Finalists: 330, 980, 56

Winners: 33, 233, 868

Unfortunately a two year reign of California as IRI champs was not to be.

Congratulations to the winning teams, and everyone else :)

Congrats to the winners and everyone for doing such a great job.

It was fun watching you all battle it out of course. Great job and congrats again.

Could someone put up all the award winners when they get them. The feed 'died' before the award ceremonies. It would also be cool to see how much everything at the silent auction sold for too.

Congrats to The Killer Bees, The Pink Team, and The TechHounds.

JT

also if someone has a bracket from quaters to finals so we know what the alliances were and such that would be awesome :D

+ congats to the pink team + the killer bee's + the tech hounds...

wow... 3/6 teams are from like far away from the finalists =P 330, 56 + 233... guess IRI is worth the trip =X

980 was also from California, making it 4 of the 6 finalists. Maybe they seemed to fit in too much since they won last year.

#1 beat #4 in the semis and #2 beat #6. Otherwise, everything seems to be correct.

no offense to anyone but i find that place has little in common with the quality of robots and i consider good designed robots to be the real winners so... i would like to give a huge congratulations to those with truly good designs and thats what first is really about! :)
HEY THIS IS MY 2.5 POST!!! (i guess this is half a post :D )

fun competition and fun finals to watch. Is there somewhere that we can download parts of or all of the webcast??

Thanks for clearing that up.. I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly.

Well, I'm going to give my best shot at remembering who won what. For those awards other than our own I do not recall the "official" title, but here is what I recall:

Team Spirit: - 233 Team Pink
Judge's Award #1: Rookie of the Year - 1646
Judge's Award #2: ??? - ???
Most Awesome Drivetrain - 222 Tigertrons
Driving Tomorrow's Technology - 494 Martians
Outstanding Quality - 469 Las Guerrillas

"I'm so bright I gotta wear shades" recognition: Mike (71), Bharat (25), and a couple more - this was basically recognition of outstanding/noticable/kind/positive/etc. students.

IRI Unsung FIRST Hero: Marian Passmore, Team #233
Robotics and Programming Teacher, and Team Pink mentor since 1998.

IRI Scholarships:
Scholarship #1: Rolls-Royce: ???
Scholarship #2: Allison Transmissions - Greg McCoy, 45
Scholarship #3: AndyMark: ???
Scholarship #4: IFI - Lisa Perez, 573

I'm apologize for the limited information; this is all that I have off the top of my head. (man, it was a looooong drive back from indie)

On a cultural note, Paul Copioli had a difficult time understanding the culture of Arkansas, and why the Bomb Squad (#16) sat during the wave, and then stood when asked to sit. And of course, as the announcer, he had a great deal of bias favoring the "house" alliance: 33, 233, 868. And we all knew it.
To Paul Copioli- Thanks for all the humor and liveliness!

IRI was absolutely awesome and I know my team and I had a great time. Congrats to the "house" alliance, the finalists, and award/scholarship recipients!

I have will have the complete list of Vex awards, auction results, FRC Awards and scholarships posted on Indianafirst.org within the next few days or so.

Keep checking over there as they will be posted as they roll into me.

At IRI, Team 1501 received the Imagery and Design Award for our monocoque designed robot.
Also Team 1501 was in the three alliances that posted the three highest scores. (95, 105 and 121 points :ahh: )

I'm proud of our team

Wayne Doenges
Lemmings non Sumus

Alll these awards are well and great, what about the talent show?

A kid from 393 won it by playing his guitar..I forget his name though.

Davey

He was awesome.

How could you forget Dave from Motown??? :D

Yes, Davey definatly earned his winning at the talent show. Some of the best guitar playing I have heard in a while.

Great job to 33, 233, and 868 for an outstanding time, and congrats on your win!!! :). You guys/gals did great.

The IRI Talent Show was a huge success. The judges were as follows:

Paul Copioli, from FANUC Robotics and winner of the Woodie Flowers Award 2005
Tony Norman, founder of Innovation First, Inc. and 1993 Champions
Raul Olivera, from Motorola and winner of the Unsung FIRST Heroes Award and 2003 Champions
Libby Ritchie, from Morristown High School and coordinator of the IRI
Ken Patton, from General Motors and winner of the Woodie Flowers Award 1999 and 2003 Champions
JVN, from Innovation First, Inc. and winner of the Unsung FIRST Heroes Award
Dave Lavery, Program Executive for Solar System Exploration for NASA and Regional WFA winner

The judges were announced, walked out by Collin Fultz' assistants Twinkie and Bambi (Tiffany Gach and Beth Sweet), and the roadies for Dean Simmons and the Kamens played them a welcoming song (Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. It went something like 'John... John John John... John John John... JVN....' but for each mentor).

The acts were as follows, but not in this order:
1. Ethan Hardwick and his banjo
Ethan played a small selection of songs for the show, and received a huge round of applause.

2. The Wildstang Adult Band
Consisting of many mentors from Team 111, they played 'Sell Out' by Reel Big Fish. They rocked the house. The judges deemed this 'MildStang'.

3. Linnea Paton's Song
A song written by Linnea and Jaine Perotti from 716 about FIRST addiction. most memorable was the line "My name is JVN, even though I'm a girl..."

4. Davey Berling on guitar
Davey played a lot of classic rock songs on his guitar. He received a standing ovation for his amazing playing, and was voted winner of the show.

5. Contortionist from Team #16
This student could move his arms and legs all around his body, as well as 'jump rope' with his arms. He really wowed the audience.

6. The Wildstang Student Band
A group of students from Team #111 played Wild Thing for the audience. The judges deemed this 'ChildStang'. Most notable was one person shouting shortly before they began, 'Turn it up, Scheck!' This led to the heckling of Wildstang mentor Dave Scheck throughout the show (he was helping with sound).

7. Campfire songs from Team #378
Students from this team came out to do a round of campfire songs, including the audience favorite 'Gray Squirrel'.

8. Linnea Paton's dancing
Linnea came out for another act, dancing in Irish style to Celtic music. This was another audience favorite.

9. The Pink Nose Whistlers
The Pink Team #233 played the Nose Bagpipes, to the audience's delight. This consisted of about ten people, and was a hit.

10. Kristen Donnell and Dominic Domingo
Kristen and Dominic had both sang the national anthem both days of the IRI. They did a lovely duet for the show, and gave a spine-tingling performance.

11. The Trombonists from Oconomowoc
Both trombonists had performed in last year's talent show, and this year did another outstanding job.

For his amazing act, Davey won a plastic pink flamingo signed by the judges. Shortly thereafter, Collin came and thanked the audience, and yelled for the band, and the stage went dark. The crowd went wild, and Dean Simmons and the Kamens came on for a 14 song set.

I want to thank everyone who made this talent show happen: Collin Fultz (who was amazing!), Chris Fultz, Andy Baker, Libby Ritchie, Jeff Maberto and his crew, Dave Lavery, Tony Norman, JVN, Raul Olivera, Ken Patton, Paul Copioli, all of the acts - especially returning from last year (Linnea Paton, Davey Berling, the trombonists from Oconomowoc, and the adult Wildstang band), Chris Hibner, Ernie Pacsai on sound, Brandon Martus, and of course, Dave Scheck, who got heckled and made fun of the whole show.

Highlights for me:
The curtain being pulled the wrong way
'Scheck, hurry it up!'
'I love you, Lars!'
'Mildstang' and 'Childstang'
Paul Copioli carrying Libby out
'Dave... Dave Dave Dave..." "John... John John John..." "Raul... ul ul ul..."

I couldn't have asked for a better show. Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible.

The IRI talent show was a huge success. There was a perfect mix of funny acts (378's "I'm a Little Teapot" - 233's nose bagpipes) and incredible talent. My kids really enjoyed the show, as my 8-year-old daughter was disappointed that there were not more acts.

I truly believe that FIRST Regionals should look at incorporating "talent shows" into Team Parties. Let's give people a stage, a microphone, and some guidelines and see what they come up with.

Also... from what I hear, the score keeping crew is currently working on putting more match results on the IndianaFIRST website.

And, for being a bit backward, it is surprising that the DS&K band has a bunch of pictures from Friday night's show posted on their website.

Huge kudos to all who participated in the show, as it takes guts to not only perform in front of people while running the risk of being moderately heckled by the esteemed judges. Thanks to all of the judges, the excellent m/c, Collin "Wink" Fultz, and especially to Amanda for putting together a swell show along with putting up with all of the behind-the-curtain "antics".

Raul... ul, ul, ul,... ul, ul, ul,... Oli-ver-aaaaaaa. :)

Andy B.

From what I have gathered, there are even more pictures of DS&TKB here.

And some talent show shots here

I'm glad that I could provide some entertainment for the easilly amused ;)

Did anybody happen to video tape the talent show? I (along with others) would be interested in getting a digital copy.
