It's that time of year again! IRI is just around the corner with many teams that are gearing up for, IMO, the toughest event in FRC history. I say this only because this year's game makes it extremely difficult for any one team to stand out above the rest. I believe that a strong autonomous combined with a perfect execution of proper match strategy will be the key to winning IRI this year. Missed auto shots and alliance balls being scooted around the field will hurt many teams this year. The best part about IRI is that it's more than just a competition due to the great charity work that the planning committee puts on through the event. Here's to hope for another 115+ backpacks for students in the Indianapolis area! I also want to note that I tried not to leave any team out but there are seventy elite teams and only thirty-two of them can make eliminations so please do not feel slighted as I am usually very wrong with my predictions.
