I agree! International initiatives are a nice secondary focus. We don't want this effort to distract us from our mission at home. What our Singapore effort does is actually enhance the strength of our team through partnership and exchange. However, I think the main focus of Team 341 (and hopefully FIRST) will be creating teams in the USA.
Also I get concerned that FIRST will overtax their human resources and be unable to help new and existing local teams succeed. They already seem so stretched to the limit in certain areas. That being said, its hard to stop a great idea from spreading far and wide. FIRST is a powerful concept.
