Re: 2011 IRI

I currently plan to attend the IRI this year. Last time I went, I got there and didn't really plan properly to meet everyone. If anyone wants me to try to find them and say hi in person, PM me and I'll do my best to find each of you. I'll only be able to go on Saturday though so thats the only time I'll be able to talk. Depending on how many people I'm looking for, will decide how long I'm available to talk to each one. Last time I was able to have a good conversation with Jane and Billfred as well as several others here. I hope to meet many others I respect here this time around.

Re: 2011 IRI

What: 2011 Non-Engineering Mentors Meeting at IRI!
When: Saturday, July 23, following Opening Ceremonies
Where: Listen to announcements for more details


Last year's meeting was very fun, high energy and informative for everyone! It had some great results too, with a few attendees holding meetings in their own areas. With the additional help of Renee (LadyLogistics) and Libby (LibbyK) our 2011 meeting is going to be even better.

This meeting is open to all mentors who are interested in networking in order to help each other with any Non-Engineering tasks on our teams (like Chairman's and other award submissions, marketing, funding issues, spirit, travel planning, food/meals planning, etc.) If possible, make sure to send a representative from your team, even if you do not have a Non-Engineering Mentor. Afterall, managing a FIRST team involves a lot more than designing and building the robot. So come to the NEMO meeting! Bring your questions, pens to take notes and business cards for easy information exchange.

My favorite improvement: we'll have a sign-in via laptop this year, so I won't have to try and decipher everyone's handwriting and miss people on the email listing!

But yes, Team 1114 has decided to donate a fully powdercoated spare elevator from Simbot Steve to the IRI Silent Auction. We're hoping this mechanism will draw some interest and help raise funds for the IRI family of charities.

Here are some pictures for those of you aren't familiar with it:





If you're interested, be sure to place a bid. Also make sure to check out the items up for bid, IRI always has some good stuff available. We once got a life sized Oscar the Grouch doll!

We'll be offering the championship winning minibot chassis (sorry, no rollers/motors!) which we ran for every single match at champs.

Re: 2011 IRI

Hope bidding doesn't go to high. It could mess-up your BoM the year you use it and does this mean it has to be made available to all teams.

COTS-a “Commercial, Off-The-Shelf” COMPONENT or MECHANISM, in its unaltered, unmodified
state. A COTS item must be a standard (i.e. not custom order) part commonly available from the
VENDOR, available from a non-team source, and available to all teams for purchase.

Emphasis mine

Although you could make the argument that IRI is non-team. That could be scary with 910's robot in a future year with 1114's lift.

Pretty sure it was a joke. I don't think anyone would actually just straight "bolt on" 1114's elevator.

The point wasn't that they were going to, the point was that it would be within the rules.

If anyone wants some sweet photos of Dr. Woodie Flowers, autographed by the man himself, those will be available at the auction also.

See ya soon!
