Anyway, this year IRI is going to be bigger and better then before, and i reccomend that when registration opens you register quick. I have a feeling spots will go fast.

The Omni, more specifically my and Big Mike's hotel room, was alot of fun. We had about 10 FIRST-ers in there listening to story time featuring JVN until 3 in the morning two nights. Fun times.

Will someone please remember to bring an alarm clock for John V-Neum this year?

I think he may need several. Wouldn't want to sleep through the first few rounds now, would we?

I think the phone call went something like this:

Roughly 9-9:30 AM (I believe)
Ring

JVN: "Hello?"

AB: "Hey John, its Andy and there is this robotics competition going on down the street and I was just wondering if you were going to show up?"

Ehh something like that....

The second night we weren't in there till 3 cause Mike kicked us out . But we still managed to have fun running around the hotel at 2AM and taking pictures of the door of room 201 .

They had an alarm clock, but it only works if you set it . Maybe they should have just stayed up when Ken left at 5AM...

Talking Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

An alarm clock isnt going to do too much good if he does something like...oh I dont know taking a hammer to it and smashing it to little pieces, throwing it against the wall till it breaks, tearing out the power cord/winder/batteries, turning it off...and so on. I think you would be better off getting a group of people to sing a morning greeting outside his door if he isnt up in time.

It didn't help that we stayed up really late that night watching a movie.

BTW For anybody that is going to be flying to IRI be sure that you get a Limo instead of a taxi. I learned this the hard way. When the time comes I will post the number of a good limo company at the airport which I used to get to the bus station. It only cost me $11 from the airport to the bus station. As opposed to $43 from the bus station to the Omni.

Actually thats mostly my fault because as Ken left he woke me up and then I was supposed to get up and shower then wake up John and Aaron, but instead I just fell back asleep... But the movie the night before was so horribly made it was funny, and somehow it led to us deciding that Johns new name was Johnny Van-Neun, I don't quite remember how we came to that conclusion.

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

Just a reminder, don't take anything listed here as fact.
Just chit-chat,
Except the IRI dates, which are pretty close to fact, in fact.

yes, definitely. not to mention the 12 hour drive looking for ANYthing on the road that said 1089 (and that's no easy feat!). but we did find one, (mile 108 and 9 tenths) heading out of Pennsylvania.

Perhaps there might be a pool fight again this year?

Re: 2004 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

Ken....I'm so glad to see that you will be at IRI again this year! In addition to doing an OUTSTANDING job with scoring, I had a great time getting to know you last year!

We wanted to get IRI dates out there so people could get the dates on their calendar. With the number of teams that are interested in coming, we thought it would be good to post early!

Good luck to everyone!
