Jon,

I would have loved to have been there. I remember some of the posts and stories you have shared with us about the experiences you have had. They have all made me smile and very happy to see so much positive impact occurring.

@Alan - your wife has an awesome sense of humor.

6 teams are indeed attending the championship, but this is only a problem for one of them since only one team is comprised of religious students.

If you'd like to know more - wikipedia, As always, proves to be a good source of information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel
I can give you the short version right now: we're a complicated country...



----------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding finalizing the team:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm going on vacation for the weekend (Thursday-Saturday), so I'll leave this open until Sunday.
On Sunday I'll contact everyone who volunteered (anyone who has posted here or contacted me via PM by then) we can work together to build the best volunteer team to help 3358!

Thanks again for volunteering... you are all reminding me why I love this community and FIRST so much

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

Team 1551 will have our drive team at Championship and almost definitely will NOT be competing (we're still waitlisted), so we'd love to participate!

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

Team 433 would also like to offer our help in any way that we can.

One of our senior drivers has volunteered to fill any of the drive team spaces needed.
She has two years of field experience (regional and championship level) as 1st driver and 3 years of off season experience as first driver and operator. We also use mecanum wheels so it should not be hard for her to adapt to your controls.

My programming mentor also wanted me to ask what language team 3358 programs in because if labview, we would be glad to provide a programmer and mentor for their pit as well as any other help you would need throughout the competition.

Team 1983 would be happy to help in any way that they can.
We are honored that some of our brothers and sisters in Israel are participating and obeying the sabbath law at the same time.

Our pit is yours if you need any help.
I would suggest that you form a helper group that are from the Division that you are assigned. You will find this out closer to the CMP.

Let us know any way that we can help.

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

I have some kids that would be happy to help in any way possible. One of them actually recommended 1551. As Partick pointed out they will have thier drive team there but probably not be competing. I know they are familiar with mecanum and have used it as a drive for many years. Let me know if you need anything.

Will they have other things they need help with while in St. Louis like scouting?

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

I spoke to my team this afternoon, and the six students and I are all very excited at the prospect, so please let us know what we can do to assist!

As Rees said, we've been using mecanum for a couple of years.

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

Leav also has requested that teams sign his team flag that was left at the side of Curie last season that I will be returning to another Isreali team at St. Louis. It's an Isreali national flag but he said it's ok (I hope it is) . I will leave it at the side of the field with a couple of fabric markers for anyone who is on Curie or Archimedes to feel free to sign for them.

Re: Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

Hi, my name is Kyle Tress, and I'm a dean’s list finalist from last year on team 357. I talked to my team and if you would like we have 3 team members and 2 mentors which would be more than happy to help out. I am one of the team members that would like to volunteer. I have about 3 ½ years of regular season driver team experience, and about 3 years of off season drive team experience. Of those years 3 of the years I was driver. Most of my experience is with Maccum drive seeing how our team has used it every year but one in the time I have been on the team. I have also worked in the pit on my team for the past four years. The other team member has about 1 ½ years of off season operator experience. He has also about 3 years of experience of working in the pits. The third team member has about 3 years of experience working in the pit and has had experience being human player for about the last 2 years. All of the students have been on the team for the past four years.

The one mentor has about one year experience of coaching and about two years experience of working with the students in the pit. The final mentor has never been coach but has worked with the students in the pit for many years. If you need two more students to help out to work in the pit, I may be able to get some of the first and second year members of our team to help out, but I’m not positive if they can yet. If you would like any of us to volunteer and help out, we would be more than happy to. If you have any questions, just let me know.

All just an idea, but if in the end you pick a single team to volunteer, you may want to try and ask FIRST if they could put you in the same division and have your pits next to each other. I’m not sure if they would go for it, but I know it would make it a lot easier for the team who is picked to volunteer.

Thanks,

Kyle Tress

BUZZ 175 supported 2214, the Yamin Orde Youth Village, a couple years ago. Two of our students had a blast. Even wearing the Israeli flag and "ready" to say "Team 2214 graciously accepts" in Hebrew!!

I will see if we have any students available.

Team 1089 isn't competing at the Championships this year, but our lead driver and strategist will be at the event. We were hoping for a team to Rent-a-Helper for the weekend, and we'd definitely be interested in helping you out whatever you need!
