Oh, we would love to apply, but it's just not in the cards for this year...

Hopefully next year!

[Jared Russell]

What an incredible list of teams! I don't envy the task that Andy and Chris have before them...

[Rob Colatutto]

Team 1622 has also applied for the IRI. This would be the teams first time submitting for entry.

I know the feeling--we've decided to pass as well. (No money budgeted, plus no school representative, the lion's share of our kids off doing other things...)

Next year, though, I will renew the push to bring some chicken up to balance out the pork.

It was possible for your team to raise the money. All it takes is a team effort. Fundraising was our main method of raising money since we only had one sponsor at that time. Too bad we didn't raise enough for ATL but it could have worked for your team.

I count 20 Indiana teams. That means we're missing 10. As state hosts, I believe we need a perfect 30/30 attending to welcome our out-of-state (and country) brethren and sistren(?).

do indiana teams get a automatic invite if they apply?

The Early Career teams do!

Seriously, the methods the IRI staff use to decide who to invite and who not to invite is a closely guarded secret, and it often changes year-to-year.

I would expect that would change when atleast the Indiana team,135 (finalist), applies

1507 will apply today after school! I hope we make it!

If anybody tried to register for IRI this morning, you may have received a message saying not more applications will be accepted. This was a mistake. I had inadvertantly put the incorrect time to close the form. Registration will close today at 6:00pm. Please don't wait until the last minute to sign up! Email us at pc [at] indianaroboticsinvitational.org if you have any probmems.

Thanks,
