yes, definitely. not to mention the 12 hour drive looking for ANYthing on the road that said 1089 (and that's no easy feat!). but we did find one, (mile 108 and 9 tenths) heading out of Pennsylvania.

Perhaps there might be a pool fight again this year? ;)

Just you wait guys... just wait :)


And what was this I heard last year about people playing Xbox in the early hours of the morning at Lawrence North (IRI Site) on the big projecting screen?? ::dreams of Halo on it:: :D

Great fun, I got a little scared when we were wondering around and that janitor "saw" us.lol.... The xbox was cool really big, but we didnt have audio and for some reason it didnt fit right so Halo didnt work well...Hockey was cool though. Although I'm not on a team I'll definetly be back at IRI next year.

It didn't help that we stayed up really late that night watching a movie.

BTW For anybody that is going to be flying to IRI be sure that you get a Limo instead of a taxi. I learned this the hard way. When the time comes I will post the number of a good limo company at the airport which I used to get to the bus station. It only cost me $11 from the airport to the bus station. As opposed to $43 from the bus station to the Omni.

Actually thats mostly my fault because as Ken left he woke me up and then I was supposed to get up and shower then wake up John and Aaron, but instead I just fell back asleep... But the movie the night before was so horribly made it was funny, and somehow it led to us deciding that Johns new name was Johnny Van-Neun, I don't quite remember how we came to that conclusion.

I think the phone call went something like this:

Roughly 9-9:30 AM (I believe)
Ring

JVN: "Hello?"

AB: "Hey John, its Andy and there is this robotics competition going on down the street and I was just wondering if you were going to show up?"

Ehh something like that....

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Just a reminder, don't take anything listed here as fact.
Just chit-chat,
Except the IRI dates, which are pretty close to fact, in fact.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

oh, but you might as well call it fact, after all if more than one FIRSTer agrees to it, it must be ;)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

maybe the fox news lady wont break our bot this year :( :ahh: :eek:

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Ken....I'm so glad to see that you will be at IRI again this year! In addition to doing an OUTSTANDING job with scoring, I had a great time getting to know you last year!

We wanted to get IRI dates out there so people could get the dates on their calendar. With the number of teams that are interested in coming, we thought it would be good to post early!

Good luck to everyone! :D

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

When will we get a confirmation about the dates and updates on indianafirst.org? We are looking forward to the IRI. :p

Hopefully after this FIRST season, we'll do some minor retooling and work on the IndianaFIRST site to post more information on the IRI.

I encourage tons of teams to come - and kids, if your teams can't come, bring yourselves! IRI is a wonderful, energetic atmosphere and great competition... come out and have some fun!
