If you go to the Australia Regional listing here, click the link, then click ‘Site Info’, you will find this document with updated details regarding logistics. If you are from outside of the country and thinking about traveling to this exciting new event, please read carefully!

We’re looking forward to a great first event registration day tomorrow! We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of jelly babies, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it!

The jist of the document is that teams outside Australia that are going to attend the Australia Regional most likely won't be able to attend any other events from Week 1 - Week 5 (except maybe Hawaii).

Updated September 24, 2014

We are pleased to announce the new 2015 FRC Australia Regional! This is a great new opportunity and we are excited about this event.

As this is the first official FRC event in Australia, there are new opportunities and challenges, particularly for robot transportation from some areas. For planning purposes from our experience, robot
transportation transit time is between 7 to 11 calendar days not including additional time needed for international customs clearance and inspection. For teams investing in taking their team to Sydney we
really want to make sure your robot arrives in time for event participation. Therefore FRC teams outside of Australia will need to ship their robot crates prior to Week 1. Teams also will not be able to attend a
Week 2 or Week 4 event. Teams will also need to allow additional time for the robot crate to return after the event therefore we do not suggest teams plan to attend a Week 5 event except for teams
participating at the Hawaii Regional. It could be possible for a team to attend a Week 6 event.
