hummmm...adults driving robots! this could be interesting and FUN!

[Brandon Martus]

I believe one of the Michigan off-season events has something like this. They have an all-girls event, and then an all-engineer/coach event.

[Amanda Morrison]

I think it's called the 'YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT BETTER?!' event.

... and what an appropriate name that may be...

[Andrew Rudolph]

we used to do them at mayhem in miami. I rember when we were DJing we put on "Girls" by beastie boys for finals in the all girls matches.

I think Brandon may be thinking of the Ford Sweet Repeat up in Rochester. I know they have an all-girls competition because we won that and the regular competition in 2001. There may be other competitions with that sort of setup, as well. Sweet Repeat is a good one, though.

[Chris Fultz]

I think an "Adult Only" series of matches is now on the agenda for the IRI.

We will have student referees......

[Ryan Dognaux]

I would glady volunteer to be a referee for this! Wow, I'm glad I remembered that from Sweet Repeat (I think)... seems like people really like the idea of it

[Allison]

i don't know about letting our adults drive they might break it. that is unless i break it first.

Depends on how much the college students are willing to pay the organizing committee (Andy / Libby / Me).

Maybe matches for anyone that is not on a high school team. That way we won't rob the teams of toooo many matches.

Yep at the FSR last year, I think they scheduled the all-girls matches and as well as a Mentors competition. But I think the Mentor's one actually got cancelled due to time... That was a bummer.. but it'll be great if they try it again this year!
