Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

Here are a few more updates:

Rules tweaks are listed here. There are no significant changes. We will have the 1-8, 1-8, 8-1 alliance selection process with 4 teams on each elimination alliance, with the alliance captain choosing who plays in each match (same as 2008, 2009 IRI). Seriously, FIRST and the GDC did an excellent job with the rules this year. The adjustments at IRI are simply tweaks and appropriate changes that we can do due to the depth of the competing field.

WPA encryption: Teams will not need to get WPA encryption code. Teams will simply need to be sure that their team number is addressed on their Classmate and their cRIO.

Practice Field: The fieldhouse will again have the wooden border practice field. Teams will simply run their robots on this field like they would at a demo, wirelessly.

120 Volts AC will be provided at the playing field driver stations for Classmate power as needed.

For Friday morning practice matches on the main field, please limit your team to one match only. With 79 teams attending, we will most likely NOT get all teams the ability to have one practice match, but we will have as many matches as we can.

Andy B.
