2007 Indiana Robotics Invitational

[Grant Cox]

Wow... this is going to be awesome. This'll be my first IRI event, and reading the pdf definitely got me excited! This event will truly be how Rack N' Roll was designed to be played (or should have been)

I love how the rules have been modified to a way that all but eliminates all the gray areas and touchy subjects (such as removing a ringer under a robot on the ramp, descoring). The keeper bonus should definitely have been in the original rules, and words can't express how glad I am that the algorithm is gone

I also love how the awards on the pdf almost mocked some of the ways that organized events (not just FIRST) try to quantify their judging processes. "Definition and criteria for the word 'awesome' will be at the judges' discretion"



I lived in Illinois for two years.. should be able to come up with some corn references....... yeah I got nothin.
