Today was the first day of the Israeli regional, which was used for inspections and practice rounds.
Some facts about the regionals:
The Israeli regional is the only regional competition out of north America.
Israel is the country with the most FRC competing teams outside of north America.
This is the second regional held in Israel (the first "full" regional with more then 24 teams)
26 teams competing:
12 veteran teams
14 Rookie teams
3 teams eligible for attending the Atlanta championship
(Rookie All-star, Chairman's award and Head of winning alliance.)
I was very surprised to see really good robots today. There are some pretty cool and innovative designs (I will post pictures of them tomorrow).
Videos of the regional will be available on line (don't know where they will be uploaded yet)
Here are some pictures of the pits and field. At the end of the event I will upload pictures of the robots, games etc.
