New York FRC Teams and Major Cities

[Jonathan Norris]

Wow thats really awesome, I am going to Queen's University in Kingston Ontario next year which is on the border to New York. There aren't any local teams in Kingston that I know of, but a couple that I can see are very close across the border (229 is a lot closer then I ever knew).

Sara got me intrigued; I have been wanting to make up a map like this since last year. I have mapped the Connecticut FRC, FVC and FLL teams from last season at www.ctfirst.org/map.htm - some of the registration info for the teams was incorrect or incomplete so I have to try and get good info and include it in the address database.

The legend is arranged alphabetically by town, so if someone is looking to find out if there is a FIRST presence in their town they can do so. FRC teams = blue markers; FVC = red markers; FLL = yellow markers (I don't have info for any JFLL teams).

Per the author: be sure to include a \ before any single or double quotation marks. If you look at Avon's FRC team there is now a link to their website in the description. If you look at East Hartford's FVC team, there is a Contact person (points to me right now).

Very cool. I'd have thought that Rochester was in the top 10, but I suppose the five boroughs of NYC have half the spots covered...
[EDIT]Oh, zooming in I see that the rochester peg was just covered by the many teams there.
How about a plot of teams versus the 10 largest non-governmental employers in NY State...??[/EDIT]

Sara -

Very, very nice work. In particular, thank you for the quick description of how you built the interactive map, and the pointers to the tools you used. This will make it easy for others to follow your lead and develop similar resources. Well done!

Yes, agreed.

Inspired by your idea, and using the same services: I see your New York and raise you the rest of the world.

Now just to hunt down those inaccurate pins, and all the Israeli pins it plotted wrong.

Inspired by Kathie K, and of course Greg, who had to outdo me, I'm working on a NY FIRST map. Only about 400 FLL teams in the state to plot... XD
