It’s been 5 years since this thread was posted. Since then, 24 Iowa teams have been started, only one of them folded, more grants have cropped up for teams, and FRC is a regular visitor to events such as the Iowa State Fair, the Des Moines Maker Faire, and even at the State Capitol’s STEM Day. The scrimmage event run by 525 has gone from not even being able to put a full match’s worth of robots on the field to needing its own match schedule. The state has come a long way, although it still needs work to become a competitive region.
Without further ado, here are the rankings for Iowa in 2018, again, just for fun:
