Is it sad that I've put IRI on my bucket list? Maybe next season our robot will be ready :-)

Come without the robot! Spectate! Volunteer! Hang out at the premiere robotics tournament in the world! (Einstein was the beta test for IRI)

I'd be tempted to volunteer if I could find the funding to do so. Hmmm - I can chalk it up to preparing for the Red Stick Rumble. :-)

I second that. I volunteered last year for the first time; thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Depending on what role you choose as a volunteer, you may or may not have a chance to spectate the event. Field Reset will probably get you the best opportunity to spectate since you will be by the field and idle during the matches (except for the occasional chasing down of frisbees and re-entering them onto the field). Refereeing (my favorite volunteer position) will make you an active spectator, but you might miss 3/4 of the action because you need to be watching your quadrant of the field. Whether you get to spectate or not, volunteering is always fun and I highly recommend volunteering at IRI.

Not sad, exciting. It has the feel of a small regional (really a lot like one of our MAR districts) but with a competition level like St Louis. And, it is a great place to meet some really cool people.

What exactly are you looking for under the "What was your best performance this year?" category? Are you looking for a specific match, a small subset of matches or the event where we think we had the best performance?

We working on it! Wrapped up the video yesterday and trying to make sure we have the people to attend. It'll be in by this evening. Thanks!

Question, by submitting an application to attend, would our team be financially committed to the event if we were accepted or would we be able to decline to go if it wasn't within our team's finances?
