I made this with pictures from previous IRI events, it's a bit messy because I was just making sure the computer was working but Kevin told me I had to put it up anyways. Thank you for the pictures! I'll make an after IRI one as well

Renee, I love it!

The music is great and the pictures you used had me laughing out loud. Great job.

[Rupnick]

Y did you have you use all the pics that make me look stupid lol that was awesome!

Just checked the NASA TV schedule...

IRI will be broadcast on the Public and Education channels on Saturday from 9 to 5 (Eastern). Awesome!

(I'm just not used to waking up at 6AM on a Saturday...)

Good luck to all teams attending, by the way.

IRI Volunteers should have been notified via email about the volunteer assignements. I beleive there was a problem with email forwarding this year and I may not have received everyone's request. If there were people interested in volunteering who did not recieve and email from me confirming their assignement, please let me know ASAP and I will add you to the list.

Thanks and can't wait to see you all this week!

SOAP won't personally be there. But if someone can provide the videos to us, I am sure I can bug Matt to put them up. =)

[Ryan Dognaux]

The matches will be recorded at the very least, I don't know if someone is going to be uploading them immediately but they should be uploaded eventually.

Also, if you're interviewed during the event on camera, don't worry too much about it. We're trying a gameday style coverage where we'll produce a few videos throughout the day and play them, and also pick the top 5 plays of the day. Stay tuned.

I am going to send the list to Greg Marra to be put on TBA later that night, or throughout the day if I can get internet access.

Question about SOAP and Webcast:

I will be attending the IRI event and can provide the SOAP video recordings and upload them to the web. However, I haven't heard anything about a webcast. Is there going to be one? If not, is there a demand for one and should I also provide that as well? You guys let me know. Thanks.

Just wanted to let everyone know that 341, 217 & 122 will be showing matches from IRI at the Farnborough International Air Show in the UK this coming weekend.

Hopefully IRI will inspire a whole new genration of FIRST teams in the UK for 2009.

Don't want to take the thread off topic, so if you want to learn more about Farnborough the link is here

Just thought you might want to know that we will be watching over in England. Good luck to all of the teams at IRI this weekend.
