Go to Post There can be a fine line between intimidation and inspiration when it come to the elite in FIRST. Those teams who have committed to setting the bar for excellence in ways that change the culture, help to draw that line and deepen it. - JaneYoung [more]

The video on their page says something about FRC 2037? Are they just a re-registered team with a new number?
Anyone know any details of that, or were they just partnered with them in a way (ie: FRC2037 mentoring them)?

Re: FRC in Germany?
Their kit might already be in Germany, just supervised by a FIRST official. This is how it's done in Israel.

There have been teams from UK and Netherlands in the previous years, so i would assume they have the same 'rules' applied.

They would profit from any sponsor possible - money is money, and they need a lot of it if they are to make it to the Las Vegas regional.

Re: FRC in Germany?
Over the past 3 years, team 1884 have received their KoP a week late which is annoying. I believe this was the case for all the UK teams. This year our team will be holding the first ever UK Kickoff event thanks to our new mentor Jeff Wetzel. The 3 UK teams will receive their KoP on Kickoff which is brilliant.

I believe that the Netherlands team is mentoring the German team as it says they are mentoring on their information page. They are also both going to Las Vegas regional.

Re: FRC in Germany?
Wiesbaden is the location of a major US Army base, which explains the sponsors.

Re: FRC in Germany?
If you read one of their documents. The school is for children of American military and civilian personel. So it's really an American-German team.

This is such an awesome step for FIRST. =)

Now for MORT to call up our contacts in Germany and start more teams...

That's pretty awesome! It's still great, because clearly these children are really into FIRST, and that could possibly make an impact to natives in the surrounding areas.

Definitely. All we need is a start. So...is BMW gonna sponsor the native German teams or is Siemens? So many possible sponsors...

Re: FRC in Germany?
Figured I'd Unveil the Mist surrounding us back here in germany

If there are any questions about us then feel free to ask them here.
First and foremost, My name is Nick, And Yes, Wiesbaden is an American Military Base located in germany.

Our team is 3011 and team 2037 is pretty much the team thats going to show us the ropes. It is our first year in the program. And yes again. It does cost us a lot more,

One could say that we have an assload more work to do than the people in the states when bulding our robot because we use both the metric system and pay twice for all materials bought and shipped from the states. Flat tips are predominant in europe so its annoying working with drills and etc...
(Meaning, little use of phillips)

Re: FRC in Germany?
Something really cool is that a foreign exchange student that we had in 2007 is working on building the first ever, all-German FRC team. He supposedly all ready has sponsors too! I'm excited about that because it's time to push our way into more countries!

Personally, I'd suggest Torx or Hex socket (Allen) over Phillips anyway. I'm sure one or the other is available in Europe...
As for the Metric system, count your blessings. Once you're used to it, it actually makes much more sense.
