THIS post by Rick Tyler and
THIS post by M. Krass calls for an invitation to Indianapolis to witness (and/or participate in) the Indiana Robotics Invitational. These guys KNOW how to get it done. This is a TOP NOTCH, FIRST RATE event, IN A HIGH SCHOOL gym with a VERY reasonable budget. The IRI routinely draws most of the top teams from across the continent, including teams from California, Florida, New England, and even Canada. I am not directly involved with the organization of the IRI, but I have helped out as a referee and in other ways, and I would like to personally invite anyone interested to come see a fantastic post-season event in beautiful Indianapolis, IN. The 2006 IRI will be held on July 21-22. Watch "this space" and the
IndianaFIRST.org website in the weeks/months to come more for details.
