Brazil had a remote kick-off.

The event was organized, all issues concerning the transfer of the kit was very hard due to customs burocracy. I myself saw all this process, it was very dificult.

Due to all organization of the event, and due to all previous work before january 10th (in fact serveral weeks) of our FIRST Regional Director, Ivan Jorge Boesing, we received our kits in january 13rd.

I´d like to thank Ivan for all efforts, in other case, the kits would have arrived much latter, maybe after january 21st.

In 2002, team 383 received the kit 10 days later the kick off event...
