Who's gonna win 2007 IRI invitational

[2056isaac]

Who's gonna win the 2007 IRI invitational? Will it be an alliance of all ramp bots or an all Canadian Team? Post who you think here and we'll see whose right, and whose wrong.

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL IN IRI

[GaryVoshol]

Wouldn't that kinda depend on who gets invited?

[2056isaac]

Of Course, but obviously, if you think that a robot is good enough to win at IRI, that team'll be invited

[Kellen Hill]

I will just say that it won't be who you would expect.

for example last year

[Koko Ed]

This thread will be a bit more relavant in June than now.
By then we'll know who's who and have a good idea who will take the cake.

[Karthik]

I'll be bold and make an early pick.

To quote a wise friend of mine:

"Never bet against Beatty..."

[IndySam]

More importantly, who will win the talent contest?

[J Flex 188]

Don't we know that too well

Failing them for whatever reason, I'm venturing a look northwards . But then again, the biggest mistake in my FIRST career as a student was probably that very pick.

the Indiana Robotics Invitational invitational ????

I once doubted Beatty....just once...then this happened...



...never again will I bet against Beatty

[Richard Wallace]

I'll venture a "pick" (kinda):

Any team wishing to walk away from IRI with a winner's trophy must either pick or be picked by one of the following teams: 71, 111, 148, 1114.

I'll venture another prediction: the winning alliance at IRI will record a match score greater than 400 points.

Hmm....with the Algorithm of Death banished for eternity and the overall higher level of quality among the teams most likely to be invited to IRI, I'd guess that even in the quarterfinals, there will be enough talent and strategic skill on both sides of the rack to keep the scoring balanced. 400 points is a whitewash. I'd definitely predict more 100+ to 100+ scores, though.

Now 400+ during qualifying? You bet.

A match score of 400 will be impossible with the teams in attendance. With the quality of invited teams, both offensive and defensive, I cannot see a row of 8 and 7 plus ramps made by an alliance. The tubes will go up extremely fast though. I could see ar ack with maybe only 1-2 legs left at the end.

One or two legs left? There were occasions of 20 tubes scored at Championship. I think we'll see a full rack at IRI!
