2791 is definitely applying to IRI! We think we finally have the robot and drive team to get in, and there aren't conflicts with the date for us like last year.

One question - are there going to be nominations / recommendations again this year? A few of our friends are applying and we'd love to show our support.

[Abhishek R]

With the number of good teams applying, I'd even hate to play against the 13th seeded alliance if there was one.

[Chris Fultz]

we will post the list of invited teams by late next week, and then it takes awhile to have a "final list". Some invited teams cannot attend for different reasons so it will probably be mid-June before we have a final line-up.

We will publish a match early the week before the IRI, to be sure we capture any late changes to the team list. It won't be "final" until Friday morning when we know everyone is there.

[Chris Fultz]

Here is the Friday update.
Applications close later tonight.
We will post an update late Saturday / Sunday (After the IN CHP) with all teams who have applied.
This brings our total to - 114. (edit to add 1511 & 111).

2 910 The Foley Freeze
3 1058 PVC Pirates
4 1086 Blue Cheese
5 1325 Inverse Paradox

4329 is applying for the first time. There are a lot of amazing teams that have applied, it's going to be one heck of a competition for sure!

We have a freshman driver. He won a regional first time he ever drove. He told me he would be honored to get his butt kicked by the amazing teams attending IRI.

[Chris Fultz]

If you have applied and your team is not listed, please forward the email response you received to pc@indianaroboticsinvitational.org.

There have been 1 or 2 that didn't forward correctly and we want to be sure we have all interested teams before we begin the selection process.

Thanks to everyone who has applied. I think this is a real recognition of the caliber of teams and the level of play that is always expected at the IRI.
