As for the two robots opportunity...

I will bet anyone a case of Coca-Cola (I don't like Dew) that there will be 40 separate FIRST teams registered for IRI. Heck, I bet that there will even be a waiting list!

With this in mind, there will be no FIRST team with two robot entries at IRI.

Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to see Lady Truck Town take on Truck Town Thunder or the Mighty Mouse beat up on the Mighty Auk (again). However, we are getting just too much interest in new teams attending the IRI.

Think of this:

There are 16 Indiana FIRST teams. 9 of these attended the IRI last year, along with 18 other FIRST teams. IF those 18 from last year attend, along with the 16 total Indiana FIRST teams, that makes 34... leaving only 6 spots for teams who are not from Indiana or did not play last year.

The Indiana teams have already been invited to the IRI and they have first shot to get these spots. So far, many teams from out of state have shown interest in attending the IRI who have never attended before.

With all of that in mind, I am pretty confident that we will get 40 teams. I hope so.

Now... on the other hand... there are some people talking about having exhibition events in the parking lot (or something like that), where we could have a tractor pull, and obstacle race, or other goofy exhibitions. This is just talk for now. These backup robots could compete in these events, if they happen.
