The Most Isolated FRC Team?
While reading the posts about the new, optional, district model I got to wondering which FRC team was the furthest distance not from a regional competition (I suspect the UK teams have a pretty good handle on this one) but which team is the furthest from their "nearest neighbour" FRC team.

Within North America, I'd be willing to bet that team 1482, in Calgary, a 533km drive to visit team 1696, in Simms, Montana would be in the running.

Worldwide, I'm guessing some of the Brazillian teams might be a bit isolated from their nearest neighbour, but don't know the geography that well.

So... how far would you have to drive (or fly) to get to the nearest FRC team? Here's a chance to claim the title for the "world's most isolated FRC team"! Is it 3011 in Germany? (a 738km drive to London?... but wait, 2037 is in the Netherlands... only about half that distance away) Or what about 3032 in Aracaju, Brazil? Maybe 2576, in Chile? Or 2905 in Turkey? 3105 in Manila?

(Er... actually, once I realized there was a team in Manila, the question of "Most isolated FRC team in the world" suddenly became a whole lot less challenging. But who is the most isolated in North America?)
