Okay I finally found some time to write a few messages...

First of all I would like to say that my team (1577) had a blast at IRI. It was totally worth the money and effort that was put into it. Although we weren't as successful as we expected to be (something always has to go wrong), it really was a fun event and a unique experience.

A huge thanks goes to Chris Fultz and Andy Baker the amazing organizers for helping us with everything we needed (I had sent Chris a few million messages during the months before IRI).

Another gigantic thankyou (I really couldn't find the words to describe the greatness of our gratitude) to BAX global (and especially Scott and Nathan). Without BAX we wouldn't be able to come with our robot all the way from Israel. I believe this is the same for the California teams. Our original idea of disassembling the robot was crazy and would never work

Also, thanks to these teams for helping us out with batteries and chargers:
1114 968 461 1018

And to our pit neighbors 45 and 234 for helping us out with tools, advice and everything else we needed.

Thanks to all the nice people that stopped by our pit to talk to us about our robot and team.

And a final thanks to Libby Ritchie and Jane Patterson from 393 (and of course Chris) who helped me come to the IRI last year. My great experience last summer (and of course my desire to play with the greatest teams around) led to the decision to bring my team and robot along this year.

Hope to make it to my 3rd IRI next year...
