Where can we find the list of teams that have signed up? I'm anxious to find out who's going.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

The first listing will be posted next Monday (May 15).

If you cannot get thru on the volunteer email, PM me.

Yes, I will send an email to volunteers, but it may be a few days.

Right now Ryan and Tytus and Marian have come thru.
And if anyone could break the internet, I would put my money on Tytus....

Team 1305 is registered and can't wait to go. Hopefully your robot wouldn't hit another hurricane/tornado.

Can’t wait! This is definitely is my favorite off-season event. From the looks of it, it’s going to be bigger than last year. All I can say is I cant wait! :cool:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

ANy tentative schedule out yet??

As in, not just what happens, but when or at least what day they happen??

What goes on Friday as opposed to Saturday?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

For IRI newbies like Elgin...

Thursday from 1:00-7:00 field setup & socializing

Thursday evening, various informal activities take place, ranging from pit setup groups gathering for dinner to band practice.

Some teams arrive Thursday night, and bring in their stuff

Friday morning (really early) a local television spot is usually made
Teams arrive Friday in the morning, set up their stuff, and start running practice matches

Before noon on Friday, Q matches begin

Q matches last until around 6 or 7, and then there is a meal

After the meal on Friday, a talent show will take place

After the talent show, the DS&K band will see what they can pull off this year

Saturday morning, there will be some consumption of donuts and drink

Saturday will continue, and end up much like a Saturday during a FIRST Regional

Also, there will be a 1 hour dodge ball competition (or an exhibition of special matches?? - we shall see) on Saturday

Essentially, Mr. Clock, it is a downright great time. Show up Thursday evening for the full effect. The above schedule is rough for a purpose... it will be set more accurately within a few weeks.

Just a note, the IRI document and website say that teams cannot come in on Thursday night.

Just looking for a clarification or a final ruling on this for planning purposes.

It is nice to unload Thursday and save some time Friday morning, but if you don't want us in there, nothing we can do.
