That's Asia? I've always considered Isreal closer to Africa than Asia.

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

oh.
you learn something new everyday.

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

very true, yesterday I learned that those cigarette lighters that plug into the car heat up very very fast.
my thumb is extra crispy :)

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

And where do I find it in the new TIMS system? It's either buried really deep somewhere or I'm just blind. :ahh:

Also, awesome to hear about this new team from Australia! In a few years we'll have a Hemispheres competition in Equator or some Pole :D
And seems Cyber Blue and Chris Fultz will have a hard time trying to find American partners for all those new teams. What a huge leap for the FIP's! ;)

Oh no!!!
 

Team 1681 is no longer registered for Buckeye and Team 1639 from France is no longer registered at Chicago.
What happened? :confused:

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

First off, welcome to FIRST australia! Secondly, i think they are just trying to trump the British and Brazilian teams for furthest distance traveled for a high school field trip.

Good luck in Ohio

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

Welcome to all the international rookie teams from Australia, Israel, France, England, Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador! (sorry if I missed anyone) And of course welcome to all the new Canadian and American teams, too! Hoping that we'll have all 50 states covered soon and further expansion outside North America in the near future.

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

i don't mean to rain on ya'lls parade, but as Koko Ed pointed out a few posts before you, 1681 (from aus.) and 1639 (from france) are no longer registered for any regionals.

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

WHAT!! :ahh: Man that isn't cool. Hope they still plan on entering a regional.

Re: Oh no!!!
 

there was a french team too?

Re: Oh no!!!
 

yep.
They were going to be at Chicago.

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

On the topic of why the Brazilians arn't atteneding the Boilermake regional seeing as how Nelson (461 Alumni) essentially founded them, I'm guessing it has a lot to deal with the lack of an international airport in West Lafayette. It would be really cool to see him and his team come, but I think logisticly it would be to diffiuclt in comparison to Ohio or Chicago...

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

looks like becoming a world event, with more continents
us europeans, them australasians and you americans (i'm counting both north and south america) yay
go first

oh and there was a french team , they contacted us, but where too late registering,
and the german team from a coupla years ago never got anywhere as far as i can tell

Re: New Team From Australia!!!
 

hmmm... That's too bad that they were late... They should just show up in NH and the Maryland Regional because that's where we are... hehehe... It would be awesome talking to a team from another country... God knows we had so much fun talking to 1156 (from Brazil)... We learned a lot from them...
