Even 36 Israeli teams is nothing. In Israel there are probably more then 50 high schools that participate in the Fire Fighting Robot Contest and Robocup. Except those there are probably a few more dozens of schools that have technical or computer science majors, and have the tools and resources to compete in FIRST. I believe the main thing that will stop the expanding of FIRST in Israel is $$$. There is a limit to how many Israeli companies can give 10,000$ sponsorships to teams.
