Code Red had a great time at IRI, and really appreciates those who put the work in to make it happen.

It certainly was a team-friendly event that ran very smoothly. IRI was packed with very accomplished teams of all shapes and sizes, and it was good for our team members, mentors and coaches to rub shoulders with so many of you.

We camped out in tents for three nights and had a blast doing that, even after Thursday's big rainstorm! Hobo pies, s'mores and mosquito bites, campfires and Robotics - you can't beat that! It made for some good good team-building. Thanks for the tip on that, Team 107.

To be honest, our team had planned to cut out early from the talent show because we had a late Thursday night drying out our gear. The talent show was so much fun, we couldn't leave! Who can walk out on ball-boy or Exploding Bacon?

Thanks to all the teams, students, mentors and volunteers who helped make IRI something special.
