Sorry to interrupt the couch discussion for something boring, but there must be something big going on in Indy the same weekend as IRI 2016. (Too lazy to go look now.) I had a lot of trouble finding double hotel rooms at a reasonable price nearish the new venue. The hotel we have stayed in every year is completely booked. I don't think it is FRC teams. And this is a little earlier than I usually book. To be fair, I am picky.

But I would encourage you to go ahead and find something. If FRC 16 doesn't get selected, I will auction off my 7 nice rooms.

Cheers,

Meredith

If Bomb Squad somehow doesn't get in I will eat my cheesehead.*
*No I will not actually eat my cheesehead. Trust me, the foam would taste terrible, and they get absolutely disgusting. I would, however, be very suprised/upset.

If hotel rooms are scarce, that couch is starting to look more important.

Black Expo Summer Celebration is going on that weekend. It's a pretty big event but there should be plenty of hotel rooms available.

I actually started looking in the week between MAR Champs and world's and I couldn't find any either. I didn't want to take a bus but we might have to because I will need a charter bus the entire weekend to get back and forth to the venue. There is nothing within reasonable cab distance available. Assuming we are lucky enough to be selected. My students already sleep in our pit normally so I will just bring a few more "boulder" pillows.

MN teams that applied: 2052, 2175, 2502, 2823, 3130, 4215, 4536, 4607, 5172. I'd say we have a good bunch of teams that applied this year from MN.

I'm also glad to see our Carson division alliance partners 3538 apply as well.

[Ben Martin]

Here's what I have for team counts by state/province/country:

1: AK, CT, NH, KS, TN, WV, GA, Israel
2: ME, CA
3: CO, WI, MO
4: OH, FL

6: PA, VA, IL
7: NY, NJ, TX

9: ON, MN

17: IN

29: MI

Comparing this application field versus the 2014 application field, the middle 50% looks a little deeper in terms of competitiveness. If the same number of teams is invited as last year, there are going to be some strong robots that don't make it in. I count at least 105 of the 135 that were a finalist or winner in at least one event this year, and at least 55 of the teams were a finalist or a winner in at least 2 events.

[Anthony Galea]

If I'm counting right, there are 29 FiM teams applying: 27, 33, 67, 68, 107, 217, 226, 245, 494, 503, 548, 573, 910, 1023, 1250, 1684, 1718, 2337, 2767, 2771, 3175, 3357, 3538, 3620, 3641, 4967, 5460, 5907, and 5980

Bold = winner of 2015 IRI, will be accepted

Good luck to all teams that applied!

[Pauline Tasci]

Such a small amount of CA teams

You missed Georgia. I think we (1746) are the lone Georgia team to apply.

And then there's the robots whose capabilities surpass their elimination performances (looking at you, 2791).

We are interested in the new venue.

Hopefully there is enough room fo-ah the Corn and a few couches.
