Florida Teams need to start thinking about a bus to Indiana this summer!

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

...and indy teams need to start thinking about what teams to have over to those awesome IRI cookouts/parties...

If I remember right we had 1038 over the past two years (don't remember very well from '06) but I don't believe theyre comming to IRI this year.

Hmmm...

If we get accepted then we would hitch a ride with you guys.

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

I think the kids would string me up if we didn't go.

They are already asking me about it. So we will be there, as long as we get accepted.

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Sounds like Florida is gonna be sending up some heat this year. That is if those Midwest teams don't get scared and not accept us. :yikes: (jk)

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Krunch and Bacon together?! For around 15 hours! I think Coach would go crazy! But for us, it would be a blast!

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Krunchy Swap Bacon that is PINK....with some tigers thrown in....now THAT would be a fun bus ride!!!

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Is it even possible to have that much fun!?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

man, we love IRI... I think they also factor in previous winners to the worthiness to come.

just a tip, lay off the horn on Albert this year, that got aggravating in the pits

might be an interesting time coming down this year if we get accepted (hope we do), then again the students had to foot the bill last year and we went without our team leader(he went on a motorcycle trip to alaska with his wife, that made her happy considering she almost never sees him during the build season). was a fun supprise for him when we won! (thanks 67 for picking us :D (i would also thank the other teams on our allience but i cant remember their #'s (sorry)))

oh and the other teams afraid of us Midwest teams, im gonna agree with lenny8 and say that you should show us up!

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Well, I can definitely say we're crossing our fingers for a good showing at Grand Valley. As Looking Forward said, we're right on the bubble, and that's a scary place to be. Maybe a regional win and a good showing at Michigan Champs will get us invited to IRI :P

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

All you need is some sharks to stir up the waters!!:D But wouldn't a bus ride to Indiana take more like 30 hours? Jacksonville is like 7 hours, right?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

ya, considering it takes us a goodly amount of time to get there from Pontiac, florida would be murder... bus ride would be fun though...

definitely worth it though!:cool:

1501 likes cookouts Q! lol, we'll bring our magic carpet if you bring your safety cone!!! (i have to put the magic carpet back together again though, it was demolished during prototype week!:eek: )

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

According to Google maps it is a little over 17 hrs to the school from West Palm Beach Fl. Its only 1150 miles :p (Google may be a little optimistic though)

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

1150 (Which can be rearranged to spell 1501! WOOT!!!) miles divided by an average of say 60 mph equals a ~19.1666666666666... hr ride
