[N7UJJ]

We have been working with a team in Mexico.
The BIGGEST problem we have had to deal with is shipping. Their crate of parts gets held up for weeks in customs. I think this year, FIRST is going to work with Microchip's shipping department and maybe this year they will get their parts on time.

If a foriegn team wants to buy appor\\roved parts, shipping is again a problem. In Mexico, they had a real hard time getting PVC parts to build tetras! Many parts that we use are English measurement, not metric which are far more common in the rest of the world.

We do a lot of our communications via email.
