This message is for any mentors, volunteers, or chaperoned students that may be traveling to IRI from Eastern PA, NJ, NY, MD or DE.

Teams 341 and 365 are sharing a 47 passenger coach bus to IRI and we have about 5 or 6 seats left. If you want to join us, the cost is about $85 round trip. The bus will leave on July 30th at 5 AM from Ambler, PA and return by the early evening on August 2nd. (Ambler is about 30 minutes north of Philadelphia)

If you are interested, please send me a PM.

Thanks!

I assume that for those who are taking the bus that there is a place where you can leave your car?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Any word on volunteer assignments yet?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Brand new FRP? or used

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

We will be using used regolith.

AB

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Shouldn't that be "previously owned" regolith? Marketing is everything.

Which reminds me, I saw an ad in the paper last week for a "used art sale". Isn't all art essentially used? :confused: You wanna buy my used Rembrandt? :p

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Personally, used regolith sounds much more attractive than pre-owned to me. Much stickier.

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

Any info on webcast? Any chance talent show would be webcast too?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

So, IRI is coming up fast and I had a question about what teams do for pits at IRI.

Is it normal for teams to bring there full get up (banners and all) or just the necessities. Also is it normal for teams to get a full 10x10 space?

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

We have a compact pit that we usually bring. We do usually take the entire 10x10 (or whatever they give us) pit, but we have a lot of people that like to be in the pit. We had a different pit that we could take on a bus for Atlanta purposes and that was the one that we would usually bring. We have a new pit this year that goes everywhere with us, so I am thinking that we will take our "new" normal pit. Banner and all of that, we have in the past to show off our sponsors. It is all up to the students on what they want to bring and what they think they will need, with a little guidance of course. Bring what you will need, if you have room bring what ever you want.

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

We usually do a minimal pit for IRI. It's hard to do a complete pit set up and get the robot ready and in line for the short practice time avaliable.

Also it's nice not to worry about a long pack up time.

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
 

A bit offtopic at the moment. But 2081 just got news that we have an invite because a team dropped and we were on the waiting list. As of tomorrow, we will be kicking it into high gear trying to get ready and seeing if we can pull off going to a competition after a while of inactivity, wish us luck:)
