Can't wait to compete with you guys! This will be our team's first time going and we are so excited!

[Gregor]

Definitely disappointed in not seeing 865, but overall that's a stunning list of teams.

[Justin Montois]

Teams 340 & 3015 are extremely excited to have a chance to play with all of these incredible teams!

As always, IRI is a world class event and we can't thank the planning committe enough for their efforts. See you all in a few weeks!

Congratulations to all invited teams.

That looks to be one tough competition. It will be awesome to watch as usual.

I will be rooting for the Missouri teams.

[Kevin Leonard]

Some incredible machines both on and off this list.
I'm excited to attend my third IRI, and I'm pumped to see both 20 and 5254 on the list.
Other New York teams 340, 3015.
I'm interested to see how well New York's best perform at the most competitive event in FIRST.
Although I am disappointed 1126 and 1511 didn't make it in. Both machines were capable of 2+ stacks per match pretty consistently.

[MARS_James]

I am both ecstatic and shocked that we made the final list. I am looking forward to seeing how IRI plays out in person

[AndrewPospeshil]

Congrats to all the teams who've been accepted! I know this year will be a great event as usual.

One thing I noticed is the absence of a few powerhouse teams - namely 254 and 987. I heard that 987 will be in China during this time; I assume the Poofs are also committed or simply won't be traveling so far this time, seeing as they didn't send in an application. Regardless, there's still an incredible number of powerhouse teams from around the globe on this list, and I'm excited to see all of them once again!

[AllenGregoryIV]

Texas has some pretty awesome teams headed to Indiana. I'm disappointed 4587 didn't make it in, they have an awesome robot this year.

[Doug Frisk]

Alrighty then, anyone have hotel recommendations?

The ones around the event will be sucked up in seconds.
The Extended Stay me, Mojo, my niece and Garrick stayed at suited us perfectly fine and wasn't too far away from the event. I'll definitely look into staying there again.

[Mike Marandola]

316 is extremely excited to attend this year. We can't wait to talk and compete with some of the best teams in FRC.

[Abhishek R]

Main surprises to me would be the lack of 4587 and 865, both had incredible machines.

The list still looks insanely stacked, we are excited to attend!
