Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

On their behalf I am requesting assistance from teams willing to drive and operate the robot during most of friday and saturday.

We would ideally like a group of 4-5 people who would work together with the team on thursday and friday morning to familiarize themselves with the robot and the team's tools, and then take over later on friday to drive the robot and take care of it all the way through the rest of the competition.

This is a great opportunity for a team to get some field experience for a new drive team.

ideally we would like:
  • 2 drivers
  • 1 coach
  • 1 human player
  • 1-2 pit crew

Please feel free to ask questions, and please discuss this with your team leaders before committing to anything.

Teams willing to fill in all the above spots will be given priority since it simplifies the process, but it would also be cool to assemble an allstar team made from students from many teams, so don't hold back!

Thanks from the YTPT J.E.T.S, and the FIRST Israel community!

I will mention this to my team this afternoon! We will be in St. Louis with our primary drive team and our backup drive team. This would be an awesome opportunity for FIRST to show support for ALL people of ALL faiths. What an excellent way to also demonstrate Gracious Professionalism!
