The forum that Tal was talking about is FIRSTAid.

It's the Israeli Unoffical FIRST community forum. It's the more populated forum, and has been the main source of information and discussions about FIRST among students and mentors.

The forum is mainly in Hebrew, but you are more than welcome to post in that forum. Most of the members in the forum know English, but for those with difficulties, We can help translate for you .

I would personally like to congratulate you on taking the offer of coming to Israel (while missing the oppourtonity to be in the Championships! , and a huge challenge of getting the robot and other equipment through customs), I am sure that all of the FIRST Israel will welcome you with open hands!

This could be the first year that the Israel Regional (after running for more than 5 years) will have a visiting team from other countries. In the Israel regional, we have Jewish teams and Muslim teams competing together, and this year we will have a Christian team too! So we will have all three main religions in our Regional!

Once again, we thank you for taking the offer of coming to Israel, we hope you will have a good time here visiting some very important religious sites, such as Nazareth , Biet Lechem, Jerusalem and more...
And, of course, we wish you will have a great time in our Regional with all the Israeli teams!
For us, you are bringing US FIRST to all of the Israeli teams, especially for those who haven't yet received the chance of experiencing Atlanta.
