If you can drive to GTR then you don't need passports... just proof of citizenship. Even when passports become a requirement for crossing at land borders, the US Department of Homeland Security is considering waiving that requirement for students travelling as part of a school or community group.

The customs requirements for the robot, while entailing an extra piece or two of paperwork, are not particularly onerous, especially with the assistance that GMC is providing this year (shipping contacts will agree, I think, with a big Thank-You to Raylene).

If you can catch GTR in one of the years when there are two playing fields, then it really is an event not to be missed.... with the Pontiac and Chevrolet fields both rolling along there is no pause for re-setting the field... just continuous robot action.... and it's not bad in the one field years, either!

We've been to Portland three times now... it's not that complex. C'mon up!
