Thanks first of all to Paul Copioli and the rest of the Thunderchickens for the hospitality. Thanks to the IRI planning committee and all the volunteers. Thanks also to 910, for some great matches both with and against you guys, and for helping us pack for the 2nd year in a row.

We were very happy to get the chance to play with both 67 and 987 again. Both are among the best robots this year.

1024, 1625, and 1126 were an awesome alliance, having the highest scoring average of any of the elimination alliances. 3 awesome shooters! It was very intimidating going against the home crowd.
And thank you to 330 (and 968) for letting me hang out/work with your team for the event. It was a great time.

Ok, guys - I'm just going to ask this, no matter how silly it is.

I know I heard 'WALL•E' as one of the sound effects. What was it used for? It was awesome. :)

IRI was so much fun! This year was my first year attending, and I must say that it will not be my last. It was such a pleasure to attend and the competition was awesome! Thanks to all of the volunteers for making it a great event! Also, thank you to the video people who got the videos up to Soap and TBA so quickly.

Most importantly, it was great to meet some people that I have only talk to on CD. I met JVN, Joe Ross, Alex(Qbranch), and Paul Copioli to name a few. Everyone was awesome, and thank you for a great event!

Crates were picked up Monday and should be on their way...call BAX Global at 317-856-1222 and ask for their domestic division to get a tracking number...they will call you when the bot gets closer to your town to give you an idea of delivery time...

Here is albert doing his tricks. These videos were taken before he had the car horn. Also if anybody wants to build their own "Albert the road barrel" all you need is a road barrel, a 12 volt battery, a couple of sims, a control system of some sort, a turnsignal from an old car, and a car horn out of a 1993 Grand Marquis LS, and any other add ons you think necessary. and thats what you need to make ur own Road Barrel. if you have any questions or suggestions let me know

Quick search on SouthWest rings up $99 Flights on wednesday's and $176 on Sunday. I believe it was like $250-$300 when we flew out there. There are some low airline fairs out of vegas on spirit and southwest. Not sure how group rates are. I'm not saying but I'm just saying.

It was during qf1 m2 and starts around 1:50. They had no other audio being played during this time so I guess they played it becuase everyone knows Wall-E is awsome.

For more Albert the Road Barrel antics, check out this video we made. Some of our students were lucky to get away with our lives.

Thanks team 1024 for entertaining us.
