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

OR ELSE.

Could a Florida alliance take it all?

Bionic Pink BOOM Attack! (sounds like something from a bad 90s anime... )

LOL. Krunch is unable to go as well. We would've loved to have gone. Oh well! Next year!

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, PINK ATTTTTTTTACK.......*boom*

(Think Thundercats!)

Thank you to those teams and individuals who supported our journey here.

Your team has earned a spot after years of hard work and great robots !

Its great to see teams like 624 and 3310 make their first IRI appearance.

It would be neat to look at the number of appearances at IRI for all teams !

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

It certainly is, we can't wait and look forward to seeing 624 there as well as all the others that have made it.

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.

Alliances can be insane, just a quick guess at how some of these super alliances could form.

Alliance Captain 1st pick 2nd pick 3rd pick
1 67 341 111 125
2 2056 1114 973 2168 (Had to put the eh team together)
3 2826 118 3098 48
4 469 33 3322 68
5 148 359 25 1714
6 254 233 744 16
7 1718 2337 51 1023
8 1538 330 217 71

I don't see anything wrong with any of the picks made. #1 alliance has the hybrid king and queen and wildstangs as a second pick! 2 all michigan alliances (4 and 7) have formed. 217 (my vote for best robot not at championship) goes as a 24th pick then takes 71, the other missing robot! All this and I'm still missing a ton of amazing teams. I am a little michigan based in this but I went with teams I knew. Sorry if I didn't include your team in this, again just went with teams I knew! Also I bet all of these could triple balance!

That'd sure be a fun alliance to play with. Rough being the only wide robot on that alliance

I'm seeing 1023 on #4 and #7 :-)

And I'm not seeing 548 in there! I know you be them, but I'm not believing that 548 won't be playing in the afternoon!
