Ok, the way that I think FIRST should expand is not to the east or west but to the south. By this, I mean Latin and South America. There is already a Brazillian and further expansion in that direction is what is needed. First of all (bad pun), parts of Latin and South America are much closer than either Europe or Japan (noteably Mexico). It therefore would make it much easier for them to utilize the infastructure of FIRST. Also, Spanish happens to be much more widely known in the United States than European languages (excluding English) and Japanese. This makes the language barrier less of an issue. Also, increasing engineering in many of these countries will also help their economies, some of which are still developing. In general, while looking across oceans is sexy, I think the more practical place to look is south.
