At the IRI, there's no excuses - just competition. And our team, for one, loves it.
Why we love IRI and are hoping to be accepted again this year.

Every non-FIRSTer I know that has seen this t-shirt loves it. More so when I explain to them that IRI is like an All-Star game.

If you've never been its worth the trek. Where to alliances with 5 Einstien appearances in the previous 2 seasons go down in the first elim round? (968, 330, 177, 910, wow that would be 7 appearances now)
