Received your IRI invoice? Excited about going? Let us know who you are in this thread.

I'll start. Team 48 has received their invoice for the 2004 IRI and is looking forward to attending the competition, with or without Karthik as an additional team member. :-) We've got 4-6 mentors and 10-15 students making the trip this year, and it's going to be a blast!

Who else?

LOL....that's a REALLY INFORMATIVE poll you've created up there, D.J., Clark, and Dave. Really cute. SEE HOW THEY MOCK US, THE UNINFORMED? :p Ahem...SPECIFICALLY, would representatives of those teams who have received their invoices (and we now know you all should have received them, thanks to Dave) please post their team numbers in this thread? Certain power-hungry IRI planning committee members would have us all operate in ignorance by placing a shroud of secrecy around the *official* team list until people have paid their entrance fees. This thread is a way for inquisitive people like myself and Mike Soukup to circumvent their evil machinations. WE, THE RIGHTEOUS AND JUST TEAMS OF IRI WILL NOT BE HELD CAPTIVE BY THE OPPRESSIVE WILLS OF OUR HOSTS! They cannot stop us, the proletariat masses, from finding out who is going now muahahahahahahaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! !!!......:rolleyes:

Let me restart.....Team 48 will be at the IRI. We're taking about 15-20 people. We're setting up shop in a standard pit, kickin' it with all the cool teams in the gym. We're gonna stay at the Omni most likely.

Full disclosure, everyone. Don't let "The Man (Andy Baker?)" keep you down! :-)

I'll be honest with you, I don't know if we're going! The last I heard we were, but that was before registration happened. I just sent an Email to Jim, hopefully he'll get back to me tomorrow and I'll let everyone know then.

OK, here is the list already -

All of the teams that have registered are in the 2004 IRI.

All of the teams that have not registered are not in the 2004 IRI.

That should clarify things.

I am only responsible for the good stuff. ;)

As far as I know...and i e-mailed all the confirmations...only that many have signed up...i'm not sure if registration is still open...there are some teams that have been regulars at IRI who aren't there yet.

I'm in for that as well. Hopefully we will have a list of 60 teams to choose from.

We, the ignorant masses, thank thee, David, for the gift of knowledge thou hath bestowed upon the filthy peasant folk.

California represent!

Ok guys, for the last 3 years (including this year) at least one team from California has been at IRI (two this year). I think it's about time one of *YOU* came out here for Cal Games ;) Ask Paul, he'll tell you how much fun we have.

Cory

That would be awesome - but what if the Cal Games are right in the middle of plantin' season? Who'll mind the crops and herd the cows?

David Kelly

21-05-2004, 08:53

David and I were talking about this tonight and he posted this in another thread earlier so I'll repeat what he said....46 spots have been filled so far, registration is still open....so 14 more teams better hurry and sign up :p

Yes, we will have 60 teams. No more, no less. SIGN UP!!!!

DJ,

My guess is that these other teams are just scared. :)

Looking at the list above, I see 9 Regional Winners from 2004 and 7 different teams who have won the Championships over the years. Those other teams probably don't want to mess with the best. Would you want to travel across a few states to get your butt beat?

That's OK, these other robots don't mind collecting dust in July while their teammates attend frog-jumping and tulip festivals. We understand. I'm sure that they have better things to do, like watch the corn grow, pull weeds from their yard and spray each other with a garden hose.

We'll have fun just the same. I'm kinda lookin' forward to that "Talent Show".

Your bud,
Andy

(for some reason my PM feature is acting funny, so I hope you get this) :D

*edit - Oh, my golly gosh... I posted this?! My heavens, what will people think? hehehe*

Sean Schuff

21-05-2004, 10:26

Team 93 will be down with about 15 students, a few mentors and perhpas a few stragglers who want to know what FIRST is all about.

See you all in July!!

p.s. We still have not received our invoice, but our name IS on the list. Hmmmmm....

OUCH!! Are the rest of you east coasters going to take that from Andy?! How about you west coasters?! I dont see a lot of the Michigan teams we normally see at IRI registered yet, perhaps they're tired of getting a beat down!!! :yikes:

YES! 980 is coming back again :) These guys are awesome... We need more West Coast teams to follow in their footsteps and come to IRI :]

21-05-2004, 16:22

Well, Jim responded to my Email, but we're on the list, so needless to say, we'll be there.

Looking at the list above, I see 9 Regional Winners from 2004...
And don't forget those awesome Killer Bees who won 2! And watch out, our 2004 Human Player is gonna be there, so just don't even bother to sign up for the HP competition! :yikes:

(Kidding, kidding!)

Collin, you're doing a great job, don't worry!

And Andy, you have been terrible at covering up the emails and PM's! What are we going to do with this guy, folks?

Andy, you shouldn't say things like that to intimidate other teams. You have to understand and appreciate the fact that many teams are too timid to come out and show what their bot can do. I mean, this is THE premier off-season event, so you can probably understand their hesitation.

Let's be nice to the small, scared boys and girls of FIRST. Be a good boy.

Thanks Ryan. After the great competition we had with Team 234 in Phoenix, we just have to come and visit you folks again, especially since Libby (Team 393) gave us a personal invitation right here on Chief Delphi.

Fact is, although this has been our most successful year in FIRST so far, we just don't feel like the season is over. We are still looking around for some more good competitions, and we know a great place to find one: IRI! It was awesome last year, and this year, its going to be UNBELIEVABLE!

(One of our mentors figured out that the average regional qualifying scores of the teams currently on the list for IRI is quite a bit higher than the average for the teams attending the Championship Event. [Yes, he has all the scores for every team that went to Atlanta.] In other words, for any teams looking for a tough competition, a trip to Indiana is HIGHLY recommended!)

(Oh, by the way, the mid-west hospitality is impossible to beat! :-)

We still only have 48 teams signed up for the 2004 IRI. We have opened up this years' competition to 60 teams and we want to see 60 teams!! This fun-filled 2 day event features the annual 'cookout' (which features a cow that has already been slaughtered from the Ritchie Farm (http://www.ritchiefarms.com/)), the first (hopefully annual) talant show, website competition, animation competition, chairman's award competition and much more!! Indianapolis is a wonderful and clean city that everybody will enjoy!! There is a lot to do downtown including visiting the NCAA Hall of Champions (http://www.ncaa.org/hall_of_champions/global/home.htm), canal walk, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (http://www.brickyard.com/), and MUCH more!

Sign up and get to experience the Hoosier Hospitality while having fun with robots.

We have an incredible list of teams (http://www.indianafirst.org/IRIteams2004.php)signed up so far and we are looking forward to filling up the field.

For more information post in this thread or visit IndianaFIRST.org (http://www.indianafirst.org/)to register!!

We hope to see you July 9th and 10th!!

Paging 67? 469?

^ what i was trying to ask for also.

469 has never lost an IRI event, yet they have yet to sign up for this year's IRI....

^ what i was trying to ask for also.

469 played the most amazing series of matches at Atlanta. Our mentors have been trying to figure out how to hold our own against them. If they don't come, it will be like getting our snow boots on and then finding there's no snow. To Team 469: You guys are awesome!

We want 469. We want 469. We want 469. We want 469. We want 469.

(Oh, by the way, in our last match in San Diego last weekend, our drive team found themselves holding a yellow ball right beside Team 634's basket robot which was under our ball bin to catch the balls, so of course, our guys decided to pull a 469 manuever, and they held the yellow ball over Team 634's basket robot. Guess what happened? Three guesses. [Don't peak.] Yup. You got it. Part of our arm got caught in their basket and we did a little dance with them for the next 90 seconds. And we were being careful not to get caught! Reminded us of a certain match at Atlanta. :-)

As for Team 67, HOT, we saw videos of some incredible matches at Atlanta between them and Team 16 and others, and we were VERY impressed. Our statistics guy rates them as one of the top scoring teams in the country. We want them at IRI.

We want 67. We want 67. We want 67. We want 67. We want 67.

Good Deal :) 469 you guys are amazing as well - I can't wait to see you guys in action again at IRI.

To see one of the greatest matches of this year, look at the first quaterfinals match from the midwest regional on www.soap108.com :]

Alex Golec

26-05-2004, 18:25

Honestly I believe our team's success is due to our amazing mentors and drivers, we couldn't have gotten far without their dedication. I remember those chicago matches well. I was sitting around in the pits charging batteries when Ed (one of our mentors) runs in with the mangled gripper. He made a nice fix to it too: quintuple-riveted 1" flat stock to keep the gripper together. Although I liked Dan's previous fix to a now-retired gripper: standard screwdriver shoved down the pipe to keep its shape.
I can't wait for IRI.

Awesome!

Now we just need to contact the other "HOT" teams for this year, and get them registered, so that the winning teams at IRI will know that they competed against the best of the best!!!

Calling all "HOT" teams for 2004. Your presence is requested. Please register immediately for IRI.
