Yeah, our robot's 100% polycarbonate. We work in a plastics shop so it's just easier that way, and we can laser cut acrylic to use as a template for routing out holes and edges and stuff. And then people think it looks cool ^_^ The only metal is in the gearboxes, motors, shafts, and some chain on the front wheels.

Oh, do you have a picture of your modified robot? I couldn't find any of how it looked in Atlanta.

I could get a traction control field (but then i'd highlight our team's complete lack of it :P ).

The second part will be part of drivetrain. "Drive" is supposed to be "Tank" in this picture. I should probably put "4 [8] wheel tank" for teams that double up on wheels too I guess, but I never found that mattered and it's a lot harder to count from some pictures so I might skip out on that.

So if anyone has any robot pics or information, please PM me so I can save time manually counting Orbit ball fire rates in videos. Stuff like ball capacity / traction control that's hard to find out from a pic would help too, as would pics if you've made mods since the last CD / TBA pic you've posted.

When is the cut off date for registration? I tried to find it, but didn't. :confused:

What if you added a field about the drive team. Experienced vs new drivers?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

The first 72 teams to accept their invitation and mail a check are in.

Is RAWC and Poofs both attending this year?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

You could just put a picture of the 67 HOTBOT and call it good ^.^

BUZZ XIV

This is a picture of our team giving the killer bees the most improved peer award in Atlanta, so far as going out of our division to do so :D. I must say their robot 1 ups ours with industrial conveyor belting and crab drive.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I've been told RAWC is not attending. :(

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Something I'll need from all teams going to IRI that want good information in the IRI Book is their ball capacity, if they have traction control or not, and if you plan to have an autoloading autonomous (driving up to your HP and receiving moon rocks somehow). The rest of the stuff on the sheet I can get from TBA and your robot picture. It would be easier if you got this information to me but it's not a big deal. Some teams that have robot profiles on their website or list info with their pic on CD Media I've managed to find ball capacity information for.

Man, this kind of stuff I find really fun for some reason. I'm glad you guys liked the data sheet, it gives me an excuse to learn about every robot at IRI :D

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

They did not apply.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Aaron....we're registered already..... money in and everything....

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

We will post another update late Tuesday (26th), after the holiday weekend.

Several more teams are now confirmed.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I'm sorry, but the e-mail address we gave doesn't seem to be receiving the invoices from the application process. Is there any way that we could get direct confirmation of the payment/acceptance for team 2970? Thank you.

*sigh* 2081 can't wait to be watching the webcast

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

what's your definition of late? :)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

It's only 2230, give them some time to let it get really late.
