Because I'm not nearly as eloquent as some of the others who have posted here, and to avoid sounding like a broken record, I've only got two things to mention...
- Thanks to everyone who was at the event - the teams, the volunteers, the spectators...everyone. I know that I had a lot of fun while I was down there, and I'd love to come next year if I'm able to. As always, the event was made by the people at it...and just like in all other aspects of FIRST, the people involved were stellar.
- A special thanks to 393 and Libby Ritchie for giving us such a warm welcome. It was nice to see you all again, and it's great knowing that we've got friends down in Indy. I didn't spend as much time with you as other members of 818 did (I ended up sleeping instead of working on Saturday afternoon), but I enjoyed the times when we were together. Here's hoping that we'll be able to see each other again next year.
A bit more brief and blunt than I would have liked...but as I said before, I'm not a great writer. IRI was a great competition, and I'd love to be back next year, whether as a member of 818 or as a volunteer.
