It may, perhaps, be most useful to ask St. Louis area teams NOT attending the Championship for assistance.

They may be able to devote all of their batteries, all of their tools and spares, their robot cart, and perhaps a mentor with a suitable vehicle and knowledge of the local Home Depots and other stores to the cause of supporting international teams.

In fact, this might be a great initiative to involve local teams that haven't qualified, by making a few key people "honorary members" of overseas teams and helping them out.

After all, its not just Israeli teams that will face these challenges!
