IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

The IRI gets a great group of teams every year. Who plans to apply this year?

All three Purdue FIRST teams plan on applying (461, 1646, 1747).

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

343 will be throwing their name in the hat for the first time since 2003.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Good thing you guys are applying.
I have your flag from Curie.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Bacon will be applying. We are already working on the talent show entry.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 1592 plans on applying :D

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

1771 will be applying.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

We had a blast last year. The talent show was awesome. But unfortunately, we won't be able to make it this year.

Hopefully we can return in 2011.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Since IRI has the reputation as the off-season where the best of the best go to play, how good of a record does a team need to have to be considered?

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

We had the option to go in 2008 but turned it down. We will be applying this year, fingers crossed!

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

It is more than just the team record that get them considered.
Team 116 goes every year and have yet to win a regional.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I think that 1511 would have a good shot at getting in.

Need some roadies? :p

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I know that I will likely be there, however I'm not sure if my team will go.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

2791 and 1714 are applying. I'm trying to get some footage of 2791 at CT up, as we performed much better at CT than at WPI. Continuous improvement and all that, I heard it works. Of course, 2791 is already planning and designing off season modificaions.

1714 goes with the "If it gets you to the Championship semifinals and you come within 3 points of beating 1086 and 217, don't touch it" mentality, I think. The last hurrah for the team's awesome drivers and coach, all of whom are seniors.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Blue Cheese team 1086 is trying to work out the logistics, but those vary it looks like it is a go. We just need to apply ... May 3rd won't get here soon enough.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

IRI is one of those events that every team should try to get to at some point. There's nothing like getting your butt kicked by the best! :D

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 980 will apply. We love IRI!

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 832 Oscar is putting in an application. Hopefully we will see everyone there.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

team 1379 is applying! :)

to the other georgia teams applying - if more than just one team gets in we should definitely talk about sharing transportation

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I'd like to have 964 apply, if funding allows. :)

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

1625 will be there.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

We'll be applying.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 1730 will also be applying.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

694 will be giving applying to IRI another shot.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Even though nobody really talked about us this year, 469 is planning on applying...

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

107 will be applying

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Did you guys even compete this year? Are you just coming for the talent show?

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

744 would love to apply, however, we aren't sure if we have the funds.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Who's 469? I think you're lost, sir...

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I thought the winning alliance from the year previous didn't have to apply.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I believe they apply and then are automatically invited.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I thought we didn't usually get confused until page 3 going on 4. We are precocious.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 910 ,The Foley Freeze would not miss this awsome event ,as long as we get picked !!!!

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Thanks for picking it up, we must have missed it! Regardless of whether or not we are selected, I'm sure someone from our team will be there to pick it up.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

2415's applying. *crosses fingers* And I definitely agree about sharing transportation. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks(/months?)...

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 254 has not officially discussed IRI yet but we will most likely be applying.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

That's because they are too busy talking to us at the vex tournament. ;)
we have been away from home since April 13 and plan on applying when we get back next week.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 1501 T.H.R.U.S.T. will be applying again this year. We haven't missed one yet.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

1718 will be applying - we'd love nothing more than to 'hang' out at IRI! [sorry...I groaned at my own bad pun there:D ]

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Do you have our GM flag from Curie also? :D

2337 won't be attending IRI, but so we don't miss out on all the fun, I'm working on going with a small group of people who want to go from our team. Come watch the fun and be a floating cheering club. Unfortunately, I don't have enough people (or willing people to scout for fun during off seasons events) to scout it, or else you know I would be.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

1557 will most likely not be applying, we have too much other stuff going on...

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

You already have the bacon shirt......just be bacon again

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Talent show?!! :ahh: :eek:

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

1018 will be applying. looking forward to see the best there. :cool:

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Is that the Ninja Munkees?:confused:

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Yes I do.
As well as Team Rush.
3230.
2630.
537.
I don't know how I'm going to get Thunderbolt's flag back to them.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Though Team 2345 hasnt talked about it this year, i am going to bring it up because i would love to exprience the awesomeness of IRI. Since this would 2345's first time even thinking about applying, can anyone explain how we would go about doing so, and what are our chances of getting in?

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

The Goats will be applying. The students are already discussing robot changes and talent show ideas. Also this years dates don't conflict with our biggest fundraiser for the first time in years.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Check out this thread: IRI - Registration, Plans, Changes for 2010

On or around May 3, IRI applications will be available at this website:

http://indianaroboticsinvitational.org/

Fill out the application completely and submit well before the published deadline. Last year, almost 110 teams applied, 82 were selected and 72 ultimately registered. I'm guessing even more teams will apply, so you will need to stand out from a field of impressive applicants. Once you apply, wait impatiently for the list of selected teams to be announced. If selected, send your acceptance and payment promptly!

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Nah the first time we applied was 2009.

I've always wanted to go to IRI, but this summer still can't be my first IRI- I'll be in Switzerland! Maybe next year. :)

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I'd like for 176 to apply this year, as we never have before. Cant say anything official yet though. ;)

I think an offseason event as competitive as IRI would be good experience for us. :cool:

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

Team 2081 will hopefully be making their second appearance at the IRI!

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

469 will be attending, and we have some tricks up our sleeves...details to come....

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

469 has tricks? I doubt that.

1529 will be applying.

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

I think it was 51 or something, they had this great idea to like, catch balls before they hit the ground and redirect them into the goals, or was that 125?

Re: IRI 2010 -- Who's Applying?
 

My son from team 2041 said you guys are pretty good - so, you will probably get in.
