Re: Strikes me kind of uneasy...
Not only are there Israeli teams, Canadian teams, British teams, and Brazilian teams involved in FRC, there are also the 20+ countries represented in FLL. We have Canadian World Champions this year and have had Canadian and Brazilian Regional Chairman's Award Winners.
I for one believe that FIRST should be moving toward being a more multi-national organization. Yes, this event is in the US. This was represented by the fact that we were only able to hear the US National Anthem (a decision a fully support because it would have taken forever to hear all the other countries') However I do think that speeches at World Championships shouldn't be so Nationalistic. Yes, I know that he is the Secretary of Commerce, but I doubt I would have enjoyed hearing so much of it if I were a visitor to another country.
