Re: Quebec FIRST
One reason for this that I'm aware of is that there is a local robotics competition (called "CRC Robotics", or something like that) in Montreal that a large number of high schools and CEGEPs participate in. I know that a few high schools have looked into the possibility of joining FIRST, but with the nearest regionals being five to six hours away, and with the extremely high cost of starting a regional of their own, they decided to go with the much cheaper local alternative.
There used to be a second team in Québec (1129, IIRC) but they only stuck around for 2003.
