A) who says 1574 is working the 'hardest'? I don't know who is working the hardest and neither do you. Everybody is working as hard as they can. There is no question though, that 1574 is working very hard and very efficiently (as evidenced by both their robot and their entrepreneurship award).

B) How exactly does a crowd that cheers for it's own team is arrogant? I wouldn't expect anything else from a crowd... It's their team and that's what they should root for, nothing even slightly wrong with that. It's not like they were boo-ing everyone else.

C) There will be an off season, and it will even be close to your home. Stay updated.

I would like to clarify the issues above:

A) "Working Hard" is subjective and some teams can't work as hard as they might have wanted, because of reasons not in their power. I think everyone worked hard and there is no doubt 1574 is one of the most efficient teams and many teams have already seen how much thought goes in every detail in their bots. They are not the only ones to do so, but we all agree they are one of the best in knowing how to do the process of building right.

B) The only reason I mentioned arrogance is because Yaron wrote ALL his titles, like it's in purpose to prove that because of them - he knows best. He should really put them all in his Signature, if he wants us to know that so much. About the crowd: I was sitting close to them, I know how they were. Misgav's crowd came to see their team win the competition again, like it's an obvious thing. They cheered only when the Miscar was on field or when they got a good dumping, they were silent the whole other time. You can't say that it was good as 2212's or 2630's (or others that i don't remember) was. They cheered 24/7, no matter who was on the field and no matter if their teams were winning or losing. That's a real FIRST team spirit!

C) Are we going to have an off-season in Kiryat-Yam? P: I sure hope so! I also hope that we will be able to fix our bot till then XD
