2009 New Zealand Regional Cancelled

[BrentJ]

Hachiban I think they may be thinking something along those lines.
At the moment every month is a Vex competion.

I am not sure if any teams will go over to other regionals. It'll depend on cost etc.

It would also depend if First holds an official kickoff here.

I don't know if the teams would go just to watch even if they had the money.

Jason does make a good point about getting more time to learn next year with out the pressure. Hopefully they will put on some more mentor training.

We have a school year that runs from late January until early December. So may be next year we could spread the training / fund raising.

Here's a question for you guys.

Do you have on your teams, students who have basic metal working skills such as turning metal on a lathe, milling machine operation etc. I am not thinking about the whole team but maybe a couple of people on the build team or do you tend to use mentors or outside companies?

Thanks for all your support. I must admit to being disapointed as I had hoped to be making that trip to Atlanta.
