Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO!
But with the fact that my parents laid out $6000 for a new car this year,
(yes, the teal station wagon finally died!)
and the fact that I have to pay them back...
I'm not sure I'll make it!

But I'll fundraise if I have to XD
I'm trying to convince 1089 to go anyway!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Do I even need to answer this question? I will anyway. Yes, I am going! I will try to never miss it the rest of my life. For those of you who have never been, it is bigger then almost every regional. The teams are all "legends" in their own rights. Every match is high intensity and has a certain feel that can not even be described. It is also fun afterwords. There is normally a talent show and a dinner before it on Friday night, maybe a concert by some crazy people. Hopefully, we can get some dodgeball in this year. But, to any of you considering coming. Come! It will be the most fun you have ever had!

I absolutely loved IRI last year... definitely going to try to make the trip again.... maybe will be 25's pit girl again... we'll see...
Tons of awesome memories from IRI 2005... shaving cream, bawls, ice buckets, glow stick balls, stake and shake, **** wagon, toy bow and arrows and swords, blow up alligators, hotel pool, laser tag, no sleep... just way too much fun. Hope we can get last year's group together for lots more fun! :) See you all there!

Hopefully at least 1 martian team will be able to attend and if not i might just swing by as part of the family vacation.(I met the team there last year :p )

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Plan on seeing the CyberCards there - we'll be easy to spot since we're probably the only team with a 4-digit number....

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Henry and I have to make our final trip out there. I'll make sure 222 goes. :D Always have a blast at IRI!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I'm going to IRI to see what a small regional is like. I've only been to one regional that was smaller then IRI. :rolleyes:

I've marked my calander and will NOT be in NY this year. :D

If all goes well, I will be there along with the rest of 469, waiting for that week-long party condensed into two days.

Anyone have any plans on where they're going to be staying yet? (I know it's early, but it can't hurt to ask) I always think the hotel is more entertaining when there's some other teams there too! Especially during breakfast: "I had no idea your team was even in Indiana! I talked to you in your pits yesterday? Ohh... I remember now"

We will get some hotel deals set up again this year.

The hotels love FIRST and having the teams stay!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Sweet. I plan to be there for my 3rd year. Maybe this year 1002 will actually make it up with me.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I hope Team 461 is coming. I really liked you guys at BMR this year! Maybe we can pair up the first "three" matches again at IRI and relive the experience! ;-)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

This is sounding interesting. Usually our team doesn’t do anything off season, but last year we started to venture out during off season (mainly because I planned it). But if its not too extraneously far away (Indiana isn't that far for us) then we would most likely go. Would be a good opportunity to show new students what FIRST is all about. Looks like another event for the off season for us!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I'm definately working to make sure 116 returns for our second go around (and hopefully not get rained on and get last place this time around), and if we don't I'll try to come anyway! :D
It was awesome last year! Thanks again for all of you who helped to dry off our robot :p !

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

After hearing from Ed about IRI on the way to GTR this year, I defiantly want to volunteer.
