It is with great regret that Team 175 Buzz Robotics had to decline the kind invitation to this year’s 2014 IRI Tournament.
We were both honored and surprised to be invited this year. It was especially a surprise to students, mentors and the managers of Buzz, as the whole application was completed and submitted covertly by one of our graduating seniors!!
We genuinely examined the possibility of coming out for the competition this year, but unfortunately, it is not logistically possible for us to plan and execute the trip to Indiana. Most of the students and their families already have planned activities for this summer and our ability to mount a proper student Drive Team, transport the estimated 30 hours round trip, is just not feasible for this year.
We would like to have the opportunity in the future to be invited and will, going forward, include the potential of attending the IRI Tourney in our planning activities.
