I have two west cast teams that i would like to see come to IRI
1318- They did a great job on Galileo this weekend, not to mention winning oregon. and being a semifinalist in Seattle. Their a great robot and a great team,
488- Team X-Bot is one of the most unrecognized teams here, Madison is pretty much the face of the team on CD. I think they deserve a little bit more love after being finalists on Archimedes as the #6 alliance caption (they declined to join the #3 alliance, who they handy defeated in the QF's), they also won the Seattle Regional.
If you haven't seen their robot, it could be a frightful experience if you take your eyes off them for a couple of seconds. you can't really tell how many balls they have in their hopper because it's covered. You can watch them collect balls most of the match.... and next thing you know, they knocked in 18-20 balls into a trailer in less than two seconds.
Im sure both of these teams could come up with something for the talent show too

The Algorithm that they are speaking of is called Swiss. The system is used for different card tournaments like Magic The Gathering, Pokemon and Yugioh Organized Play. it doesn't use RS as a tiebreaker, but instead it uses your opponents records as tiebreakers (and their opponents, and the opponents there after.)
The only negitive i see with this idea would be that you would have to use a whole new scoring software platform that wouldn't take RS into consideration but instead the Tiebreakers (Levels 1-3) into effect.
(i'd also like to see 945 at IRI, but that's most likely not going to happen.... i know we can put on a funny skit though, since were bananas like that
)
Personally, i would like to see myself attend IRI for the first time ever. I've always wanted to go but something has always come up. Hopefully this doesn't happen this year.... even if something does, i'll just say i have to go to IRI, and end it right there
