Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Yup, stay tuned to www.indianafirst.org for more info - Registration is in 4 days.

Also - if anyone is looking for places to go while in town - Castleton Square Shopping Center is roughly a few minutes away from Lawrence North H.S., and so is X-site - a lazer tag / arcade place. :]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

you are correct. Registration for IRI2004 opens May 14 (see Chris Fultz's post #79 on page 6 of this thread).

Also, if you plan on volunteering at the IRI, you need to register. It isn't first come first serve...but you should register quickly so we can check everybody out.

Good luck to everyone who is registering for the IRI...an official information packet will be released soon that is VERY important to all teams.

maybe we'll lock you inside the bed cover of your truck no matter what! :p

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Great, why exactly did I agree to room, with you two again?

Look what you got us into Mel ;)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Hey now, I think it will all be good. We'll have fun.

If people find out the room number...it wasn't me *shifty eyes*
B/c all the fun will be in there.

I feel your pain
 

You and me have the same problem. :(

:eek: I am SO there. ;)

DDR with FIRSTers is hysterical, right Ken?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Details for the 2004 IRI are posted in the white papers section under "misc" and also can be downloaded from IndianaFIRST.org

Registration is open to any team. 2003 participants and Indiana teams are guaranteed a spot if the register the first day. After that, it is first in .

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

If by some crazy turn of events we don't have a DDR pad, there is a machine about 5 minutes down the road that could be good for a little detour after the matches of the day :]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

How tough is it to get signed up? We have never attended an Off Season event and this one looks great!!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Just make sure you sign up ASAP right when registration opens - spots usually fill up fast.

Remember you've still got 2 days 17 hours and 46 minutes till IRI registration :]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

It's never too early to start bribing the refs ;) I'll be back, working on the ref crew again this year, along with most of the crew from last year.

*Just kidding... we would never take bribes :p Well, not monetary...though we do take food, fisher-price motors, and Lilliputians (but only in small denominations).

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

When I read that, I didnt know what it was at first so I googled it, and then when I found out what it was and read what Jeff had wrote, I proceded to fall out of my seat laughing. Only in small donations!!! HA!!! Good one Jeff!

If and body feels like it you can always bribe the field crew... It wont get you anything... but you can bribe them if you want :p

See you all at IRI!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

DON'T FORGET!!!

All of those people who hope to volunteer need to register also! :)

p.s. i love the new forum look. good job brandon!!!! :cool:

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Who should be responsible for registering one's team for IRI today. Does it have to be a mentor or can it be done by a student? Is there any particular information asked in the registration form that I would need to know (credit card number?) I ask just because our team mentor will be unable to register us today so a student will be doing instead. Thanks for your help.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Last year they sent an invoice for payment, no CC was needed, the person registering will be the one responsible for all contact with the IRI commitee so make sure they are on top of things.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Please note that the time counter at the top of the page is wrong... Registration isn't for another 1 hr. 30 minutes, or so. :]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Yeah. The website said '6PM Eastern Time'. I forgot, you guys have your own timezone, and that Eastern = Indiana Eastern.

Countdown fixed accordingly..

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Ryan do you know where the volunteer registeration file will be located?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

There will be a link on the main page and also on the IRI Info page. You shouldnt miss it. :]

Anybody wishing to volunteer for the event, please sign up on the site

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Ok so it is 7:02 and i have completed my volunteer registeration for IRI 2004, summer FIRST road trips here i come!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

From the IRI Event Manual:

"Round 5 is planned as a “TURNABOUT” match. Drivers and Human players
MUST be over 21 and cannot have been a high school student driver or human
player on a FIRST team."


I am dubbing this "The Anti-Kevin" rule :p ;) ....not that it matters since i'm not 21 yet and 1064 (sadly) won't be attending the IRI.

Still, way to go and dash my hopes of ever coming out of retirement!

Kev

P.S. You better believe I'm already registered to volunteer!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

What if you are noticably taller than most 21 year olds? does that count


-Big Mike The not 21 student who has never driven in a FIRST Match :(

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Team 81 and 135 are now registered for the 2004 IRI. We are up to 52 teams with 8 spots remaining. Register at http://indianafirst.org


:]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Is there a master list of all the teams signed up so far? Just thought it'd be interesting to see who the competition is, as we've never attended before! :)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Here i hope this helps...

2004 IRI Competing Team List

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

If we dont pay by the 15th will we still be able to attend? I ask this because I noticed there is not a wait list and still 8 open spots.

I was also wondering how teams traveling quite a distance are getting their robot there. We were trying to hook up with 222 for a bus ride to IRI but this would leave us without a car to take Burnie in.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

There is no waiting list, but we have to commit to food service, trophies, shirts, and other items for the tournament this week - these things are all funded from registration fees. Many have to be paid for before the event and without the registration $$ there is not enough cash to do that.

It is important to confirm which teams will be here, and the best way to do that is by the registration deadline.

If you have a problem with the 15th deadline, PM me and we can chat.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Special Awards Deadlines Approaching *******

Don't forget many of the special awards have deadlines for submittal of
June 30.

Details can be found in the main document or the two supplements.

The deadlines are critical to give the judges time to do their work!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Is IRI going to be broadcast on NASA TV or something to that effect this year?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Are you at least going to have live results on the website?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Ya... does anyone know if there is a site the results are on or does anyone just have any results?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Here's what I got from DJ: 71 is #1 seed and 980 is #2

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Man, this is the best tournament ever...the talent show was crazy, and the competition is intense.

For a while there 868 (Carmel Robotics, National Runners Up) were in last place, and even the martians were in the 20's. There will be a great conculsion, with many stories!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Anyone know how wildstang is doin and stuff or what they are ranked?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

An article on the IRI was printed in the Saturday, July 10th issue of the Indianapolis Star. We made the front page of the City and State section. :]

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

wildstang was the first pick of the #2 alliance (190, 111, 93). They lost in a three round quaterfinal to the #7 alliance (716, 571, 65). They won the imagery and design award (i think).
