Wow, Im surprised no one has mentioned
these teams, or
these guys. Or maybe
them Or any of the Israeli
teams
Or basically anyone who competes from outside the continental United States. If you guys think flying is a pain now try flying across international borders with the equipment to repair a robot. How about fundraising? These guys have to raise more money than most of us have to in a couple years if they want to compete at multiple regionals. Don't forget, Kickoff is at 10 AM on the East Coast, that is 4 AM for our Hawaiian friends. These teams are all class acts, not because they build good robots (and many of them do) but because they make it to competition year after year.
