We still have openings for the IRI!! We have 8 free right now, but a couple more may open up later. The list above is the most current list. If you look at the list of the teams, there are some VERY impressive teams coming. This list even rivals some of the regionals for this season. This is going to be an exciting event.

Team 469 studet needs ride from purdue to iri
Team 469 has a student who is attending Purdue this summer and in the fall. He wants to join our team at IRI but could really use a ride home fromt eh competition and possibly to the competition as well.
Is there anyone from that area who would be willing to drive him? You can respond to me directly at gsalp@aol.com. Our team would be eternally grateful! Thanks. Gail |
Hmm...
Maybe if David Kelly reads this he can email the question to the person from 461 (Purdue team), and the former 469 student can tag along with them....
|
173?
our team has talked about it a little. WE have students willing to go, but we need transportation and a chaparone. Don't count us in just yet though
|
just to keep everyone up to date, Wildstang team # 111 has registered for the IRI :cool:
|
Rumored MC?
Hey I was leaked a rumor that Dr Joe was going to be the guest MC at IRI?!! Is this true?!
|
i've heard that too! :D anyone want to confirm? Dr. Joe?
or maybe you'll have to just wait and see. |
I heard...
I think i also heard the same today from a very reliable source (although he could have been lying to me)...
I thought it was sweet just having 47 come (long live the ball bots!), but now if Joe Johnson is the MC it will be really awesome... |
How reliable does that make your source, then? ;)
Anyways, Dr. Joe as a guest M.C. would be really cool (hint hint :D). |
better get more TechnoPig...
It's true, 111 will be there. Andy, you'd better get another pig from the farm, we like our BBQ pork and lots of it.
The list of teams keeps getting better and better, now all we need is team 60 :) It's gonna be a blast. Mike |

LOL - Like I said, if we don't I'm hijacking the 'bot in the back of my Neon and am driving down to Indianapolis :D |
what would the reason be for team 93 not coming?

Don't worry about it - I'm sure we'll be there! There were just some issues about who from our team will be available to go. With 35 people, though, I'm sure we can find 10 to go! See you there! :) - Katie |
IRI '02... the place to be~
The 3rd annual "Indiana Robotics Invitational" is just around the corner, and the locals here in the Hoosier Heartland are getting pretty antsy.
We've got 25 teams coming in to compete, with room for 7 more. These teams will be competing in one of the best gyms in central Indiana! The pits will be around the field, just like the first two IRIs. This year's IRI is a two day event... that means teams will get a slew of Q matches to fight it out for their first seed. But, as a first seed... who do you pick? Have you seen the list of teams competing? Hmm... 71, 469, and 308 were three of the four "first picks" at the championships... that would be a tough decision. Also... we're gonna have a good time. On Friday evening, after we play a few qualification rounds, we get to eat some of that yummy "TechnoPig" while having fun at our own IRI team party. Speaking of a good time, it will be fun to see friendly faces "working the field" at the IRI. First of all, the one and only Dr. Joe is our our M/C. You may also recognize Crazy Nate Smith behind the scorer's table, so we know that all will go smoothly. Also, we will have an elite panel of judges who will be deciding on 10 awards for the competing teams. Then there are the referees... and they're tough :). I'm the head ref, and the rest of the crew will be made up of 1 fellow TechnoKat, 2 CyberBlue engineers and one notoriously tough ref from the Beach Bots (thanks, Sean Roberts!). We will call the game just like FIRST refs call it at the Championships, so make sure that you re-read FIRST's Update #8. So, 25 teams are getting all of this... the competition, the fun, and the excitement. We could use more teams to make this competition even better. If any team is interested in coming, check out the CyberBlue website and sign up... if you dare! CyberBlue website for IRI details Andy B. |
team 93
we will be there one way or another. but the reason jnadke posted that we might not is believe it or not there is not enough interest on our team. i know sounds unreal. dont worry though there r a few of us that will find a way to be there no matter what. see u all down there. good luck.
Christi P.S. i cant wait. |
I think right now we're up to 6 or 7 people... but looks like it'll be slowing down...
Heh... I just thought it was pathetic that only 3 people on the team could go when the question was asked at the last team meeting... but, looks like we'll be going... |
93 going...
Our buddies to the north just can't let us be the only WI teams going, I'm sure they'll come through :D
|
Expect a few New Things...
With my spare time(what little bit I have left,) I've been adding new features to the scoring software which will make their debut at this year's IRI. Currently completed or in the works:
-Notification on the match results screen if the high score has been tied or beaten. -An updated alliance selection display, not only showing the teams selected and still available, but also who they will be competing against in the first round. -A "ticker-tape" display on the pit monitor, showing various event statistics(high score, rounds remaining, schedule reminders, etc.) -802.11b access available to custom event information system(instant rankings, match schedules, etc). (SSID if available: iri_net) I may not know for sure until I set up and test on site at the IRI which of these features we will be using. More information will be coming as the event gets closer. DISCLAIMER: Some features, including the public 802.11b access, will only be available bandwidth-permitting on our wireless network. Due to the nature of the event, stress testing of the network will not occur until setup on the Friday morning of the event. Therefore, it will not be possible to provide advance notice as to whether or not this feature will be available. |
TOBOR WILL BE THERE
I JUST GOT AN E-MAIL FROM OUR ADVISOR AND HE SAID THAT WE WILL BE GOING TO IRI NO MATTER WHAT. JEREMYS STATMENT WAS INCORRECT BUT THIS IS. I JUST WISH I COULD GO.
|
Heh... I was just going off what someone else said... when they were going around asking... they said he needed enough interest or we wouldn't be going... oh well...
Good thing that we're definately going! |
Just to spark some conversation.....
When do all the teams start arriving in Indy for IRI? the night before? same day?...just wondering... (oh by the way....which hotels are u staying at so i know which ones to avoid so i can get some sleep...hehe) |
Actually, I should correct my earlier statement...
A lot of people showed interest... except they couldn't because most have summer jobs... and our teacher wanted to leave on Thursday and not come back until Sunday... Well... 2 days is hard to miss for work... |
Well, we are leaving good old Oconomowoc around 8 Fri Morning for an approx 2PM arrival/power nap at the Omni Orrington...Look Out :p
|
I think we're leaving early Friday too. No idea about the hotel though.
|
Omni...
Looks like i might be staying at the Omni too.....not quite sure yet though...
Actually i dont even really have to stay at a hotel but i'm to lazy to drive back and forth to Indy 6 times (i have to help set up on Thurs.) I also checked out a map of Indy to see exactly where Lawerance North HS was and its pretty close to the Omni and a pretty decent mall. :) |
the omni is really close and its a really nice hotel, from what i have heard. omni's are some of the nicest hotels in the city. im thinking about staying there. im not up for driving back and forth all the time. we'll see...
|
We are leaving early Friday and staying at the Fairfield Inn about 5 mins from the competition.
|
A question to the IRI organizers; What time will we resume Saturday? Thanks...

Well I am happy to say that I am not the only girl going from my team. There will be two other going, too bad the other 4 could not go. I am really excited about going, and watch out for me, I am one of the human players for my team 269. See you all soon, Katie |
Im coaching!
Hey Im the field coach at IRI since Baker is the head ref...anyone interested in buying a "Gift Basket" for the referees? :D j/k
So lookout cause if your partnered with us you have to deal with me... yah i know you guys are so thrilled.. This is going to be great! See you all there! |
Re: Im coaching!

It'll be awesome! |
You better watch out with Baker as the head ref. He threw more flags in SoCal than all the other refs combined......

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! :) Andy B. |
Dont worry, I wont do anything you wouldn't do... :) :cool:

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 |

*throws a flag at mike*
|
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

Web Interface Preview
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!

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...

195?
A question to all, was a the Max QP (without a DQ) a team could get this year of 195 ever hit at a regional/championship? If not I think it could be done at IRI with the right combination:
Red- 1 Goal 35 Balls 2 Robots Blue- 2 Goals 25 Balls 2 Robots [edit] Final Score 65-65 Red would get the win with 195 QP [/edit] This would require every ball on the field to be placed into a goal and all robots to get/tether back, could be a challenge but it'd be awesome to watch.... |
I think so
Thats gotta be it cause thats exactly half the points for each alliance. But im not sure which team would get the win. O yeah MMR Alt Finals will be AWESOME. 93 and 269 will prevail!!!

New IRI Registration!
We have a new team registered for the IRI. It is team 382 - Twisted Blizzard - from Columbus, Ohio. Nice of you guys to join us! :cool:
That makes the list to 27 teams :) |
our 28th team is now in. RAGE Robotics has registered!!
IRI is 2 weeks from today!:cool: :D |
Sweet......
Wow
I thought IRI registration was pretty much dead, guess not. Maybe we can get to the number of teams everyone had originally talked about. Hopefully none of this messes up the amount of matches that we are having or the way the finals are going to be played out, oh well i though...the more the better :) |
Oh my, it just keeps getting better, competition will be fierce :D
|
OO this is really getting good
|
I need people to start coming up with reasond why my parents should let me go to IRI. I'd be coming with RAGE, which is a long drive. Their reasons for not allowing me to go are:
1) I haven't worked enough because of my arm. I was out for awhile while my arm was healing. I'm taking like four days off for a wedding in august. And thats the only reason i remember cause i was too pissed of at them when they said i couldn't go. I need some good counterrpoints before i try to change their minds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Bargins!!
The first thing i would try is to make as many bargins as u can. Tell them you will go above the call of duty to do whatever once you get back from IRI, but make sure you keep up your end of the deal. You can try telling them it's a "once" in a lifetime chance, especially this year since you are national champs. You could try telling them by going it could possibly help out in the long term by meeting people in the "industry" (possible jobs?), maybe try to get business cards, etc. to show your parents...
(Are your parents looking?) You could lie and say that if u dont go the whole team suffers...;) (dont know how well that would work, maybe you've already tried it) Hopefully all goes well so all of us over here can see the true RAGE team. Too bad i dont have the money to next day Fed Ex you a ladder so you can get yourself out of the hole you've seemed to dig... |
Places to stay...
Where is everyone staying? The 12 of us from 93 will be staying at Candlewood Suites...
- Katie |
I'm going to be at Candlewood on Friday night...
|
OMNI
I'll be at the OMNI friday night....

I have held off replying to this because I was partying at Summerfest, so I guess I'll have to agree to this party in my room as long as: 1) Everyone is a Brewers Fan 2) Cheese is given to me 3) Mt Dew Bowling Occurs Its all I ask :D |
When good threads go bad....
Since we are just under 2 weeks away from IRI, does anyone wanna through out guesses about maybe who they think will be...
#1 seed? Finals Alliances? EDIT: Opps..looks like i forgot to mention that the top 6 seeding teams cannot pick each other in the finals. (I dont know if everyone already knew this). |
