Ok so it is 7:02 and i have completed my volunteer registeration for IRI 2004, summer FIRST road trips here i come!

[Kevin Kolodziej]

From the IRI Event Manual:

"Round 5 is planned as a “TURNABOUT” match. Drivers and Human players
MUST be over 21 and cannot have been a high school student driver or human
player on a FIRST team."


I am dubbing this "The Anti-Kevin" rule ....not that it matters since i'm not 21 yet and 1064 (sadly) won't be attending the IRI.

Still, way to go and dash my hopes of ever coming out of retirement!

Kev

P.S. You better believe I'm already registered to volunteer!

[Mike Schroeder]

What if you are noticably taller than most 21 year olds? does that count

Team 81 and 135 are now registered for the 2004 IRI. We are up to 52 teams with 8 spots remaining. Register at http://indianafirst.org

Is there a master list of all the teams signed up so far? Just thought it'd be interesting to see who the competition is, as we've never attended before!

2004 IRI Competing Team List

[Meredith Rice]

If we dont pay by the 15th will we still be able to attend? I ask this because I noticed there is not a wait list and still 8 open spots.

I was also wondering how teams traveling quite a distance are getting their robot there. We were trying to hook up with 222 for a bus ride to IRI but this would leave us without a car to take Burnie in.

There is no waiting list, but we have to commit to food service, trophies, shirts, and other items for the tournament this week - these things are all funded from registration fees. Many have to be paid for before the event and without the registration $$ there is not enough cash to do that.

It is important to confirm which teams will be here, and the best way to do that is by the registration deadline.

If you have a problem with the 15th deadline, PM me and we can chat.

Don't forget many of the special awards have deadlines for submittal of
June 30.

Details can be found in the main document or the two supplements.

The deadlines are critical to give the judges time to do their work!

Is IRI going to be broadcast on NASA TV or something to that effect this year?

Unforturnately this year we are not going to be able to have a webcast. We do plan on digitizing all the matches and getting them up online, however. So stay tuned for that.

[jgannon]

Are you at least going to have live results on the website?
