Thank you FIRST Israel!!!!
 

I would like to personaly thank all the people behind FIRST, those who went to see what FIRST is(those being Technion people) and said to themselves: "We can do that in Israel!". I'd like to thank them for ttaking their enthusiasm and used their own personal time, money, mind, body,souls and dedicated everything to make this thing happen. I thank them for being able to hold this competition for 3 years now and I'm hoping they will be able to continue holding it for next year and for the following years with the help of the right people. Thank you FIRST Israel founders!!!

I would like to personaly thank today's Regional Managers and producers of the FIRST Israel competition, being Asaf Menuhin the producer and Alisha Wallenstien the Regional Manager. This two wonderful persons have went here and there around all the places related to the Israel competition, specifically being the teams, and helped them with any kind of issue or request.
I would like to personally thank Asaf Menhuin, his first year, if I'm not mistaken, as the producer. He kept our team updated on the rules of the game, how the competition works and he was there at the begining to explain to us what FIRST is all about.
Thank you Asaf for producing such a fine competition here in Israel!

Secondly, I would like to give a big thank you to Alisha Wallenstien the Regional Manager. She was once a 12th grader participating at FIRST in the US and now she's managing the regional competition in Israel. She helped our team to recevie any updates on game issues, on parts that were shipped to us.
Thank you Alisha for everything you've done for us. There wasn't a time that you haven't gave us a satisfactory answer to any question we had. Thank you soo much!!!

I would like to thank my team, for being there with me and helped create an amazing robot. The amount of compliments from other teams is unbelivable!!! We were rookies, we had some bad luck , we reached last on the ranking, but we ended being 4th in the elimination matches where we lost at the sem-finals! We were really close to the final and that's a big success to our team as a first year team. Congratulations team!

Furthermore, and the most important in my opinion, I would like to thank our mentor, Lilach Muzikant. She and her family were there for us all the time. She was our guidance all along the way: Money issues, parts-buying and building and fixing, strategy, safety, technolgy, science and what not!
I firmly believe that our mentor has given more than she was supposed to and it would come to appear in a time later. We owe this mentor soo much, our team wouldn't manage without her at all. We had some downfalls but she was there to raise things up.
Thank you Lilach for giving a first handsight of what FIRST really is. We all enjoyed the competition, the bulding process, the tournament, everything. It was really fun.

Thank you FIRST Israel!!!! I really had fun this year and I'm hoping to have even more in next year!

GO FIRST!!!!
