IRI - 2014 Team Invitations

[BobbyVanNess]

Will there be any updates on the 2014 IRI Talent Show and audition process? I don't believe I've seen anything about it so far. It was a lot of fun last time and I've already got some new material prepared for this year.

[Gregor]

Is there a "final" list available of team who've accepted their invitations?

[Chris Fultz]

we will post the final list of teams in a few days. we are confirming payments and final acceptances.

yes there WILL be a talent show. we will post the details soon, but it will be similar to previous years, where you will need to sign up and then audition.

IRI is a competition run by some teams in Indiana every summer. Teams from all over the world apply and the committee picks the best 70 teams (in their opinion) to compete against each other. It isn't an official FIRST event, but most people see it as more competitive than FRC world champs.

Unless I'm mistaken it looks like 175, 334, 384, 610, 862, 1126, 1318, 2848, 3147 and 3467 declined their invitations while 461, 1086, 1730 and 1806 accepted additional invitations.

It's not entirely clear from reading the formulae... The headers are labels for some set, or possibly a set difference (the set of teams invited to the IRI, invited to CMP, IRI but not CMP, etc.). Then the column is the indicator function for this set for the team in the leftmost column (for all teams who applied to the IRI).

I rearranged the columns since then the two sets I added look at the teams invited to the IRI (iri inv) and compare this list to the teams in the final list (iri final). This second group of columns is where I got the info backing up John's post, where it lists team numbers in "Invited but not Final" and "Final but not Invited". But not the easiest to read spreadsheet in the world...

Edit: besides, something like this really ought to be done python or something instead...

So I've quickly set up an IRI Prescout spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
It'd be cool if teams could enter their own information in.
I'd ask that you not re-sort the spreadsheet, Only enter your own team's information, and if you have any questions as to what anything on the spreadsheet means, comment here. Thanks!
IRI is just two weekends away!!!!

The idea behind this is while you might think you know a team's robot inside and out, some teams make crazy changes (sometimes even bringing whole new robots) for IRI.
Unless you know for sure what a team has or hasn't done since Championships, don't fill spaces in for them in the spreadsheet.

I had just a couple questions on the spreadsheet.
- What is a "fender shot"?
- When you say inbound from close versus range you mean whether or not the robot can be loaded by a human player up close or from far away, correct?

A fender shot is shooting in the high goal from up against the low goal. Like 254, 2590, 1114, etc.

And that's exactly what is meant by inbounding from range vs. close.

If there's anything that someone thinks should be added to the spreadsheet, just say the word.
