Regrettably 254 will not be able to attend the IRI in 2008. We look forward to returning in 2009.

That's a big downer. Having 254 at an event always increases quality of play.

On the bright side, this means that team 832 should move into IRI off the waitlist. I can't wait to see Oscar the Grouch take the field at IRI!

I could hardly contain myself every time 832 drove around the Newton field. There's just something about that robot that brings a smile to my face and makes me laugh whenever I see it.

I just completed our registration so team 832 Chimera and Oscar the Grouch will be at the IRI! Thanks for the kind words; sorry that the Poofs had to drop out, but we are happy to go. See you there!

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

It took me five seasons to be able to say it, but as of about 3:30 PM this afternoon...

I'M GOING TO IRI!

Time to see how you Midwesterners put on a show.

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

A small crew from 987 will be staying at the Hilton near the hospital. I was looking at a satelite view of the school and was wondering if there is a shortcut walk through the north fence line by the baseball fields...it would be nice to walk "as the bird flies"...

I'm sorry to hear that. A few of us from 910 sat behind you guys on Galileo and were really impressed by your robot. I was hoping to see you guys at IRI.

Yes, there will be a full practice field in the fieldhouse (where most of the pits are). However... this practice field will also be the playing field for the pre-rookie challenge. There will be 3 hours on Friday and 1 hour on Saturday morning that the Pre-Rookie Challenge will take place on this field, and competing teams will not be able to practice.

Also, during some of the practice times, there will be a demonstration of the 2009 FRC Control System, presented by FIRST engineering.

The tentative schedule for the practice field is this:

Friday
11:00am-1:00pm: practice
1:00-2:00pm: Pre-Rookie Challenge
2:00-3:00pm: practice
3:00-4:00pm: Pre-Rookie Challenge
4:00-5:00pm: practice
5:00-6:00pm: Pre-Rookie Challenge

Saturday
8:00-10:00am: practice
10:00-11:00am: Pre-Rookie Challenge
noon: disassemble field

Practice time and a practice are has never been a priority for the IRI. The reason is that teams have many weeks of practice to get ready for IRI, as opposed to a in-season FIRST competition when you uncrate your robot and must get ready to play during your scheduled time.

We hope that this sharing of the practice field will be good for the competing teams and the pre-rookie teams.

This practice field will not have electronics. Also, it is a wooden field with a lighter-weight overpass than the regular FIRST field. With that said... it is still an awesome practice field and I predict that people will enjoy using it.

Andy
