Re: Your Last Year of FIRST!!!

I've been a part of my high school robotics team for the last 4 years now, but sadly i'll be heading off to college back in the Netherlands next year. Although I am very glad to be heading back home to be my home country and am excited about attending college there, there are currently no FIRST teams back in the Netherlands.
I've been putting a decent bit of thought into what the options could be when i go back. The first is to say goodbye to FIRST for now, and possibly start mentoring if i move back the US at some point in time, or if FIRST ends up spreading its magic over to Europe as well. My second option is to figure out how i can start up a team back in the Netherlands. I know already that my college work will not be too intensive, so i technically have the time to start up a new team. However, I also realize that it will be much more difficult to start up a team over there. I don't know how it will work with shipping, receiving the KoP, or attending a regional event back in the US or Canada. Does anybody know if somebody else has tried starting a team in Europe? Or does anybody have any advice as to how this could be done?
