I'd have you know that in spite of what you may think of Israel, it has an highly developed hi-tech industry. One of the most advanced industries in the world for hi-tech products and technologies.
And many international robotics competitions like this one: http://www.trincoll.edu/events/robot/ are usually won by Israeli teams.

I was somewhat suprised that Israel was included in FIRST before, say, Japan, mainly because I would think sponsorship oppurtunities would be harder to come by in Israel, simply because it's a smaller country. I'm happy to see Israeli firms, or whoever, stepped up to the plate.
