... puts us at 96 teams.

According to Fultz's IRI white paper, invites will go out May 12th (one week from today). I think that we had 102 applications in '07 and 97 apps in '08. We may set a new high mark this year.

Thanks to all.

816 just submitted their app. =D

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1018 has applied.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

unofficially, i have 104 applications in my mailbox (might be a few duplicates)..

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I know the feeling--we've decided to pass as well. (No money budgeted, plus no school representative, the lion's share of our kids off doing other things...)

Next year, though, I will renew the push to bring some chicken up to balance out the pork. ;)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

It was possible for your team to raise the money. All it takes is a team effort. Fundraising was our main method of raising money since we only had one sponsor at that time. Too bad we didn't raise enough for ATL but it could have worked for your team.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I count 20 Indiana teams. That means we're missing 10. As state hosts, I believe we need a perfect 30/30 attending to welcome our out-of-state (and country) brethren and sistren(?).

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

do indiana teams get a automatic invite if they apply?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

not any more.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

The Early Career teams do!

Seriously, the methods the IRI staff use to decide who to invite and who not to invite is a closely guarded secret, and it often changes year-to-year.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

If anybody tried to register for IRI this morning, you may have received a message saying not more applications will be accepted. This was a mistake. I had inadvertantly put the incorrect time to close the form. Registration will close today at 6:00pm. Please don't wait until the last minute to sign up! Email us at pc [at] indianaroboticsinvitational.org if you have any probmems.

Thanks,

That makes 106 teams. I think that one or two more have applied this morning, but my latest info is from last night (Thursday).

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Man, this anticipation is killing me. A weekend until they announce the 72 teams and I won't have classwork to distract me!

(not like it's ever suceeded at distracting me from robotics but I digress)

Is anyone dreaming up any giant mods for IRI? I've got some new strategies and possibly some code changes in mind for our team, but nothing structural, yet. I'm dreaming of a corner load autonomous to throw 4 more balls into our feeder, and if my measurements are right (they're not) an empty cell loader in the front.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

816, 1771, 2753...

I <3 you guys for applying. :D
