Woo IRI! Yet another thing to be excited about!
For us... it's kind of casual since our robot work place is about a 1~2 minute drive from where IRI is held... usually our pit goes kind of like... one tool box shows up... then a couple batteries... then a robot... then an OI pannel... since usually we bring the robot in somebody's pick up truck then everything else is ferried in somebody's four-door.
Well, if anybody needs a tour guide, I'm sure anyone on 1024 would be happy to render assistance. And, we're doubly easy to find at IRI: of course we'll be in the pit, but we also run the snack bar at IRI... so... satisfy your hunger for knowledge and your physical hunger in one fell swoop.

p.s. We're trying to have a couple neat demos from the software department ready in time for IRI... a huge, dynamic, homebrew LED display for the pit... and, with luck, a small pen plotter made out of VEX (great way to teach the programming team high level autonomous skills (waypoint nav/arc interpolation))
