There was an FTC team this year at Champs that is sponsored by a furniture company and turned their put into a couch lounge. I think they put four couches in the area that was their pit and the empty space behind them.

I'm glad to see 5172 applied! They deserve to be at IRI for sure after their stellar season this year.

Wow, quite a few teams I wanted to see in person aren't on that list this year. Weird.

Me too. IRI will have a strong field this year, but maybe less diverse geographically than it has been in some previous years.

1 team each from Arkansas, California, Israel, Kansas, and Tennessee (5)
2 teams from West Virginia (2)
3 teams each from Colorado, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin (12)
