Team 16 applied. Against all my better judgment... :ahh:

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

Team 340 has applied!

2914 has applied!
We've been working on improvements all season, and we haven't stopped yet. Starting with a group of students, only one of which has a previous year of FIRST experience, we started simple, but didn't stay there. We've gone through 7 or 8 major iterations on our shooter, upgraded our gearboxes, upgraded our intake, and now have a basic vision system working. Our bridge manipulator has worked flawlessly from the beginning, so we've left that alone.

We hope to be the first team from DC to attend IRI!

4334 has applied :)

This makes me sad. The Talent show was the best.

Talent Show
This year, at the 2012 IRI, we are not having a Talent Show. However, the Dean Simmons and the Kamen Brothers band will play, and they are seeking long-lost relatives (guest musicians) who would want to join them for a song or two.

1718 had officially thrown our hat in the ring...we are hoping to have a couple improvements in place if we are invited!

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

1640 applied as well! IRI is such a blast, and all our rookies (and vets) are really looking forward to the experience if we make it. Good luck to everyone! So many amazing teams applying. :o

What if they did fully hybrid matches with everyone using the kinect?

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

I have a strong feeling that won't be happening.

Not to mention that the majority of teams did not invest any time in trying to use the Kinect for hybrid control this year.

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

I respectfully disagree and point you towards the blood, sweat, and tears of laughter from 254.

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

(One team does not make a majority)

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

Majority means not all. Most teams did not, but some, like 254, did.

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

Oy. I'm thinking some here aren't quite aware of the nature of 254's Kinect "usage". ;)

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

Some of you know my opinion on what they did.

Re: 2012 I.R.I. - Updated Event Information
 

254's "usage" was the only that made any sense the entire season.
