[Dorienne]

This is so cool! I'm excited now, though I don't even know this team nor are they coming anywhere close to Maryland. But welcome, Team 1681! =)

That's Asia? I've always considered Isreal closer to Africa than Asia.

First off, welcome to FIRST australia! Secondly, i think they are just trying to trump the British and Brazilian teams for furthest distance traveled for a high school field trip.

Good luck in Ohio

Welcome to all the international rookie teams from Australia, Israel, France, England, Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador! (sorry if I missed anyone) And of course welcome to all the new Canadian and American teams, too! Hoping that we'll have all 50 states covered soon and further expansion outside North America in the near future.

i don't mean to rain on ya'lls parade, but as Koko Ed pointed out a few posts before you, 1681 (from aus.) and 1639 (from france) are no longer registered for any regionals.
