although this is quite trivial, i think (during the webcast) they should have showed the FRC regionals taking place across the globe, not only in the US, especially since there are several Canadian regionals, among other places.

I agree. I feel like while this goal of showing off all of FIRST's programs on it's 20th anniversary is nice, it is proving logistically challenging, especially to programs overseas or in rural areas. While having a minibot is not necessary (as only 2 of 3 robots will need to deploy minibots), it seems to me that a majority of the teams will want to attempt this, and the fact that it is logistically more difficult for them than better connected teams is an unfair disadvantage.
