Williane,

Thanks for this message. The Brazilian teams are facing some hard challenges, but it's not something new. Things never go as planned, time wise. It isn't supposed to be fair. Life isn't fair, as Dean always says.

We're trying to help the rookie teams as much as possible; today, we had team #2247 over at the school to discuss strategy and, most importantly, introduce them to parts from previous year's kits, as most of it never changes.

Our biggest problem right now is not having the game pieces, so our manipulator designs are all on hold waiting for the kit to arrive. We've tried buying them from Logoloc but they still can't ship them internationally, so we're waiting for them as well.

Thanks for this initiative, and be sure that we at 383 are doing the best we can to help the other Brazilian teams right now.

BTW, how do you know all the details about this situation, and who in your team speaks Portuguese?
Maybe we can get our students in contact with him/her.

Best regards,
