I think $6000 market value is not a totally unreasonable number for FedEx, FIRST, and 359 to work out between themselves, when FedEx donates millions in robot shipping annually, and FIRST and 359 are no strangers to shipping robot crates overseas.

But I'm a member of none of these parties, so I'll stop talking.

FedEx Hawaii has already provided support in the past to teams that go to and from Hawaii, to other events. Its the same support that has allowed the international teams to participate here in Hawaii, as I was told.
We were already informed by our Hawaii group that we would receive support on shipment if we participate in Australia.
Our main concern is the robot getting to the Sydney event on time from a week 1 regional in California.
