The customs requirements for the robot, while entailing an extra piece or two of paperwork, are not particularly onerous, especially with the assistance that GMC is providing this year (shipping contacts will agree, I think, with a big Thank-You to Raylene).
If you can catch GTR in one of the years when there are two playing fields, then it really is an event not to be missed.... with the Pontiac and Chevrolet fields both rolling along there is no pause for re-setting the field... just continuous robot action.... and it's not bad in the one field years, either!
We've been to Portland three times now... it's not that complex. C'mon up!

I'd love to. I'm definitely going to try and get my team to consider GTR for next year- I might try to use you as help in me and Zara's quest.
