Re: disaster in israel regional

For those of us North Americans that don't know:

In Israel, the 5GHz frequency band that we use to run our robots is a restricted military frequency, and they're not allowed to use it. This is likely the source of much of the Israeli Regional's problems, as FIRST HQ and FIRST in Israel had to come up with an alternate solution using the 2.4GHz band. This solution was probably less than perfectly tested, and hasn't got nearly the mileage on it the our 5GHz based system does here in NA.
