Re: High School Robotics in Japan?
Jason,
I had a chance with some other Hawaii teachers to visit a couple of Japan robotics schools last fall. One school we saw had a full CNC machine shop filled with a dream full of tools and equipment. It looked more like a college machine shop in a high school.
A few weeks later, team 2024 Waiakea participated in a microrobotics contest in which they came in first place.
Our school is very interested in participating in another super science fair next fall 2009 if we get accepted to share about FIRST Robotics.
We definitely want to mentor groups of Asian teams to participate in FRC also. 
From what I've been told, South Korea has a lot of wealthy schools that could definitely afford to participate in FIRST. I saw many pictures firsthand of these schools, and let me tell you, it was mightily impressive. These were specifically foreign schools that get lots of corporation sponsorship for obvious reasons. The corporate leaders overseas want the best educational facilities/programs for their kids.
