Re: New Zealand Regional
1676 discussed this as a team, and again by the mentors, and we decided that attending the 2009 NZ regional is well within the realm of possible. I agree, cost is a huge factor, but we have about a year for fundraising.
We also very much enjoyed speaking with many of the NZ folks, they were full of good questions.
I think that having a few experienced teams there - no, not trolling for an easy RCA - would really be a benefit for all the rookies. Team 1676 has been recognized more than once as a team that reaches out and gives to other teams at regionals, and we all think that giving to the NZ teams would be twice as much fun.
