I'll be there again this summer. Last years event really was well run and quite competitive. Hopefully I'll be on a competiting team this year... if not I'll gladly volunteer to help out again. Hey Dave, know if any more judges are needed?

[Ryan Dognaux]

We're gonna work hard to make it bigger and even better than last year

I'll comment more maybe... after the actual season?

[Chris Hibner]

I'm sure we'll be there. The IRI is my favorite competition of the year.

Just you wait guys... just wait


And what was this I heard last year about people playing Xbox in the early hours of the morning at Lawrence North (IRI Site) on the big projecting screen?? ::dreams of Halo on it::

Yeah, that happened at around 3 or 4 am. I couldnt sleep so i went out in there and watched a while, then clark, kyle, and i walked (i walked around barefoot) around the school till the tv stations showed up. We played basketball in the aux gym and looked at everyones pits and robots

Great fun, I got a little scared when we were wondering around and that janitor "saw" us.lol.... The xbox was cool really big, but we didnt have audio and for some reason it didnt fit right so Halo didnt work well...Hockey was cool though. Although I'm not on a team I'll definetly be back at IRI next year.

yeah, i'm with rob on this one *waves* i'd love to judge or something along those lines. and perhaps i'll convince 1089 to drag themselves up there this summer. w00t! it was quite the experience and i'm looking forward to 2004 as just as good a time =)

I'll be there again, the 2003 IRI was the best competition I've been to. I wouldn't miss the 2004 one for the world. Unfortunatly, I doubt my team will be able to attend because that's a long trip from Florida, but I will definitly do my best convincing to try to get us to go

That depends very heavily on what you will do for me. You know, there is a trade off for this type of deal. I've got to get something out of it too....

Ain't ya guys getting a little ahead? I mean our normal season is in five days. Shouldn't we get through that first?

Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't go to IRI....

No its never too late, teams always like to get dates ahead of time so that they can plan for later on down the line. If this were posted next week then it would have a high chance of getting lost in all the chaos. Put the date out early so that mostly everyone will see it before the real FIRST season starts up. We never stop planning the IRI. Why wait until after the Championships are over in mid April to announce the event, and only give teams 2 + months to think about the date?
