If getting an identical gamepiece a couple of days late for you is higher on your list of priorities than us waiting a few weeks and spending a lot more money for the exact same thing, I think you might need to rethink your priorities.
Let's say FIRST adds this choice for domestic teams, too. Suddenly this very imbalance everyone is so sensitive about comes back.
In the US, you get your KOP on day one. In Western Australia, we get it about 3-4 days into the season (if we're lucky, in 2015 it took 1.5 weeks, that's 1/4 of the season).
Now you not only have everything you need to prototype, but an extra gamepiece as well,
3-4 DAYS MINIMUM before we do.
When you take all this into account, US teams getting 1 game piece 3-4 days minimum before international teams get 2 game pieces seems like a pretty good tradeoff.
