According to DJ Fluck among others, I am going to IRI this year.

If you need any help with crew or just something, I'm more than willing to help.

Haha sounds fammilar...



Turns out we are getting an RV and going, at least a bunch of us. Woop woop im excited!

Yay IRI! I'm looking forward to it being my last robotics compitition. Although I have retired from driving to the best of my knowledge... so does that make me a Mentor? After all I can't touch the robot so I've been told... after all someone has to fill these shoes... lol you try being driver. Anyways an all Adult compitition would be cool and it would put our mentors back in line cause they entered the one at Sweet Repeat last year and since it didn't happen they said they won by default and we have been hearing it ever since :rolleyes: . IRI has been great of the past few years... and got signifigantly bigger last year... it went from like 30 to like 50 teams! Now thats a compitition!

Here is the latest update for the 2004 IRI!

July 9 and 10
Lawrence North High School
Indianapolis, IN (northeast side)

Registration for teams begins May 14.

Volunteer applications begin May 14.

Expected Registration Fee $350 - $400,
plus a backpack filled with 2nd grader materials ($25 or so).

60 Teams.

We are planning several 'special' activities for the IRI.
These are not absolute, but high on the likelihood list:

An 'adults only' round (that counts in your team ranking, just because).
A cook-out for all teams on Friday Night (Scott Ritchie on the grille)
A fun-filled breakfast on Saturday Morning
A "Presidents Award" that will sound similar to the FIRST Chairman's Award
A Mentor of the Year Award
A Human Player-based game
Special individual and team awards
A "talent show" for your entertainment
Great Fun
Some special guests (I hear the Invisible Man is coming!)

.. and more

Registration information will be posted on Chief Delphi and IndianaFIRST.org.

If it ain't posted by me, don't believe it
"The 2004 IRI Big Cheese"
Chris Fultz :)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

does that make me the little cheese? or for anybody who knows the history of my family...the stinky cheese?

there's a reason he's on the nu-matics team :)

sorry...i'm off topic again...woo IRI! I'm glad to see it at the countdown portion of the webpage...only 79 days!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Just to let the masses know - Sam Harding and I will be bringing Dance Dance Revolution... not sure when it would be played, most likely after the matches, and we'll make sure to bring the hard pad that he made (it's very good).

For those who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about - www.ddrfreak.com :]

How could I pass up a stay at DJ's Resort and Casino?

I'll be there as long as I put aside enough money for a ticket/get a job :p

47 is planning on coming down there to have some fun also! First year for me as a person going, and I hear that it's a fun competition...so I can't wait!!!!

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

It's not official yet, but 818 is thinking about coming down this year. The problem is that we'd be sending a skeleton crew, and we're not officially sponsored by the team (we're a bit broke right now), so we've got to come up with our own hotel and registration fees.

Still...I'd love to go, if we're able to. If 818 is going, I'm there. :)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

if i can find some way to go, i will. its a Long Way from South Florida

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Exactly.
I know i'm going...and flights are cheap from florida now too

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Yep, I love my grandpa.

2 nights before IRI last year:
Me: "Pop, I wanna go to a competition the day after tommorow in Indiana."
Pop: "I'll be over in 4 hours... I'm gonna take a nap first."

*Arrive at 4am on day of competition*

Definitly worth the trip, best competition I've ever gone to... loved it, not missing it for the world this year.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

We (1083) are camping out there too! Any good local spots would be greatly appreciated.
