2010 Indiana Robotics Invitational Team List

[Chris Fultz]

Below are the teams for the 2010 IRI.
We have a great mix of teams from all around FIRST.

As you can tell, we are expanding the field to 82 teams.

We had quick responses from teams, declines from a few, and added a few from the wait list. With the match timing of this game, we believe we can still have plenty of matches and keep a resonable pace.

We will post details soon on the hotels, schedule, scholarships, awards and other activities.

wow.
I have to herd 82 teams in two days.
Well it will be good practice if I ever get lead que on a championship division.



oy.

[Logan Byers]

82 teams. Only one word needed:
Impressive.

Can't wait to see all these teams in action.

[JaneYoung]

It's good to see 1477 - Texas Torque - on the list. Another awesome Texas team!

I'm guessing it will be a lot like herding (X-) cats. You should already be good at it!

I got bored...

IRI predictions bracket, assuming no large scale seeding system changes. Probably a bit very inaccurate. I rushed through it.

1. 1114	469	1732	234
2. 67	33	51	868
3. 1625	148	359	1058
4. 1086	16	1501	118
5. 233	217	2337	71
6. 2056	1718	111	1714
7. 1519	910	70	494
8. 330	294	1902	1538

1 > 8 in 3
2 > 7 in 4
3 > 6 in 3
5 > 4 in 2

1 > 5 in 4
2 > 3 in 2

1 > 2 in 3

I'm shocked 254 isn't going

Sorry... What is this supposed to be...?

Unfortunately we did not have enough students who were going to be able to attend.

[MarkoRamius1086]

That is a pity! Personally one of the things that I was exited about IRI was to meet The Cheesy Poofs! After all the times in Atlanta and other Regionals that people had mistaken us for 254... I couldn't help but wonder who could inspire so many FRC spectators to immediately think of The Cheesy Poofs when they saw cheeseheads!

To comment on previous predictions, I believe that all of the teams that shall be contending at IRI have an honest chance at victory, and to reinforce that statement I want to mention something I noticed while looking through the records of IRI... No team has won it more than once. Many teams have gotten close, but the closest that anyone has gotten was 1625, who got to the finals in 2008 and then won last year. Perhaps they will win again? Perhaps as everyone seems to fear 1114 and 469 will take the spotlight, which they will undoubtly have deserved if they do win. Whatever the final score is, I know my team will be honored to play with and against all of the teams at this invitational event.

My $0.02
Sincerely,
Petrie

I agree with your point. Since IRI is so deep, making predictions is pretty much guaranteed to be impossible (who thought 980 and 832 would be the top two seeds last year?). But to be completely pedantic, many teams have won the IRI more than once. 1625 won in 2006 and 2009. 469 won it 2002(?), 2003, 2004, and 2009. 68 won it in one of those older years and 2008 and 2009. 111 won in 2007 (and 2003?) 71 won in 2004 and 2006.

[MarkoRamius1086]

Oh that is my mistake! I should have clarified I meant the last three years. 2007, 2008, and 2009. My scouting did not go further back than 2007.

Another factor to look into is the winners of Einstein this year. I do not know if there is a connection in previous years about who won Einstein and who won IRI?

There's a good connection. The more unbeatable you are, the less chance you have of winning IRI. 71 didn't win IRI in either 2001 or 2002 and 1114 didn't win IRI in 2008 are a few examples.

Only 2 championship winners have won IRI the same year, 469 in 2003 and 71 in 2004.

Interestingly, you'd have to go back to 2007 to find an IRI Champion alliance without a member that was on Einstein that year.

An interesting trend that was shattered this year: One of the winners of IRI since 2007 went on to win the Championship Event the next year. 1114 in 2007, 67 in 2008, and it looked like 1625 or 469's turn this year... However, if you amend that slightly to "appearing in the final match of the championship", you can include 469's run this year as well as 71's 2006 IRI - 2007 run.

Yeah... My old team (308) back when I was on it won IRI twice (2001 and 2003). Both times was with 469 as a partner (but 308 was the alliance captain ).

We've only been to IRI 4 times, so let's see if we can bump that win record up over 50%
