DJ,

You better not step out of the box, throw a ball onto the playing field or touch the controls... I would LOVE to throw the flag on team 45! Also, those metal cleats better be smooth and not tear up our carpet!

With regard to how closely things will be called on the field, I'll probably be tougher on calling penalties on team 45 than anyone else. Sure, my intention and the intentions of the other referees would be to treat all teams the same, but it's only natural to be more critical of your own team when in this situation.

So... be on your best behavior, DJ!

Dont worry, I wont do anything you wouldn't do... :) :cool:

Why does that make me worried?

Man, i was expecting IRI just to be fun....now i may also be funny....:D


Well, last night while making an IRI delivery from Kokomo to Indy i saw the gym that IRI is being hosted in this year. If any teams remember last years gym it's similar in size, may even be bigger than our gym with all the seats down...

22 days and counting

I remember that, I was cheering him on and asking for more flags. We don't have to worry about you throwing flags Sean, it's tough to throw them when you don't have any :D

So, how exactly does the alliance pairing work if only 6 teams pick? Do the top two teams get a first-round bye? Or is it done some other way?

Here's the way it's going to be done:

#1 & #2 seed get a first round bye....

#3 plays #6 (as normal)

#4 plays #5 (as normal)

Basically, there's going to be placeholder teams inserted for the #7 and #8 alliances, and #1 & #2 will be given the wins...

you may want to let someone else add up the scores. Sean can't count :-p

The nice thing is that nobody has to add up the scores....the computer does that part....if Sean can count, he'll be fine ;)

Rides for IRI
 

hey, my name is Raj, I am on team 469 Las Guerrillas from Michigan. right now I am at Purdue University for the summer and I was wondering if someone from the Purdue team could possible help me out with a ride to IRI. I would really appreciate it. Please contact me at R2K2D2@aol.com or rdaftuar@purdue.edu. Thanks again. --Raj

For those of you whose interest was piqued when I mentioned the possibility of an 802.11b WLAN at the IRI which would allow you to get up-to-date information on team standings and match results, a preview is now available. You can go here to view the current team list(at least the newest that I have), and then use the links at the top of the page to view the rest of the system. Note that the "Team Summary" page is not yet in place, and a 404 error will occur if you try and access it. Feel free to post your comments below...

Great Job Nate!!! I'll have to steal a laptop w/ a Wireless LAN card to take advantage of this....Keep it up!

Horray for Coldfusion! If you'd like to borrow SOAP's cfm code for match results and ranking you're welcome to it.

KA-108

Thanks for the offer, but I've already got everything written for that...the team summary is the most ambitious code of the whole project, and I haven't quite gathered up the courage to dive into that just yet...
