Dave has made the trip but we've yet to see Dean or Woodie come out to IRI.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Thats not an actual Krispy Kreme store. That may be at a gas station or grocery store. The only Krispy Kreme store left in the city of Indianapolis is on the South Side, two miles from my house!!

You can't compare fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts from their retail store vs. some at a grocery store or gas station. Dave only eats the best!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Ah, up here, the closest stores are in Troy and Allen Park. That's about 30 miles each from my house.
Anyway, off-topic.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Ok, so I probably am just not seeing this, but you've posted that it will be in the "same location as last year", unfortunately we didn't go last year and don't know what that location is. Does anyone have access to that address? Thanks!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Thanks for this, we need to put this location on the www.cyberblue234.com site.

Location:
Lawrence North High School
7802 Hague Road
Indianapolis, IN 46256

Lawrence North HS webpage

Google map location of LNHS

Hope that helps.

Will there be lunch provided for a fee at the event this year?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

There is a dinner provided for attending teams on Friday night, but no free lunch (except for volunteers). Team 1024 runs a concession stand that provides food during the day.

Kind've a technical question...

Where are the balls coming from? The red/blue balls from nationals, or brand new balls of all assortments right from Poof?

Thanks.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

We're buying a bunch of new balls from Poof. This "bunch" should be enough for the full event (120 if I recall what Chris said about a week ago).

Also, depending on how many of these new balls get tore up, our backup balls are from the host teams.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

From what I've found working at 3 competitions (1 field reset & 2 reffing), having 140 (not including spares) works best. That way, you can have the 6 robots fully load up the 60 balls while they're cuing without stealing balls from the field. This alone can shave off a minute or two from each match's setup time.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Sorry if this has been said or already asked, I searched.

Can you tell us some of the things that will be included in the silent auction?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

We will get a thread going on the auction items, but a few if the items are:

2 tickets to the 2006 Nascar race at the Brickyard

A supersized FIRST shirt quilt

A signed game ball from the winning alliance at the Isreal Regional

T shirts from the winning alliance at the Isreal Regional

and a raffle for VEX kits

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Last night, my dad gave the official "okay" that I can go! YAY!

look for me in a 25 shirt! :D :D :D

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Matches are over for Friday, rankings problems are being worked on. Look for them soon.
