Hey, 397 had a German citizen on the team this year! Couldn't have competed without her, she wired a good chunk of the robot.

Re: Champ Attendees

We've only sent a dozen or so people off to Atlanta, but as long as we are talking about international teams, our club is a mini-UN. We were going through this just the other day: USA, Canada, Romania, Israel, Indonesia, Australia, India, China, Vietnam, and Ohio.

Perhaps you could post where those teams hail from?

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

Re: Champ Attendees

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.

It would be interesting to see the breakdown compared to the number of teams that went to Championships with the number of teams registered from each state or country.

Team 2468 had a great time in Galileo this past week.

This question got asked and answered in the Registration thread, but just for the FRC teams.

Thanks Mark. I did not see the thread. I had searched but had not used the right terms.

Re: Champ Attendees

I think there was a korean foreign exchange student on 2771 code red, so does that count as a country being represented?

I assume that they'd count just as much as the German exchange students do.

It would be pretty awesome if all of the exchange students went back to start FIRST teams in their own countries.

Re: Champ Attendees

The NC Gears had a German exchange student on the drive team all year. He did a great job and will take his enthusiasm home with him. He will be missed!

Until there is a regional competition in Europe, I don't see much chance of growth there. Until there are teams there, I don't see much chance of having a regional. Hmmm.
