Psst... Don't tell anyone, but Devastator, their twin, is coming, or rather, on the list.

Assuming that a team has accepted the invitation on time to be in the first 72 teams completing the process, when would you be notiifed that you are officially on the list?
I saw from the registration info that the acceptance phase ends on May 22nd and that the list is frozen in July, but it does not say when you will be notified of your final status.

I just don't want to tell the kids we are in and then be wrong.

Thanks in advance to anyone answering this question.

Man, I was going to wait until our team meeting tonight to get the information to fill out the acceptance form, but I'm super nervous that by waiting 18 hours all of the spots will be taken . What's a troubled IRI rookie to do?

The thing that really matters is when your check gets in. Accepting the form right now doesn't get you into the top 72-it's only half the equation.

We will post an update of teams that are fully registered on Monday night (18th).

Team 1094, the River City Robots Channel Cats, and Fish Boy are disappointed about not making the cut this year. We really enjoyed the competition for the last three years. There is always next year.

There are some awsome teams and robots on the list. Good luck to all!

Speaking of twins any idea what happened with the Martian Twins?

In the first post quoted 494 applied but not 70 as of May 7th. In the invitation post, 70 is invited but not 494. 70 was the more accomplished twin in terms of FiM points but obviously they have the same robot and both teams were at IRI 08.

I am wondering:
A. Did both teams apply? (seems likely)
B. Is this a trend where IRI is getting more selective and can't take both twin robots of the collaborating teams? (not necessarily a bad thing, as Jane says, IRI covers a broad scope of FIRST)

1923 filled out the acceptance form at midnight, and according to UPS our check should be in tomorrow morning at 10:30.

As excited as I am for competition, the emotion running through my head is pride. I'm extremely proud of the students on 1923 (as captain, and the one who does all the organizational work, I'm referred to more often as 'team mommy' than a student) for all the hard work they put in this season. I hope the mentors, teachers, and students on all the other invited teams are just as proud to be recognized for their efforts. Y'all did it! Congratulations.

Payment hand delivered first thing this morning ...

[dwaynetrip3119]

Wow so many teams have already sent their payment. I really hope that my administrator can pay in time. I put so much into this not for my team to go.

Hey, how many teams have put in payment? I really don't want 2970 to be kicked off the list either...

Thanks Chris! We are really looking forward to playing with the "Big Kids".

[OZ_341]

We are also offering the loan of our 2009 twin and full technical support to any pre-rookie team that wants to compete in the early career event.
We will work with the event organizers and follow their lead in selecting a worthy organization. We sincerely hope that organizations take advantage of the nice opportunity that the early career event provides.
