July 21 and 22

May 1 - Registration begins

We will have a silent auction for a local charity again -
so keep your eyes open for unique FIRST items that you
can donate to such a great cause -

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Awesome...

I am pretty positive that 1501 will be there.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Team 25 will most definitely make the 12 hour venture out to Indy again.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I enjoyed it there very much last year an dwould like to volunteer again. :cool:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Every year I say I will make it to IRI and it never happens. So...consequently...

I will be at IRI unless

1) I'm in Greece or Spain
2) I have some college orientation thing to go to
3) I'm on my deathbed or something

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Awesome! Now I can start making my college tour plans! I don't think my team is planning on attending but I'm almost positive i'll be there.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I will be there, I wouldnt miss it again.

JT

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Awesome!! :D

If I'm not there, I got the MTU Summer Activities Counselor job and am taking kids hiking/teaching/performing skits/etc. ... or dying.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I will be there, with Corey and the robot whether they like it or not.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Ogre and I couldn't go last year because of reason #1. If I have enough money, I'm coming this year. I'll ride over with Bharat and Corey if it gets that deperate ;)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Rumor has it that the NERD's presence will be felt at the 2006 IRI...

Could this be the invasion we have been waiting for?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

can i go ? :p

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Horrible excuses Genia, all of them. ;)

I. Am already. Excited. Because this will not interfere with my trip to Turkey in the least. And as for colleges, well, the way I see it is this: IRI is once per year, college lasts all year. I'm going to have to say that the score for this bad boy is IRI: 1, College: 0.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

If you want to be added to an IRI email distribution, please send your team name, your name and contact email to robotinfo@att.net

Please limit to one contact per team.

We will post info here on CD and the IndianaFIRST web site, but will also email updates to teams that want to get info that way.

:)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Unless there is some sort of freak occurence... I will be there!

I love the fact that it will once again be on my birthday. (Although I was completely mortified when they dragged me onstage at the talent show and sang for me... lol)

I had such an amazing time last year, and I definitely want to do it again. If my team isn't there, I will be sure to volunteer. IRI is one of the best run offseason events I have ever attended.

See you all there!

-- Jaine

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!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

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!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

i will be there
pretty sure 65 will be there too
don't quote me though
i will have graduated so i can go on my own...yes
haha
see every one there
<3

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

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

Wetzel

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

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"

_Alex

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

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.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Doesn't Team 1501 count as a four digit number?
Let's see....1 (first digit)....5 (second digit)....0 (third digit)....1 (fourth digit). Yep, four digits :D
We will be there with bells on. Shoot, bells aren't allowed :rolleyes:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Anyone interested in a little bit of VEX action?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

56 had a great time last year traveling out to Indiana with our good friends on 25 and don't plan on missing the trip this year, we have a new bot, and a BIGGER trailer. PERHAPS! a BIGGER CONVOY of NJ teams. cant wait for IRI 2006!!!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

hmmmmmm .............. ;)
1712 may be in for a big bot, and we've got this Vex stuff (perhaps new recruits for next year...) Kyle, keep me posted on the vex possibilities, I'm going to find out if 1712 is in and how many might be going.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Unfortunately, team 461 also knows what it feels like to come in last at IRI due to tremendous robot malfunction. :( It can be argued that IRI is one of the hardest competitions of the year, even harder than any regional in my opinion (except maybe Ypsilanti or Midwest).

461 will be there again and we'll try and bring our Purdue buddies (1646 and 1747). I look forward to seeing everyone there, especially our faithful sidekick, 1501.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Team 818 hopes to be there this year, with ot without some of our key mentors.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Not the only one - 1718 hopes to make the trip. I went to IRI once when I was with Team 27 a couple years ago and loved it, so I want to take my new team down to experience the fun.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I cant wait for IRI this will our teams first time .Since we have not been to IRI can someone tell me if teams modify their robots and if so how much?

Jim Schaddelee

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

As long as I can get off work, I'll be there! Hopefully at least one of my teams will make the trip as well, and I have a feeling we'll be up for some VEX action too! I had a blast reffing last year and would love to work with the amazing crew again.

Kev

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Just found out I won't be going to IRI. I'm going to Jamacia instead. :(

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

The only time people are sad to be going to Europe or Jamaica.... wow :p

116 (or more specifically FVC 18) might be able to participate in the vex action this year if it happens again. Need to back our growing reputation! :cool:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Oh you can bet there is going to be some Vex action! I guess this can kind of serve as a pre-imptive official un-official announcement of the 2006 Vex "[game is secret for know]" Challenge!

Any team that is interested please e-mail us at 447.FIRST@gmail.com so we can get a rough head count and a feel for who all is going to be there!

If its anything like last year, its going to be a blast! :D

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Yeah, I am looking to possibly attending and helping out and also want to see what all the hype is about of IRI!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

looks like a small group from 233 will be making the long drive again - but so worth it. IRI was one of the best off season events that we've been to. maybe our team will have a better talent than last years "nose pipes"

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

As I understand it, you can do any mods that you want, as long as it conforms to the 2006 FIRST rules, typically there aren't inspections, honor system. But, If someone has a issue with a robot they can be checked, I believe.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I know this is going to seem really strange, but is the registration going to be on the IndianaFIRST website?

Also, what time does registration begin?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Yes, we think so. Either IndianaFIRST.org or CyberBlue 234.com.

Not sure of the exact time yet. Rumor is that it will be in the early evening on 1 May.


Stay tuned. :]

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Will there be a mentor only match? I had a great time trying to put small tetras on top of large tetras :ahh: We posted one of the highest mentor only scores :rolleyes:
I also noticed that there is only one fee this year. Last year there were two fees. One for the arena and one for the gym. Did that change?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

how about we get some NY teams to IRI :p

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Trying to get the team to come, but at least I will be there.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN MAY 8 INSTEAD OF MAY 1, SINCE MOST OF US INVOLVED WITH REGISTRATION WILL BE IN ATLANTA THROUGH APRIL 30.

REGISTRATION WILL BEGIN MAY 8 AND THE FIRST 'TEAM LIST' WILL BE POSTED MAY 15.

WATCH HERE FOR MORE DETAILS DURING THE WEEK OF MAY 1 - MAY 7.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Yes, we are planning a mentor match.

Yes, only one fee. Most pits will be in the auxillary gym with just the hots teams near the playing field (same as 2005).

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Robots have to stay within the FIRST rules. You can modify as long as you are still within the size and weight limitations.

We work on a level of trust and sportsmanship and do not inspect, weigh and size the robots.

BUT... If the referees feel a robot looks too heavy or too big or there is unsafe goings-on-in-there, then they will inspect certain machines.
PS That BAKER guy is head ref, and he as a keen eye .... :)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

If I am able to come up, will I be able to room with someone in Indiana?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

That's true. But hey, even I passed Baker inspection at GTR.

:rolleyes: Actually it was quite stressful to say the least.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

You will need to work that out individually.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

You guys were spectacular. It was an honor to inspect your robot.

Andy

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

We'll be there, along with 1930. Our whole teams wont be there, but we'll be able to compete still

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I am trying to persuade my team (at least a few of them) to make the trip up from Arizona.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Team 217 (The ThunderChickens) looks forward to being there!!!
I can't wait!

Jessica
217

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I was a bit depressed after nationals knowing that there were no more competitions and then I heard that we might go to IRI and I can't wait! As far as I know Team 135 will be there. :yikes:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Can we expect to see the special hotel rates up in the next month?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I can't wait for IRI 2006. I'm currently coming up with something for the talent show, so I'll just put this out now - if anyone knows they are coming to IRI and wants to participate in a... bit of a FIRST rap... PM me or contact me on AIM.

This should be good :rolleyes:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Car pool Conor? We can stop at UD ;)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Hmm.. so.. if I flew in Friday, would there be hotels nearby, and how the heck would I get to the comp?? Is it close to an airport or anything?

I'm thinking of finally going. I was told I have to actually..

But.. where would I stay, and how would I get there.. lol

I'm not looking to mooch rides, or places to stay (although that would be fun I'm sure. lol), I just never paid attention to any of the people asking this in previous years and want to know.

Maybe tomorrow at lunch time during work, I'll look at old IRI threads for ideas..

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

hmm... I think I might be coming up with something for the talent show too. I think I am going to put my singing skills to work this year, instead of chickening out like I did last year.

I hope to sing something a cappella, but is anyone out there willing to play a beginning chord for me (so I can sing the rest of the song in the correct key) on any sort of instrument (preferably guitar)?

I am hoping to volunteer there again this year. I also want to travel there by myself this time (my team probably can't go), and I am looking to perhaps share a room with people I know already... so if any of my friends are going, I might be joining you (if my parents will let me, of course). :)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

As far as getting to the competition site, there are usually people from the Indy area who will be more than willing to give you a ride. A lot of times, people's flights come in pretty close too so picking a few people up from the airport isn't uncommon.

In terms of places to stay, there are hotels right down the street from the school.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

The airport is on the west side of Indy, and the competition is on the northeast side. not a bad drive, but too far to walk. :)

There are hotels nearby, and several offer IRI Rates (petty cool, huh).

We will post the hotels and rates as soon as we have them. I think there were three that offered deals last year.

As for transportation, it is an expensive cab ride, but you could probably work out for someone to give you a ride from the airport, or get a small group together and rent a car. We are usually done by 5 PM on Saturday, so a return flight at 8 - 9 PM or on Sunday morning would be best.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Yay! Hackmood! we gonna be at IRI!! YAY! HOORAY!

[SIZE]=1]xxx[/size]go 135

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Any information yet on how we're going to sign up on the 9th??? (yes, I know, I'm anxious, it's better than studying for finals...)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

when does voulinteer registration begin?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

All I know is that team 818 will be attending this year!
I hope to meet everyone there!
I'll probably be wearing those tinted glasses that I wore in Palmetto.

Tomasz Bania

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I double that question and add another, when does team registration open and is it open to all teams?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

There will be an info letter sent to teams that have previously attended or sent us contact info. The same info will also be posted here at the same time. It should be here Friday (5th).

The letter gives the details, but here are some highlights.

We have space for about 60 - 70 teams. Registration starts Monday the 8th,
and will be on team 234's web site. There will be links from here on CD. The web site is www.cyberblue234.com.

Indiana teams and returning teams get first priority, then we try to get a mix of newer teams and veteran teams and different parts of the country (or the world, depending on who registers). That is why we will not post a team list until the 15th. In past years, we have been able to accept all teams that have wanted to attend, but last year we were very close to the limit.

Volunteers will sign up through an email address and the info posted tomorrow will tell what the address is and what detail to include. We try to keep it simple.

The posting will also include info on scholarships, the talent show and the auction.

We have hotels with special deals and should have that info in a few days, also.

Hopefully this covers all the recent questions.

Watch for more info in the next few days. :)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

um, i would love to regester, but im not sure if i will be coming, i'll try to convince my team, is there a video or something like that avalable.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

IRI 2006 TEAM UPDATE #1
MAY 1, 2006

Teams,

Registration for the 2006 IRI will open on Monday, May 8, 2006, at Noon.
Registration will be through Team 234’s website – www.cyberblue234.com.

The 2006 IRI is July 21 and 22, 2006

The first listing of registered teams will be on May 15. This will give us time to sort all of the entries and be sure we have the information correct. INDIANA teams have first priority in registration and are guaranteed an entry as long as they register by Friday May 12. If the team list is too long, we will create a waiting list and post it.

The 2006 IRI location is Lawrence North High School, the same location as 2005.

Entry Fee for all FIRST Robotics teams is $350 plus a filled backpack for a 2nd grade student. The items for the backpack are listed below. The entry fee for VEX Teams is $50. While not required, VEX teams are also encouraged to bring a backpack for a 2nd grader.

The entry fees must be paid by June 15 or the team will be removed from the registered list and placed at the end of the waiting list. Any team that has not paid their entry fee by July 1 will be removed from the listing and considered ‘withdrawn’. This has to be done so that we know how many teams to plan for food, pit space and match listings. Please understand this and help us out. If you have a special situation regarding the registration fee it must be agreed through Chris Fultz (robotinfo@att.net)

The event includes Friday night dinner for all team members and active mentors.
You will need to indicate how many dinner tickets you need and include $1 per person for dinner tickets. It is only $1 but helps us get a better idea on how to plan for food.

Please do not plan to come in on Thursday night (July 20) and set up your pit and work on your robot. Thursday night is for field and pit set up and we need to be able to get this done without teams there working. Doors will open at 7 AM on Friday July 21 for all teams.

The 2006 IRI Plans Currently Include:

* Exciting “AIM HIGH” Action on the playing field.
* The traditional “Mentors Only” round.
* Friday Night Dinner & Saturday Morning Donuts, Milk and Juice
* Silent Auction For Charity (we already have some AWESOME items!)
* DODGE BALL TOURNAMENT on Friday Night
* The Annual Talent Show
* Dean Simmons and the Kamens World Tour (We are Stop #6)
* A NEW GAME VEX Tournament – Details announced before June 1.
* The Battle of the MC’s
* SCHOLARSHIPS!
* Traditional FIRST Awards and some unique IRI Awards

Keep an eye on Chief Delphi and IndianaFIRST for updates.

Planning Team: Chris Fultz (234), Andy Baker (45), Libby Ritchie (393)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

116 is excited to make the trip out to Indianapolis again, it was a blast last year (despite our bot getting soaked and coming in last place)! Hopefully we can organize an act in the talent show this year as well. FVC 18 might be able to make the trip too, just need to see if we have the support to bring enough people who want to work with Vex (alot of the Vex kids are looking forward to working with the FRC bot over the summer).

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Well it looks like Irrational is sending 229 a message. She's been in Indianapolis since May 4th and hasn't left yet. I'm thinking she wants me to have another go at getting all of 229 there. But at the moment that is looking like a no from our teachers. But have no fears, I am positive i will be there this year. (No Driver education to stop me.)

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

IRI registration is open.

www.cyberblue234.com

follow the IRI link.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

269 is in. Apparently it is noon in Indiana already! ;)

Can't miss out on some Indiana fun.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

48 is in. I thought this was going to start at noon! Good thing I checked CD this morning!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

1504 is signed up, let the fundraising begin!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Team 1732 is in (I hope!). We filled out and submitted the registration form, but I'm a little nervous, as we haven't recieved any confirmation email back, or a web page response saying something to the effect that "we got your registration info". Has anyone else got a response/confirmation? We're really looking forward to seeing everyone at IRI!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

We haven't received anything. I wouldn't worry.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!

Email resonses will be sent out tonight. Remember, signing up does not "guarentee" you are in the IRI, it only "reserves" your spot like how FIRST does during the regular season.


We will make changes to the site to confirm that you have submitted your information. I guess we missed that. :eek:

1712 is in.

Chris,

I called the Hilton today to make a reservation from Thursday Night to Sunday and they said there is no record of the Indiana Robotics Invitational Rate in their system. They went ahead and gave me the rate anyway, but I think you better call and check with them to make sure this is properly in place so nobody else goes through the same trouble.

[quote=Ricky Q.]269 is in. Apparently it is noon in Indiana already! ;) /QUOTE]

We're still trying to figure out this daylight savings time thing, and keep setting our watches back an hour every sunday morning at 2 AM.

How many times do we reset our clocks, anyway?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

The contract was just sent back Friday night, so they may not be fully in place yet.

[quote=Chris Fultz]Doesn't it depend on the current population of pigs and output of corn going on at the time?

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

I registered 931. If there's room for us in the field, it will be our first time at IRI. :)

From this thread it sure seems like a lot of great teams will be there!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

It would be cool if volunteers could get a conformation e-mail letting us know you guys got our information.

If it's not too much trouble :]

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

FYI: The 'volunteer' link up top works, but the image on the main IRI page does not.

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

No, I broke it. I got the same message you did, a little while ago. :confused:

Re: 2006 IRI - Mark Your Calendars!
 

Oh darn, I think I broke it too, cause I just got the same message 5 mins ago. =)

... I guess chris doesn't want us as a volunteer. =(
