Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

I would like to thank teams 67, 330, and 987 for picking us to be your backup bot for IRI and giving us our second Championship win there. I wish we could have done more than provide charged battery(s) but congratulations and good job to the #5 alliance of 1024, 1126, and 1625, those where the most fun elimination matches I can remember.

Quarterfinal 2 - We are called up to play for 16, no significant mishaps - we win

Semifinal 1 - Bomb Squad back in action, but 1114 loses thier radio about 3 sec into hybrid, The Bomb Squad and 2056 make a valiant attempt but are unable to stop the Kilobyte led blue alliance...

Semifinal 2 - 2056 never moves - loose battery lug turns up to the the culprit, great performance by both sides with over 200 points scored and a margin of victory of less than 10 - with no penalties, even with the blue alliance power play. Great match!

On behalf of 1038, I would like to thank the Bomb Squad, Simbotics, and 2056 for allowing us the opportunity to play in the IRI eliminations - very cool for our kids. Until next year....
We knew we had a tough job ahead in our quarterfinals against the #1 alliance, and that was born out as we were defeated handily in spite of 2056 and 16's problems. Then, number 1's bad luck continued. You guys gave the superb 1024-1126-1625 alliance a good fight in the semis while one robot down in each match.

As usual, IRI provided the best competition of the season. Congrats to the winning #2 alliance, and to everyone who helps make IRI the great event that it has become. Also, thanks to Team 141 for inviting us to your alliance.

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

This was my most memorable IRI yet, with our incredibly lucky takedown of the #1 alliance, the delphi driving tomorrows technology award, and coming home with a scholarship.

Our alliance had its own set of issues as in our first quarterfinals match we had to play our awesome backup bot (1731) because 1024 randomly lost a side of there drive in pre match testing. Then we had a motor randomly cut out (the one that steers the wheels) basically immobilizing us. The motor cut out again in the second finals match which if it hadn't we could've gotten 4 more points for the win and taken it to a 3rd match.

this was my last IRI as a student on the team, and i dropped my base driver position to become coach, which i'll be continuing.

thanks to the Ref's thanks to the volunteers and thanks to the teams for making it the funnest event ever

Great job everyone, IRI was a really tough competition! Well first of I would like to thank our alliance partners 330, 67, and 68!

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

IRI was amazing, lots of good teams and plenty of fierce competition, the event really lived up to it's reputation "where the egos come to play"

The qualification matches were all exciting, there must have been a powerhouse in each of those matches. We lost one, but was able to win the rest and make it to second seed, our first pick was Beach Bots, who we were world champs with in 05, and I was hoping to repeat that good teamwork here in 08 at IRI. 987 was our 2nd pick and truck was out 3rd, I was sure we had a great alliance, but couldn't wait to see it matched up against all the other amazing alliance for an epic eliminations!!!

Our quarterfinal match against the Killer Bees and Foley Freeze gave us a run for our money. The second match our battery wasn't plugged in all the way and when we hit the divider wall in autonomous we lost power. The third match gave us a run for our money and we came out on top by 4 points!!!

Our semi final match was a bit easier, I was confused when instead of hurdling Rush kinda just sat on our ball. Especially since they were hurdling like crazy on their last qualification matches, I figured they would be the main offensive bot of the alliance.

The Finals was quite epic, although we didn't face the fierce and powerful alliance of 16/1114, the three hurdler alliance led by 1625 put up some heavy points and made us sweat. I though for sure we were going to be gearing up for a 3rd finals match, but it was a close match and we came out with the win by only 2 points!!

I was disappointing to see Bomb Squad and Simbotics taken down in the semis, but relieved at the same time. Bad luck happens to everyone, and luck just didn't follow 1114 for this event.

IRI was fantastic.

This isn't a surprise to me, I just like saying it. There's really not much else that can be said.

Congrats also to the three FRC 234 Cyber Blue allies who earned the IRI Overdrive Simulation Runner Up honors and pushed Wildstang to do their best.

With a 5th Gear virtual Overdrive score of 234 , they are now our reigning 2008, IRI, 5th Gear, World Champions.

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

I'd like to start off with thanking all of the volunteers, Indiana teams, and everyone else who made this amazing event possible.

I would also like to thank team 171 for asking us to play with them, and also teams 93 and 292 for being amazing partners as well. I can honestly say that without the help we received from all of our partners that we would not have been able to return to the field after our alliance took our time out. It was a blast playing with all of you guys.

Just before we went on the field for our second match, I personally tested our arm controls after the rest of the robot was checked over, and everything seemed to be in working order, but during hybrid, our upper arm joint didn't stay down because it wasn't powered. Without the use of our arm, we couldn't acquire balls, so we were forced to go on the defensive while our partners went on offense. It turns out that somewhere between the sidelines and the field, one of our pwm cables came out.

Congratulations to 1024 and their alliance on the upset of the #1 alliance. Also, congratulations to 330, 67, 987, and 68 on your win

Re: 2008 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)

The 2008 IRI was a great time and a class act as always. I went without the team this year as a spectator and was glad I got to go. Thanks first of all to Mr.Chris Fultz who makes IRI great year in and year. As well as so many others Andy Baker, all the parents who make the event go smoothly, the volunteers, refs and all the teams. I got to meet many new people and spend time with good friends well worth it. Not to mention the finals matches were as usual some of the best of the year. Excellent job again this year and I look forward to making the trip back to Indy next year hopefully with the whole 1251 squad.
