Team issues and difficulties?....(not just technical ones)

[KenWittlief]

was just wondering, what does it cost to fly from brazil to the US? $1000 per ticket?

there are almost a thousand teams this year - if each team donated $20 that would be enough to bring a whole international team here?

maybe FIRST should consider a fund to bring international teams here for regionals? in fact, I would say, if we are going to do that, let them attend the championship instead of making them goto a regional first.

something to consider.
