Okay so Waldo is officially in love with all the Israeli teams. And for anybody on 1547 that doesn't share the same obsession as everybody else on the team, I definitely make up for it! 1547 was right beside 1577 and 1690 was almost right behind us so our three teams pratically lived in each others' pits all weekend - I think they're some of the nicest and most fun people I've ever met in FIRST. Waldo gave them 2 awards just for being the awesome teams they are. We love Israel!!!

Hello everyone!

Team 2669 KY Bots from Kiryat Yam went to the Kessler Home of the ILAN Rehabilitation and Sports Center in Haifa, Israel.

ILAN is an organization which seeks to provide health care and facilities for the handicapped in Israel.

Our team began wide scale collaboration with the organization a few weeks from the foundation of our rookie team on February this year.

We have already conducted several activities aimed at helping the handicapped people.

When we began doing this, I have to admit, it was for winning the Rookie All Star award.

Nowadays, however, we are doing this for the smiles on the people faces.

Nothing compares to a child playing with joysticks and feels the same like every other child of his age.

This is pretty much what we are doing these days.


The following is a link to a report on Israel Channel 2.
It was aired on "Ulpan Shishi" which is literally "Friday Studio" and it has above 30 percents of rating as it is a prime time show.

So what do you say?

Well at every competition we give out awards such as Most Spirited, Best Pit Design, Best Alliance Partner etc. I'm not sure if this picture works but there's pictures of me handing them out on facebook if you have that. Giving out awards is a great way to let a team know what they're doing is great. The Israeli teams were so kind to us the whole weekend and we both helped each other a lot. We had to let them know some how that they're really great teams. I wish I could've spent more time with the other teams from Israel though!



Sorry if I'm a little off topic!

I'll try to find them. What to type in the search ? Waldo ?

By the way, you can join and be friends with our team "KY Bots".

We have a page on Facebook.

I wish I could've spent more time with the other teams from Israel though!

There will be approximately 60 teams next year in Israel, so consider yourself invited to our regional !
