FIP's IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!
Eight Team have agreed to participate in FIP's (FIRST International Partners) for the 2004 Season. We hope all of these teams continue into 2005 and that any new International Teams join as well.
Some of these teams already have get-togethers planned, and a few are already working together to arrange for parts deliveries and other needs.
If you are a part of one of these teams and need more details - please talk with your team mentors.
Thanks to all of the teams that have agreed to be a part of this new program!

These are all of the currently active International Teams that we are aware of. There are also three teams in Puerto Rico - We do not know if they have the same issues as the International Teams but this is an open invitation for them to participate.
Team 383 in Brazil has offered to coordinate new teams from Brazil that would like to join in a partnership with a US team. Brazil is expecting a significant growth in FIRST teams in the next few years.
