I think it will be interesting to see how this goes along without a pilot event. I understand that FIRST is stopping with the pilots as a result of the large financial risk, even though it will be much more challenging to start international full-scale regionals.
I heard that 3 North American teams will be going, with 27 rookies from NZ being there. I heard a few #'s dropped, I won't confirm until they do.

They've already tried to get my dad to go and myself, so lets see how this goes...
