The message should be FIRST goals/mission that the best robot, the most inspirational, the most engineered robot may win is not passing to the students <cut the rest>

I think it was pretty obvious that the 2 best teams overall in Israel this year were 3316 and 1574. And they did win... At the end of the day, 1574 ranked 25 in quals because of bad "luck", but were good enough on the field that they got selected as the 1st choice of the 1st seed (that would be 3316)...
About having bad partners in all 10 matches... the disrespect that screams from that statement aside, mabye if it happened in ALL 10 matches, the issue was not with the partners...
On the technical side of things, I just have to say that FIRST needs to get it together.. you cannot have the FMS crash during practice day for about 4 hours with teams yearning for play time, plenty of matches replayed (including F1, which was replayed but the FMS already tweeted a blue win. The rematch was then won by Red which won 2-1 in the Finals), and so on... They have a year to get ready with what I'm assuming is a pretty big budget... things like that should not happen, regardless of which regional you are at. I know things will never be prefect, but things like this happen, sadly, too frequently.
(And as a side note, that obviously is not a spite at the volunteers and the folks over at the Israeli regional, who gave it all they had and then some more, doing great work on fixing the issues on practice day, and in general - giving a great experience overall
)
