GREAT IDEA!!!
Although I'm from the States, I love the idea of a Canadian mini. My team went to the Canadian Regional last year and it cost about $800 just to get our robot through Customs(each way!). That didn't even include the regular shipping costs. Anyway, I'm sure that any team would have the same problem for mini-regionals.

$250 (PARC fee) + $1600 (Customs) = $1850 Then add on your hotel costs... (WAY TOO MUCH FOR A MINI!!!)

So, eventhough my team wouldn't be there, I think it would be great to see a Canadian MINI.
