Re: WOuld you like to come to europe?
Oh man, I'd love to go to a regional in Europe! I haven't looked into it very much, but I know that in the past, Virgin Airlines has offered flights to London for as little as $300 round trip. Granted, my brother will have a job in London come fall, so I wouldn't have to worry about staying somewhere, but bringing an entire team along would certainly be a tricky endeavor. Getting tools and equipment through American airport security is one thing, International security is a whole different ball of wax (at least from my experiences with it...).
Also, what about batteries? I know that we were lucky enough to have Ricky Q drive ours down to the Championships, but I would be very interested to know how you guys got yours to your regional(s). |

Re: WOuld you like to come to europe?
I think it would be an amazing thing to experience but the cost will be a huge problem. I am sure MOE could find some way to raise the money to go but paying to have our HUGE pits flowen over would be way to much. It would be a really cool thing to see though

Anyways, I'd love to go to Europe, but we don't have much support financially for travel type expenses. If we tell a company that we would like their sponsorship so we can buy some 80-20 for the frame, then they'll quickly sponsor us. But if we tell them we need $10000 to get 25 people to Europe and back, we'd be turned down immediately. |

Re: WOuld you like to come to europe?
I'm almost positive that if given the chance, members of my team (836) would be able to go. We have the funding, and I think that it's a great idea. Let us know if anything becomes official.

Given the chance and the money, I'd be there tomorrow and just stay until the regional comes around.
