Haha, Dave will have to put up some more money then if he really wants to keep the serpentine draft. I like the thought of auctioning off votes for rules, IRI Charity would make a killing I suspect. Another rule to bid on....G14. I can't wait to finally go to IRI and have another chance to meet such great people in FIRST.

I'm a sucker for supply and demand, so how about adding the twelfth and final slot in the tournament to the silent auction? Depending on the timing of the tournament, it might be the fairest way to settle the matter across those too slow to pass the hat around their mentors.

I don't think G14 will make a lot of money. I'll put down $1 on removing it and I'll wager a hundy that will be all it will take...

4 Team Elimination Alliances,
The Elimination Alliances can mix and match Robots and Payload Specialists
I want to make sure I understand this correctly. Let's say team 100, 200, 300, and 400 are on an alliance. You can put team 100, 200, and 300 on the field with their robots, but substitute team 300's payload specialist for team 400's?

That's how I'm interpreting it. I can't imagine what else it would mean.

Yes

And as an extra incentive, the 4 team winning alliance will receive an automatic invite and waived entry fee to the 2010 IRI.

~This is great, because teams need incentive to do well at IRI.~

Honestly, if our team was fortunate enough to participate in IRI and win the doggone thing, I think we'd still pay the next year's fee because we know where that money goes, and it's well worth it.

This.

The automatic invite would be nice though. :)

I'm looking forward to my first IRI! I'm trying to get my team to apply this year... we almost did last year. (:

question about IRI ( and other off-season events ) :

How closely are the inspection rules adhered to at this and other off-season events ?

The reason I'm asking is because we are going to make changes to the bot that make it more 'show friendly'.

It will add a few pounds to the machine and it isn't weight we want to shed to participate in a match.

Rules and Opinions anyone ?
