a Google Earth posting of all the Pacific Northwest teams:

I like the map idea.

May I suggest modelling after or gaining ideas from this map.

...although perhaps while implementing some way to update every season from FIRST's team pages. That way teams would be removed if they became inactive or disbanded.

I like the above link, because it has little icons. Some people wanted a vex map too. If you use some sort of icon system in yours, then you could differentiate between FRC and vex teams.
