If FIRST really wants to expand internationally, there are a few issues they will have to address. One problem our team (Team 188, from Toronto, Canada) has is that it takes FOREVER to get anything from Small Parts. We often end up buying one part from SPI and having to buy the same part up here so we can keep building, which wastes quite a bit of money. Also, getting the robot through Customs is a bit of a challenge, although I guess FIRST can't really do much about that.
