If FIRST is an interntional competition, then where is the rest of the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran? Where is Germany, France, Austria, Spain, Italy, and Denmark (invented LEGO)? Where is Russia, India, China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand? Why aren't they part of FIRST robotics?
This question came to mind after reading this thread on ChiefDelphi and going down to post #18.

You are right when you are talking for the FRC teams. Don't forget there is FLL teams too. I can be VERY wrong, I don't know where exactly teams are from for FLL, but I have talked to few teams at championship who traveled across the world to go to Atlanta and compete.

I know that team 433 (Firebirds) was working on getting a team started in Ghana, they also invited them over to watch the regional competition. It would be nice to have teams in each country.

FIRST started back in 1992 with 10 teams... after 14 years... we are in 2006 and we have over 1000 teams competing. I can only use my imagination to see what is going to happen to FIRST in 2020. Oh yea... Mini Arefin will sure be competing at the FIRST competitions. =)
