Re: Wait list teams.

The suspense is killing us. Any news on when the hounds will be released???

I'm sorry to say that 148 has decided to pull out. I'll be watching from the sidelines again this year. Hopefully we'll get the chance to play with all our friends again sometime in 2009.

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

I'm going a little off topic (which may make me later make a new thread)... but I was wondering about hotels. We went to IRI in both 2005 and 2006 and missed the registration last year. Anyway, we stayed in some suite in 2005 that I really liked. It had 2 bedrooms, and a living area with a fold out bed in the couch and a good kitchenette. I have no idea what this place was called, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I've searched hotels and suites in the area and have not found anything that seems to match. Also, this isn't the same school as 2006 is it?

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Yes, it's still Lawrence North High School.

The Super 8 (Castleton, across E. 82nd from the Hilton) has some rooms that are queen suites with 2 queen beds, pullout sofa, and kitchenette. Candlewood Suites is still there on the other side of the interstate and has similar arrangements but is typically more expensive.

Ok so... I spent about 10 minutes looking and couldn't find out where to volunteer, I may have just missed it, as I do that quite often but can someone help me out? I'd like to help out this year.

Here are the hotels in the close proximity. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=e...7&z=14&iwloc=A

Lessee, what can we find for Dan to do? Maybe he can be the official gofer for Wendy, Jane and Cynette.

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

I love how easy it is to navigate the IRI website.

If you look at the buttons at the top, 'Volunteer' is 3rd from the right. That should help.

Also note the 'pages' on the right side, those are just so cool.

We get gofers?! :yikes:

I kid, I kid....

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

I thought we were the gofers!?! :D

What is even more silly is that I haven't actually said I'm coming! I guess I better hurry and decide!

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Gofers can have their own gofers, applying a well-known principle of behavior in hierarchies:

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ’em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
-- De Morgan: A Budget of Paradoxes, p. 377.

Just substitute 'gofers' for 'fleas' and the concept is clear enough. ;)

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Are there whiney fleas? I mean, gofers?
I whine. The flea would quit. I mean, gofer.

Ad infinitum in paradox ..
