There is an elaborate selection process, many factors included.
Robot performance, team performance, team uniqueness, regional diversity, country, past support of IRI, current support of IRI, etc.
We will open for applications May 5th and make decisions within a week of that. We will issue 'invitations' and then teams have a certain time to accept and send payment. After that time runs out, we work through the waiting list.
For 2008, there are no automatic invitations
(except it might be kinda wierd if we didn't invite the hosting teams)...
We will limit the field to 72 teams.
Hope this helps.
