Chris,

Just to let you know, the link posted as the description for FIRST Internationl Partners (http://cyberblue234.com/fips.htm) is broken; is there a new webpage somewhere else?

I'll get on my kids to get that page up. Must be missing from the new website. Thanks, Katie.

Its a great project, we started with 233 last year and have carried on an international relationship with them.
Thanks Cyber Blue!

We are excited that the program has grown and there are more interested US based teams than we can find partners for.


Instead of putting a long post here, I will work with a few of our students and get a short white paper on the program - how we started, what we do, etc. and get it posted here and on Cyber Blue's web site.

First of all, I´d like to thank Mr. Fultz and Team 234 - Cyber Blue for creating and coordinatng all FIPS efforts.

Please, I need some help, at all possible, with lodging at Houston. I have quotes between U$60 and U$75 for a double room, taxes included. We have a small budget, so I´m searching for more options like YMCA and motels. I already contacted YMCA but I need someone who has contacts, or is able to call them and check if they are available.

As most of you know, I´ll be with the group at Houston, so if you need any help I´m at your disposal.

If you wish to stabilish phone contact please send the number to gbalbinot@terra.com.br . MSN: gbalbinot@terra.com.br , my phone number is 55 51 84033800 (55=country code, 51=region code)

Thank you.

Team 237 had a blast being paired with Team 1156 at the NJ Regional. We throughly enjoyed the time we spent with them. Yes, we took them to Hooters because that is a 237 tradition.
Team 1156 drove 3 hours to visit our school in Watertown on Sunday. It was a great visit. Thanks to Chris and Team 234 for starting this.

It was great to see our partners from team 383 in Chicago. And were they awesome or what!

Great making it to the finals, and the Autodesk on top of that.

Hope you are either haveing a great time visiting the USA, or are having a safe trip back home.

Chris,

It was great seeing you, once again! Too bad you didn't bring the whole team, maybe next year!
I consider our partnership this year another great success, and I hope it keeps getting better and our teams get more related as time comes. We should've have arranged a night out with both teams last year, we wanted to do it this year but didn't attend the same regionals as you guys. Hopefully we 'll be able to do something next year.
I ask every American team with an International Partner (especially the ones with Brazilian partners) to take a look at that and consider attending this great event that will be held next month. Unfortunately, and we realize that, it's a bit late, but since we all already have a stronger bond with those teams because of the FIP's, we hope we can work something out and have at least one American partner in our hometown! It would be really awesome for American teams to meet their International Partners in Brazil... We always have to go to you guys, now what's that for a change? Ha?
