Do any teams do a lot during the off season. Just wondering, because our team does A LOT during the off season, but I know that there are some teams that don't see each other again until the game is revealed.

i knew you would tell me to post on FirstAid and it has already been done
our problem with the carpet is more about how to attach it to the floor.. and i'm afraid that with the type of floor i know they have there, i am pretty sure that ducktape wont work..

I'd love to. It looks like I'll be in Israel between Mid July and Mid August. If the Off Season is then, and it doesn't conflict with anything, I'd love to come.

Steampunk 1577 got some left over carpet from the Regional... it's half a field wide, has rubber on the underside, and is heavy enough to hold itself down without duct tape.

Some do more, some do less, some don't do at all.
There is an off season event. Last year we had 7 teams attending. I will estimate that about 25% of the teams are quite active (1-2 times a week), most are about (1-2 times a month), and about 25% do nothing.
it's the famous bell here =]

WHAT?! Duct-Tape won't work? you just shattered my world!
Anyhow, like Leav said, some carpets are heavy enough and don't need to be sticked, though works better when they are.
What kind of floor is this anyway?

i have absoloutly no idea how it is called in english (or in hebrew) and the fact that duct-tape wont work is just a hunch of mine.. i didn't intend to shatter any worlds

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?
