Thanks Ryan. After the great competition we had with Team 234 in Phoenix, we just have to come and visit you folks again, especially since Libby (Team 393) gave us a personal invitation right here on Chief Delphi.

Fact is, although this has been our most successful year in FIRST so far, we just don't feel like the season is over. We are still looking around for some more good competitions, and we know a great place to find one: IRI! It was awesome last year, and this year, its going to be UNBELIEVABLE!

(One of our mentors figured out that the average regional qualifying scores of the teams currently on the list for IRI is quite a bit higher than the average for the teams attending the Championship Event. [Yes, he has all the scores for every team that went to Atlanta.] In other words, for any teams looking for a tough competition, a trip to Indiana is HIGHLY recommended!)

(Oh, by the way, the mid-west hospitality is impossible to beat! :-)
