But none of them seem to be coming to Atlanta this year.

I would have been really surprised if there were NO teams in Germany.

We've had two "actual Germans" on the TechnoKats in recent years (exchange students).

And one of them just finished up 34 hours of work at AndyMark over the past 3 weeks to earn money for his trip to Atlanta. (Way to go Tobi!!!!!)

I would write a glowing recommendation for him any day. He was very very productive.

We've also had various Germans working with us on 358 through our sponsor Festo. Usually they have been sent to the US to gain experience.
They typically spend some spare time bumming around the US sightseeing.

Team alumnus have keep up with each other and recently several decended on one of our past German mentors now living in Switzerland.


Europe (and the UK and Ireland) are represented by robotics teams in both FLL and FTC, as well as, India, Columbia, Chile, Peru, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Eqypt, Saudia Arabia, Haiti, Norway, Turkey, Thailand, Spain, South Korea, South Africa, Singapore, New Zealand, Jordan, Japan, more Australians, a regular smorgasbord of nationalities.

So that's:

• 344 FRC
• 100 FTC
• 85 FLL

For a total of 529 robotics teams attending Championship.

I happily stand corrected.
