Re: FIRST Team in Egypt?
according to [ http://www.usfirst.org/whatsgoingon.aspx ] there is nothing going on in Egypt at all. A bit of googling found that there is an FLL tournament in Alexandria [ http://www.bibalex.org/psc/ALEXPLora...s83X5A%3D% 3D ] but this would end two days before i arrive, and i won't be in Alexandria. I couldn't find anything in Cairo where i'll be during FRC kickoff.

Also, its great to hear that FIRST can bring together people of such different cultures with such a complicated history of conflict. Maybe the gracious professionalism in the teams could eventually spread to their countries politics. After all, FIRST is about a lot more than robots.
