There is no wait list apparently this year, so all of you better go.

OR ELSE.

For 2011, Einstein teams 217 and 2016 were also 2nd round picks, and World Champion 973 was a 3rd round pick.

Quoted for truth. In 2011, I want to say it was 3/4 defending IRI champs didn't make the elims. The 4th hasn't paid for IRI in two years--they won again.

At IRI, NOBODY is almost guaranteed a spot in the eliminations (unless they seed top 8). The competition is just that good!

I'd like to bet that its more about who's driving at IRI than just that there's good teams attending.

Who said anything about the teams being good? I specified the competition. (While the competition does include the robots, and the teams, both of which are usual IRI quality or better, it also includes the drive teams of those teams, and the other side events.)

I think we have this year's IRI motto.
