Me and the rest of Team 2337 had a fantastic time as the IRI! It was our first time going, and there was a sort of anticipation from weeks ahead. Best part was that it exceeded all expectations. It truly fit the saying "IRI: So much more."
The VEX competition went great. Thank You Chrisisme for letting me drive your 'bot. What you called yelling, I call excellent drive coaching. Sorry for bending the pickup arm every single match.
Also thanks to Karthik for running the event and congratulations to 1640 for wiping the floor with us, taking the win undefeated.
As most people know, 2337 has a robot made to suspend. It was great to show that off twice in one day (the second being a most Beastly suspension [I cannot get over than pun]), especially with the first elimination match suspension ever. We'd like to thank Teams 2081 and 71 for the opportunity to be epic. Also thanks to Karibou for the pics.
The eliminations were as good as they get. Being selected fourth overall at IRI was probably one of the greatest monuments to our success this season. Thank You Team 234 making that selection. Also thanks to Teams 71 and 16, who rounded out a great alliance.
I'm sure that I missed other facets of what was an excellent competitions, but there was just so much to love!
