Re: 2015 IRI Invitation List

Can we argue about this years game somewhere else? (maybe in one of the hand full of threads already out there)

Lets try to keep this thread related to the awesomeness of IRI and the teams invited to it.



In other news!
Team 2512 is extremely excited to attend this year and will be our teams first outing at IRI. Cant wait to catch up with other teams as well as meet the ones we haven't yet!

Picking which offseasons to attend is like choosing which regionals/districts to attend. Some teams (359, 341, and 233 come to mind), choose to travel across the country for regionals. Why? Because they believe travelling would benefit their program and the students within it, despite the additional costs of travel. 254's decision to not apply to IRI demonstrates that they believe the costs outweigh the benefits (It's almost like the decision was made by a bunch of engineers). Should they attend other offseason events, it would because the cost benefit analysis comes out with positive results.
Sponsorship is everything. Without it, there is no way we do what we do. The main reason we travel though is due to our location. With only one FRC Event, we feel it's not worth doing FRC if it's just going to be a one weekend thing after all the work put into it.
One could also say it's the building experience that's the most important part, which is absolutely true. But there are tons of other STEM experiences that are much less expensive.

Does anyone know when the deadline to accept is? We are still waiting to tag this trip with either the EP VEX Summit or Air Force Academy teacher training for some of us who want to go to IRI.
Airfares are killer this year too!

If you hold an event in an area that also doubles as a travel destination of sorts you have more incentive to spend the time/money to attend an event. Indiana isn't a bad place to travel to and we all are entitled to our own opinions but it doesn't have the same appeal as attending a regional in Florida or Southern California for us Northerners who need some time in warm weather in the winter.

Even then it is a considerable cost and if you've had a long exhausting competition season some years you need a summer break even if you have one of the top robots of the year.

Re: 2015 IRI Invitation List

Chris, thanks to you and the rest of the team for pulling this together. I'm sure it's tiring and difficult but the efforts are greatly appreciated. 3824 really looks forward to the opportunity to learn from so many great organizations. We'll try to bring the printed Cobra if you have space.

Re: 2015 IRI Invitation List

This is a 5 minute response – too busy for more – so please don’t put more thought into this post than I have

It is GREAT to have highly competitive events in the Midwest and the west coast for the teams who value the competition.

We have not had a chance to experience Chezy Champs but based of feedback from friends it must be a tremendous event and we hope to participate in the future.

We have been fortunate enough to experience the Midwestern warmth and competition of IRI and are eager to do it again this year.

All that said, I think that it might be more constructive if the folks who choose not to travel to participate in one event or the other would aim for a bit higher ground and not belittle the experience, the game, or the events for others.

Just one mans opinion.

Thanks,

Mark

We thought so too ;-) At the moment we're trying to gather the funds to travel to IRI, I'm optimistic, but we should know soon enough

His point is that it's not worth spending a huge pile of money to go across the country for a poor game.

Re: 2015 IRI Invitation List

Chris and Andy,
I am not sure if others are inquiring about this also, but I sent an email yesterday concerning shipping quotes to and from North Lawrence HS or AM.
We will need that in order to finalize trip documentation on our end before officially accepting.
