Awards

"Mevoot Eron" high school has a distinguished record in the FRC, as well as similar competitions. In years 1999-2001, we took part in the Fire-Fighting contest for building a fire-extinguishing robot. In all three years, we achieved one of the three highest scores in Israel, as well as high scores in the international competition, except for 2001 in which we could not attend it due to financial reasons.

In 2002-2004 we weren't able to take part in this competition anymore, again for financial reasons.

In 2005, FIRST Israel was founded and the FRC began to run annually in Israel. "Mevoot Eron" has been attending it each year since and has won the regional competition in each of the three years. Additional team achievements in the FRC include:

In 2005, we could not fund the flight to Atlanta

In 2006, we attended the competition and achieved 27th place out of 85 teams in our division.

In 2007, our participation was yet to be certain until two weeks before the flight, due to a lack of funds. Eventually we managed to get the necessary financial support, have attended the competition and even achieved 12th place in our division.

In 2008, we attended the regional competition, and arrived to the quarter-final.

What will happen this year? Who knows, we hope for the best of course...
