IRI - Results and Congratulations

[Chris Fultz]

Congratulations and Thank You for making the 2012 IRI a great event.

All of the teams, volunteers and visitors made for another great weekend of robotics.

DSATK took some of the edge off of the weekend, and Paul C played a little, if you were paying attention.

Sean Bott, the mentalist who performed on Friday night was awesome. (He probably knew i was going to write that.)

Congratulations to the winners of the 2012 IRI. Remember, you receive and automatic, paid entry to the 2013 IRI if you choose to apply.
Congrats to 2826, 1114, 4334 & 245

Also congrats to the Runner Up alliance. What a great battle to the end.
And, did you notice that alliance "6" team number digits all add up to "6".
1023 = 1+0+2+3=6, 3+3, 5+1, 3+3+0. Pretty cool.

Charity Action -

We collected over $3600 from the Charity Auction and this will be shared with three local charities (one in Kokomo, one near Lawrence, one near Perry Meridian).

We collected about 104 backbacks. These will go to very deserving students in one of the school districts near Rolls-Royce. Our total for backpacks is now over 850!
