Something New for 2008 IRI

[Chris Fultz]

We are considering having 'team forums' at the 2008 IRI, with specialist presentations on specific topics of interest to FIRST teams.

What are some topics you would like to see covered?

If you are interested in making a presentation, send me a PM with the topic.
For presentations, we would like to have a mentor and student present together.

After looking at the schedules and possible ways to do this, we don't think we can make it work.

However, we have another option that we are going to pursue.

We will publish an "IRI White Papers" booklet and have copies available for teams.

We will pull some of the best from the CD papers, and are also open to new papers created now.

please send me the papers, or post them on CD and send me a PM if you want a paper considered for publication.

in addition to technical papers, we would like to publish some Chairman's entries. please notify me if you would like your teams entry in the booklet.

I'm going to want a copy for sure!
