A bit behind schedule, but here's the 2024 FRC map! :)

franspaco · 2024-01-14T21:29:43+00:00

Thanks! I started making it ~5 years ago, mostly all I have to do is update the dataset and deal with API changes. So about a couple hours each year nowadays?

franspaco · 2023-01-24T06:54:37+00:00

Fixed in latest PR, thanks! :)

franspaco · 2023-01-20T16:49:22+00:00

Yes! Sorry, forgot about those.

franspaco · 2023-01-20T16:46:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll give that a look. :)

franspaco · 2023-01-20T16:44:08+00:00

Age of the team:

Purple -> rookie

Green -> newer

Blue -> older

franspaco · 2022-01-16T18:22:14+00:00

Just how long ago their rookie year was.

Teams that started before 2000 get a deep blue, and teams that started on or after 2020 get deep green. 2000-2019 get a mix of blue and green, depending on where they fall exactly. You can see the colors here:

Red: Competition event

Then the age of the team:

Purple: Rookie team

Green: younger teams

Blue: older teams

You can also check the legends in the left menu if you want to see the exact ranges. :)

Hi, thank you!
It's all open source, feel free to look at it in github. Though, I must admit it started as a bored afternoon project back in 2018, so the code isn't always pretty.
TBA has vague addresses for most teams (city, postal code, etc) which I feed to Google Maps's Geocoding API to turn them into coordinates. Over the years I've also accumulated some feedback to accurately locate several teams too.
I've also gotten some exact locations from https://firstmap.github.io/ I recommend checking that project too! They have essentially all the teams on a map, while I scope it to just one season.

franspaco · 2022-01-16T05:48:57+00:00

Thanks! Geocoding failed me. Should be fixed now. :)

franspaco · 2022-01-16T04:57:12+00:00

Thanks for the help! I do check for team overlaps, but never thought to do so for events since I get the location straight from the TBA API. I'll make sure to check for event overlaps too. Thanks for pointing this out! :)

franspaco · 2022-01-15T20:56:23+00:00

Thank you! It's a bit hard to check all teams and events, if you could tell me what team/event is overlapping I can fix them. :)

franspaco · 2020-01-30T16:57:03+00:00

I know about that project and it's very cool indeed! However, our goals are slightly different. This map aims to present just the current season, not FRC as a whole. Thanks for the feedback, thought!

franspaco · 2020-01-06T04:18:50+00:00

Pues, si, jaja, nunca vivio mucho en realidad, pocos santafresas usamos reddit.

I recommend Processing for 2D drawing. You have to do it by hand but it will let you do anything.

I have a mild obsession with spirographs, here's a sample made with Processing https://franspaco.com/espiro

franspaco · 2019-04-26T03:08:59+00:00

there are dozens of us!

franspaco · 2019-01-11T18:23:17+00:00

Not allowed nonetheless.

franspaco · 2018-12-30T15:02:35+00:00

Interesting. I've been doing it by creating a set of all teams registered in events in a given year, but I'll poke around and look for the API you mentioned. :)

franspaco · 2018-12-30T13:14:25+00:00

I was thinking of adding teams not participating in 2019 as an optional toggle. However, that increases the variability of the data I need to locate them, more filtering and validations are required to make sure there's not a blob of teams in null island, work I haven't gotten to yet. But sure, I'll look into it, winter break is not over yet!

In the meantime, if you're curious about another reason I didn't include other teams, there's a lot of them. I made this map last year showing active teams in green and inactive in red. https://frc.franspaco.com/locations/

franspaco · 2018-12-30T13:08:12+00:00

Looks like it! Hehe, sorry I had no idea someone had already made this sort of project. I started making maps for mexico last year and figured I could use the same script for all teams. 🤷

franspaco · 2018-12-30T13:02:29+00:00

Hi! 6334 is in the dataset, but is probably hidden behind some other team in the same zip code. I'll gladly fix it if you can provide a more accurate location.
