2005 IRI Thank you's and Congrats

[AmyPrib]

Well, I can't say much more thanks than everyone else has already expressed..... but..

Thanks Andy for allowing me to Ref my first event... I've done my fair share of complaining about ref calls, but I actually went out there and put myself in their shoes to see what it's like. It can be tough at times, but it was a lot of fun if you're prepared. You might see me reffing in the future..

Thanks to everyone at the scoring table - you made it look like there were no problems!! Cuz.. there... were none.. yeah.. .

Thanks to Amanda and Lavery for the entertainment - with a little more focus, will, and practice, Amanda might be able to hang.

Thanks to everyone who provided scholarships, and congratulations to those who received them...

Thanks to the volunteers of course, for their continuous hard work on and off the field.

Thanks to the coordinating teams for putting on such an awesome event year after year. It's amazing that teams travel so far just to be included in this off-season event.

Thanks to the announcer's and MC's - it wouldn't be quite as fun without you.. Paul - next time review and practice those names.

Thanks to the judges who gave their time to be involved.
Thanks for the VEX tournament.. I only saw bits and pieces, but what an amazing group of robots - some built in a day or less.
Thanks to all the teams who traveled from near and far to create such a great environment.
Thanks to 217 for the breakfast...
Thanks to all those involved in the talent show - some very cool acts, some very talented kids, and some very wacky judges.
Oh, and by the way, congratulations to the winners and all those who made it into the final rounds... With the caliber of teams at IRI, you definitely deserved to be there....
Hope to see you all in 2006!
