I was playing with the TBA data and a tool I found called Google Fusion Tables and created a map of all the FRC teams. Once I started looking at individual points I am not sure all the teams are "real" as some don't have any match data on TBA, so take the data with a grain of salt. Here is a link to the interactive version, click on a point to display team name, number and city http://goo.gl/FOofbd

Another caveat is this appears it might be all teams that ever existed / registered that TBA knows about.

Re: pic: FRC Teams Map
Great idea to pursue.
I just did a quick check on my little island state and noticed the following....
Some of the teams listed are no longer participating in FIRST. Understandable.
As well there are a few that were not listed and sadly we were one of them.
I did check and we are listed on The Blue Alliance. http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/3880/history
We are not that new of a team, 4 years and running strong..
Let alone the other missing team, 1378, from our island that has been in FIRST since 2004...
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..
Aloha!

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.
Just playing off a previous comment

Just took a look at Google Fusion Tables, and it's api seems perfect for scouting apps. You could overlay data on a field map.
Are there any teams that already use this for this function?

What percent ambiguity did you get when Fusion did batch Geocoding of teams?

Processing all the locations does take a while, if you have access to the lat./long. coordinates, it will process match faster as it doesn't have to cross reference each cell.

Re: pic: FRC Teams Map
If you want them, actual team lat/lon's are in here: http://www.team358.org/files/frc_rec...Teams_Ever.xls
These coords are based on the primary school or sponsor locations and avoid the overlapping team problem as well as geocoding errors.
One tab is a list of all teams ever, while another tab are the teams for each season.
