[JOClarke]

Blue Cheese is home and already working on the 2011 season. IRI was incredible, over the top, beyond my expectations. Champs are over whelming by the sheer number teams and students but IRI really was the best of the best. Blue Cheese hopes to be a part of this incredible event next year.

Team 1086 and I would like to thank Andy Baker – Chris Fultz & Families, Mark Koors, IRI volunteers, Team 234 - 1024 - 45, Paul & Mike Copioli, Ken & Noel –Mechanical Mayhem, Travis Hoffman
THANKS
Old friends: ThunderChickens, Exploding Bacon, Delphi Elite, Mechanical Mayhem
New friends: Jim Zondag – Killer Bees, Jane Young – IRI queuing, KOKO ED – IRI queuing, Glenn – Hawaiian Kids and team HOT

Special thanks to: Karthik – Simbotics, Tyler – OP and team 3138 Innovators, we gave the # 1 seed a run for the money but those last couple of balls after the match ended made all the difference. It truly was an honor running with you guys, hopefully Blue Cheese is allowed to cross the border for a chance to play again with our new Canadian friends or maybe the state of Ohio and the innovators can welcome us.

We appreciate all the support we got from all the teams at IRI. Next year we hope to do IRI right with a larger team. Team 1086 learned a lot and hopes that the lessons we learned from HOT and Simbotics, will carry Blue Cheese to a new level of success.
Thanks Again
From THE BIG CHEESE
