Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
What an awesome opportunity for you all. Congratulations on this meeting! How did it go? Did he drive the robot? How was the security?
|
Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
The president did not get the chance of driving it. I don't know if you're aware of it, but he is almost 85 years old! (and still working 18 hours a day).
The security was not so bad, and it all went quite smoothly actually. |
Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
This is a great picture, and some well-earned recognition for your team.
I thought 1574 was one of the inspirational highlights of the 2007 Championship. Your enthusiasm on Newton is among my most vivid championship memories. Has President Peres seen an FRC Event? |

Good job Miscar!
I think FIRST Israel is finally starting to get the recognition in deserves. The program that was initiated by president Peres and Microsoft looks very promising (even though I am skeptical at this point). Hopefully things will start moving now that there is funding from a huge corporation like Microsoft, rather than the government and ministry of education which are affected by foolish political decisions and greedy individuals who prevented programs like FIRST from getting funding in previous years. I hope the Israeli teams aren't affected too badly by the ongoing strike in the Israeli high schools and universities. This is a huge issue and I hope it will be resolved soon, otherwise we may see programs like this and others disappear. |

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
oh man...That's awesome!
Do you have any mroe details on the "sponsering" that Microsoft is going to be providing. Will it be for individual teams or the event as a whole? |

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
Has anyone watched yesterday's Mabat news cast on channel 1?
They did tell about Microsoft getting involved and Shimon Peres launching a new program to attract people to engineering through participation in FIRST. Moreover, they mentioned some scholarship opportunities to overachieving participants. Anyone knows anything about that ? Sounds pretty interesting... |
Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
Guy – thanks for posting the photo and congratulations to your team for their representation of FIRST to the Israeli President!
To all of the FIRSTers in Israel who take the time to post on CD – Guy, Nir, Liron, Feliks, David and others: Thanks for reminding us how small the world really is! (and thanks for finding the English versions of your news articles to read!! :] ) |

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
Shimon Peres definately hit the nail on the head talking about the future,
explaining how he envisions the world of tomorrow. His speech was inspiring to me teaching how to think outside of the box. It is no wonder that a few months later he decided to launch a new project to bolster science and technology in Israel. It proves to us that he was really earnest in his speech. |

Thanks for posting the video. At the time I was way too concentrated on our first match to actually listen and remember what he said. It was nice to watch it again and actually listen to him this time. On a side note, I just wanted to point out that at the time of the regional last year, Shimon Peres was not yet the president (although he was a prominent politician and has been prime minister twice). I think that this year the press coverage (especially from major newspapers and news channels) and the general interest in the competition will be much greater now that he is the president and will be attending the regional. |
Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
This is really promising for all of FIRST. If Peres achieves his goal, we'll need more than 1 regional for Israel :D.

Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president
I thought it would be nice to add a picture of my team visiting our city mayor.
We met a few months ago with mr. Haim Tsuri who is the mayor of Kiryat Motzkin. We talked for hours about our impressions from the championship event. I personally said that it was a life changing experience for me. Another student shared his dream with the mayor. He said he hopes one day we will have sophisticated equipment for the construction of the robot. The mayor promised us to do his best and help us financially this season. So we are looking forward to see his deeds. I know it is of less importance than meeting with the president but the more publuc figures hear about FIRST the better it is for us. Anyhow, I think it's great that more and more public figures get involved in FIRST in Israel. :D ![]() ![]() |
