It is unfair, and I do think that the issue needs to be addressed, but I dont think that international teams should be given more time than everyone else. If, for example they were given 6 weeks from the date that they recieve their kit, they would have an unfair advantage over everyone else because they would have had the 6 weeks that everyone else had, but they'd also have had almost 2 weeks prior to that to design and plan their robot after seeing the kickoff.. that doesn't remove the disadvantage of international teams, it just shifts it around so that the USA teams are at a slight disadvantage. Instead, what if FIRST could mail the kits to the international teams in advance so that they would arrive a day or two before the kickoff, and seeing as Fed Ex has been so willing to help out with FIRST why not get them to hold the kits until the day of the kickoff and then release them. That way it makes it fair to all, doesnt it? Just an idea...maybe someone needs to bring this to FIRST's attention..
