I can't wait to see these teams duke it out. Excellent choices as usual! Glad to see no changes to an already fantastic game.

Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
We've certainly put in a lot of hard work to get here, and after over 8000 man-hours this season and seeing the competition on the invite list, it feels like our work has just begun!

On behalf of all of Team 696, I would like to extend a big thank you to the IRI planning committee for the invitation. We are really looking forward to the event!

Also, I'm curious if there is any shipping deal worked out as in years past, or if it is up to each team.

Wow, I did not expect this at all. I guess team 696 will be seeing everyone there. What a great way to graduate from FIRST.

I believe they didn't apply. It's unfortunate, they were one of my favorite robots this year.

Since IRI allows you to have 4 robots on your alliance you can pick and choose which 3 will take the field in any given match (you could rotate in or use the same 3 for the entire elim tournament.) The lower seed (ie in the 1v8 match seed 8) would have to say which 3 robots are going on the field so that way the 1 seed could make adjustments to their lineup if necessary.

On behalf of CRyptonite Team 624, I would like to thank the IRI staff for accepting us! We are super excited to attend, and we hope to see all you great robots there!

Remember that you can swap out robots in any match in eliminations. All that rule says is that whoever is the lower seed (the blue alliance in QFs) has to declare which 3 of their 4 robots are taking the field before the higher seed does so.


On another note: When is the last time that IRI did NOT change the FRC ruleset, other than the elims alliances? Seems like it's been tradition to change SOMETHING every year, can't go against tradition!

Beat me to it...

I believe it means that if an alliance is going to sub in with a back up bot, the lower seeded alliance must be first to reveal that they are going to use their back up...gives higher seed a chance to counter with their own substitution if they feel the need to adjust for the other's choice.

As far as I know, 1986 has never participated in any competition over summer (unless you really want to count the Missouri State Fair as a formal competition).

Maybe we could "borrow" your robot and use it interchangeably with ours... :rolleyes:

But seriously, it's too bad you guys can't go, but we'll try to do KC proud!

610 did not apply either, correct? It' a shame if they didn't, I would have loved to see what they could do with an extra five pounds. 5/7 disk auto? >10pt climb?

Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
you are correct on the robot placement.

Since teams can select which 3 of 4 play during the eliminations, we wanted to specify who has to place first so that it doesn't take too long for teams to decide and get onto the field.

Pretty bummed we didn't make the cut, there's always next year.

I can't help but notice that over 20% of these are Michigan teams. I can't wait to watch the webcast! Maybe I'll have to organize a webcast party for my team.

Chris,

If the IRI planning committee is interested, I would be more then happy to bring down my equipment to Stream and Archive all of the matches for IRI.

Let me know.

ps. We can easily upload the content to an IRI YouTube Channel and stream to an IRI Twitch.tv channel.

We may be driving our trailer out, and it may not be out of the question to drive up through Las Vegas. There may be a chance we could take it for a portion of the fuel cost, which would amount to $500-$900 depending on if we get another team onboard and how the gas mileage turns out. Of course this is all still up in the air and pending several details on our end. If we can ship everything for less than $500 round trip we may not take the trailer.

I stated this spreadsheet if everyone would fill in the stuff they won itd be really cool to see some of the data out of all the teams attending

put in the number of times you won each award and put a zero if you didnt win that award, all the totals are at the bottom

Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
The old shipping support via BAX Global is no more since last year.
They had lots of internal changes and closed down certain divisions once they became DB Schenker.
Last year we shipped with the support of AM via their Fedex account which offered us better rates.

I would suggest sending them an email if you need shipping support. Its great that AM and the IRI team handles all of the drayage stuff once you ship to and from them.

Definitely some obviously strong competitors invited along with a light peppering of interesting decisions. Looks like it's going to be fun; too bad I'll be in Cincinnati all week on business (and baseball... GO REDS!)

Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
It looks like 967 will be able to send a group - I'm working on the logistics and things look good so far. We are very grateful to be invited - the list of teams is quite impressive!

If I was to pick my dream list of 64 teams for an Ultimate Ascent tournament, there would be a lot of overlap between that list and the actual IRI invite list.

Team 48 is thankful for the opportunity to compete at IRI once again and gratefully accepts the invitation (waiting to receive the official invite email). :)

If the IRI planning committee is interested, I would be more then happy to bring down my equipment to Stream and Archive all of the matches for IRI.

Let me know.

ps. We can easily upload the content to an IRI YouTube Channel and stream to an IRI Twitch.tv channel.

YES! that would be awesome!

Interesting data, Jim. As I suspected, Archimedes was the deepest field of 2013 to date, and MSC the deepest pre-CMP field -- but as the numbers speak loudly, neither holds a candle to the IRI. The cyclers will be so fast and the sweepers so clean, that I expect we'll see a few matches with the clock ticking down and NOTHING left to shoot!

We are having some database issues with getting the formal invites sent out.
We are working on it, but they have not been sent yet.

Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
So, the median for top OPR for MAR was around 35, and the average qual score was about 106 (roughly 3x the median which makes a lot of sense)
The median of MSC OPRs was about 45 and the average score was about 130 (again about 3X the median which makes sense).

The Median for IRI appears to be about 60.... If it follows the same trend, we could see average scores of 180 points... This will get very very interesting....

It's going to be crazy...I'm bummed that we had too many conflicts this year to try and attend. I'm still trying to see if I can make the trip down on my own as I don't want to miss this.

Should be an amazing event! Team 3467 is extremely excited to be representing New Hampshire and this is our team's first IRI trip! After a solid weekend at Battlecry our team is itching to get back on the field after one of our best performances of the year!

Unfortunately it looks like team 1806 will not be able to attend. Our head mentor will be unavailable during the event, and our school district is unwilling to allow us to go out of state without him.

Oh well, guess there's always the livestream.

:( Well thankfully I have no shortage of other teams to cheer for. Particularly interested in how 624 performs after getting upset at their 3 regionals. Most of their fates were intertwined with 1477, but they didn't have the resources for a 4th regional.

On a cursory look it seems that there are significantly fewer full court shooters here than on Galileo. Phew :o

Just from a quick look, you have 67, 148, 195, 217, 303, (1806 :( ), 2468, and you guys in terms of dedicated full court shooters. However if you add in teams that have full court shots, you of course add in 469, 987, 1310, and many other high-level teams.
It'll be interesting to see what role full-court shooters take at IRI.

IRI has always done it 1-8, 1-8, 8-1. Normally it's 1-8 then 8-1.

The serpentine draft is not thought of highly by many IRI-caliber teams. :rolleyes:

Paul, Karthik, and several others have posted extensively on this topic.

Additionally with the depth of IRI, being the 8th seed could be better than the first seed, getting picks 8 and 9 back to back. Both of these robots are guaranteed to be fantastic. By the time you get to pick 16 the talent will drop off a little bit (but not much). The first seed needs the ability to form the best alliance, and serpentine doesn't work for IRI in that regard.

Indiana teams get preferential treatment because IRI is in/from Indiana, but past that really no one gets preferential treatment; except the previous year's winners because they get an auto-invite.

DanielCH 03-06-2013 01:58
Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
Team 295 was passed over in the application process, team 2451 and team 706 were not. Both are relatively geographically near to IRI (but not in IN), and while I'm sure they're both absolutely fantastic teams, objectively we did have a bit of a better season than them (IMHO).

Those were just two examples that caught my eye, I really don't want to seem like I'm calling them out. Again, I'm sure they're both really great teams.

On a different note, is there any reason that IN teams are given preference? For an event as prestigious and selective as IRI, that doesn't really make sense to me.

Because it's the Indiana Robotics Invitation and they would like Indiana teams there for the most part.
If you have issues with the selection process you should probably contact Chris Fultz about it.

It's their party, they can invite who they want. :rolleyes: I remember our first year of being invited, the invite was almost a good as actually going. If I was an Indiana team that didn't go to St. Louis, a chance to face the Einstein teams would be very, very cool.

The years that I've gone to IRI and Paul C has been the MC for the draft, he's done a great presentation on why the serpentine draft is the greatest travesty of all time. VEX has learned from that, we do the selection "correctly".

I would be highly skeptical of that, even ignoring my skepticism of OPR as a robot metric. Even if all teams were capable of repeating (or building on) their peak performance, once we hit this level of competition their are overlaps in the points scored between robots. Namely autonomous discs (only one 7-disc scorer per alliance), climbing points (only one "inside" climber per alliance), and potentially even the 45-disc limit (especially when FCS are involved).

I'd be highly skeptical of an average score that high for that reason alone, but add in fact that some teams will have new drivers/key personnel, many machines are worked past their limit and will suffer issues, and general regression towards the mean (given it was peak performance that was being used) and I think it's almost certain we see lower average scores than 180.

There used to be a significant "Indiana team" bonus when trying to determine the invitees. With the advent of C.A.G.E., that no longer needs to be a large part of the decision.

Nobody who applied was "passed over". Everyone was run through the same formula to find the teams to be invited. Not all of that formula is performance-based, by the way. There's a bit of "what special quality does this team bring to IRI?" involved.

IRI has its roots as a local off-season for nearby teams to have fun at. For a long time, it was the only chance for many Indiana teams to attend a summer competition. It wasn't always a "best of the best" event.

2451 and 706 were both first round picks of regional Finalist. Both were solid.

Chris Fultz 03-06-2013 21:56
Re: IRI Rules and Team Invitation List
 
We won't disclose our process.

Current season performance is a big part of it. But a robot that is a 1st or 2nd pick could be "ranked" higher than a robot that was a 15th or 16th pick that won a regional. We select teams and robots, not alliances.

Indiana teams have a very limited preference, and it gets smaller every year.

We will be posting in the next day or so. Right now we are over 68 confirmed and a few are still working on school board approval - but are staying on contact with us.

Looks like an extremely competitive event as always with a very solid list of New England contenders (125, 195, 2648, & 3467)!

My exact thoughts too. It'll be interesting to see 359 from Hawaii. Counting down the days!
