Re: VexPro delayed deliveries for Israeli teams

I wholeheartedly agree. Israeli (and all international) teams have it hard enough.

We try to source as much stuff locally as possible but in some catagories AndyMark or Vex products are the only viable and affordable alternatives (CIMs, transmissions, hex bearings, inch hex shaft, wheels).

We love the products from both companies and it's a constant struggle for the FIRST Israel regional directors to make stuff available to us (e.g. the RSLs are currently stuck in customs because they look like car lights and customs wants a note of compliance to Israeli standards for car lights...)

It would be really awesome of VEX to decide to step up their game for international teams. 55 Israeli FRC teams would really appreciate it!

-Leav

P.S. and while we're at it. It's worth giving AndyMark a big thank you from all Israeli teams for spending time on building a fast and efficient process for Israeli orders. Knowing we can depend on AM means peace of mind in one area at least!
