Despite unusually large hurdles, we are going to IRI because it is the place to see the best teams in the nation (that, and the fact that going halfway across the country was the only way for us seniors to reclaim our robot from the new drive team). we're only coming with three kids and one adult, but we're doing everything in our power to make it work.

speaking of the devil, you know that turnaround match? we're going to have to borrow some grown ups from somewhere. the one we have is good, but he doesn't have six arms. If worse comes to worse, we may even need to find someone to help us out with the drive team (though probably not). but still, if you find yourself at IRI without a team, or want to try something new, you could always be an honorary member of team 571 for two days. if you are serious about it, send me a pm and i might even be able to hook you up with a shirt. might. first i have to find them. but you never know, it could happen.
