Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

2230 would have loved to apply, but it's hard getting half way around the globe more than once a year for the championship, anyways :P good luck everyone... So far from the list my money's on x-bacon and swamp... they had great robots on Galileo this year :P

It will be our first time... =)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I'm not entirely sure if we've applied yet, but if not Team RUSH will be.

I can't wait for this year. After ending up in last place place in 2007 (72 out of 72) with many robot failures, to making the semi-finals after beating 217 and 71 in the quarters I can't imagine what's going to happen this year.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

245 Applied.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

After a one year absence, 269 has applied and looks to get back in the IRI mix.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1675 has applied and is ready to deliver!

And I REALLY want to play in the mentor tournament =)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Team 2970 has applied.

(Now to tell the mentors... :o )

EDIT: Wow, a lot of good teams that I remember from Nationals going as well. If we are accepted, then there's going to be a lot to talk about. See you if I see you!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1124 is applying for the first time!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

980 has applied.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1714 has applied, though we weren't in the last big list of numbers ?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

That big list of numbers is just a compilation of who is posting here in this thread.

We will not post a list of who has applied - only an invitation list and wait list.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Team 1538 just applied for the first time...

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

2199 applied. Hopefully well make it, even though we didn't qualify for nationals. Hopefuly a 19-8-0 record, a semi and finalist finish, and an Industrial Design award throws some weight in the consideration.

If not, some of us are thinking of making a road to watch and admire anyway.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

NOTE TO ALL: Multiple submissions do not improve your chances of getting accepted. Please do not submit multiple times. Thanks. :)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1884 is polishing our submission.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

68 will be their too!!
c u all there!:)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1923 has applied but has not yet received an email confirming our submission.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

It may have been marked as spam. I have gmail, and it thought it was spam.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Team 1816 "The Green Machine" has applied.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1529 has applied.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Yup- Gmail caught the IRI email address as spam- let that be an FYI to all those who submitted with a gmail address as contact info! :) I've made sure it's now marked as "Not Spam". Wouldn't want to miss anything.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Team 1094, the River City Robots Channel Cats, and Fish Boy have registered.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1649 has Applied! :D

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

OK. As of the time/date of this posting, here's what I've got from going through this thread:

:) 45 Teams have applied
They are team #'s - 27, 45, 47, 67, 68, 79, 92, 171, 179, 217, 233, 234, 245, 254, 269, 330, 365, 399, 694, 714, 829, 868, 890, 1024, 1094, 1124, 1155, 1529, 1538, 1625, 1646, 1646, 1649, 1675, 1718, 1747, 1816, 1884, 1902, 1923, 2081, 2194, 2199, 2753, 2970

Some interesting factoids:
Farthest distance (approx. mileage) Team #1884 (London) - 3981 miles
Followed by the California teams - #254 (1941 miles); #330 (1822 miles); #890 (1812 miles); #399 (1789 miles); #1538 (1787 miles).
Next are the Florida teams - #179 (954 miles); #233 (852 miles); #70 (827 miles); #1902 & #1649 (826 miles).

So far there are: 5 teams from CA; 1 from CT; 1 from DE; 5 from FL; 2 from IL; 10 from IN; 1 from the UK; 1 from MD; 7 from MI; 1 from MN; 1 from MO; 2 from NJ; 2 from NY; and 6 from WI.

:ahh: WOW!!

Good Luck to everyone on receiving an invitation and a special GOOD LUCK to the IRI decision making committee!
:eek: :confused: Who to choose?

I believe that is a total of 87 teams. If your team is not on this list, and you think that you have registered, you need to apply again OR send an email to "pc AT indianaroboticsinvitational.org".

Thank you,
Andy B.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Oh man. I'm excited. Repeat of 10,000 Lakes anyone ?_?

What would be REALLY cool is (hoping all of the relevant teams qualify) a totally random qualification match comes up with 1714 / 2826 / Someone versus 2970 / 79 / Someone. Minnesota Double Regional Winner Faceoff!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

come on 217 where ya at your not on andys official list, you know you wanna sign up
/bad pun/ or are you chicken?:D /bad pun/

(and yes i do see the post on the first page, i just had to get a dumb joke out of the system lol)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1884 has now submitted. Still looking for all the money to make the trip, have some hope it can get knocked loose. LON-IND flights are not cheap! You think we can take the robot as a carry on? :yikes:

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I love seeing all the rookie teams that have applied. Great job guys.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

We just applied. I was at the Vex World Championship and just got back home to have a chance to apply.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

SparX has applied! Looking forward to what should be an excellent competition again this year.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Oddly, not a single team from the Newton finals
1507 121 177 vs 1918 85 135

I would expect that would change when atleast the Indiana team,135 (finalist), applies ;)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

148, 968, 121 and 987 haven't applied?
i wanted to see them at IRI...

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I definitely agree. I'd want to see 1717 and 1771 too.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1038 has applied! Looking forward to getting together with all of our friends and making new ones.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1507 will apply today after school! I hope we make it!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

1771 has applied this will be our first time we can't wait:)

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Oh, we would love to apply, but it's just not in the cards for this year...

Hopefully next year!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

What an incredible list of teams! I don't envy the task that Andy and Chris have before them...

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Team 1622 has also applied for the IRI. This would be the teams first time submitting for entry.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I'd love to see 1717 there too, but the odds are slim with the way their program is run (new group of students every year).

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

968 will not be applying.

987 said they probably wouldn't be applying either, but that was a month or two ago.

... 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.

Andy B.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

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,

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

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

2775 is converting our practice bot to a co-axial swerve drive. Based on testing at our site and pending acceptance to IRI, we will decide which one to bring.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

If we get in I think we're planning on making the drivetrain faster, and increasing the firing rate even more.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Of that list only 56 of those teams were on the initial invite list last year. I'm not sure of those who were on the wait list ended up coming.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

You mean....

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

So you weren't kidding when you said there was not much to do in Jackson...let us know when you start running "simulation mode."

-

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

im so nervous!!!! only a few days to go to they announce. If we do get invited though, I hope that we go with a design that was idealized by a close friend of 3119.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

Of course I meant sneak Akash to Indiana with us.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

what time exactly will the teams be announced?

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

The IRI website says invitations will be sent on May 12.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
 

I'm excited to find out!!
