Seems like it's going to be fun.
Ken,

This is very nice of you to say. Thank you.

All,

There are soooo many people that make the IRI happen... I am just one of many.

The event is coordinated and led by Scott Ritchie of team 234. Libby Ritchie (Scott's wife) is co-leading the event and doing the lion's share of the detail work. Chris Fultz of Rolls-Royce is leading a parents group from 234 who will be feeding all of the teams on Friday night. David Kelly has done a great job in getting Kenny and SOAP to broadcast the IRI. Paul Osborne (393) and Mike Carmain (45) are coordinating all electrical work.

Ken Leung is riding in on his white horse to save the day and conduct the computerized scoring for the event. Robert Chiavaglia (247, 1034, 1035) is bringing down the ComauPico machine-shop-on-wheels.

Also, the facility where we will be playing not only is hosting the event, but also coordinating all of the concession stand food (at a good value to all)... and they are a rookie FIRST team! Thanks to team 1024 - the MegaBytes for this great support.

Also... we have two great engineers who will be announcing and M/C-ing on the field. Dan Green (Wildstang team leader) will be the announcer and Paul Copioli (Thunderchickens team leader) will be the M/C. We are all excited to see what Dan and Paul have cooked up to help entertain us all... now that their talents will be broadcast over the internet, I am sure that they will "kick it up a notch".

There are many others involved. Many people have volunteered their time as crew members, referees and judges. It is really neat to see everyone pitching in to make this thing work. People are riding buses, road tripping in cars, and flying in on planes to help. I am proud to just be a part of it, really.

Andy B.
