2009 IRI- Who has applied?

[OZ_341]

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.

[Akash Rastogi]

Woot! East Coast is SO well repped here.

How long does it take to get from the IRI venue to the Indianapolis airport? Got an, erm, important date early the following day...

[Wetzel]

1884 has made the final decision not to go. We were extremely happy to be accepted, but we did not fully budget for the trip, and with next years funding uncertain, the team decided to roll the money over to next year and plan to raise additional funding from the outset for a second event next year.

That said, I think I will still be there with my wife.

It's been ~30-45 min for me the last 2 years, depending on traffic.

New airport terminal open - entrance moved several miles west, PLUS MUCH construction on Indy highways currently. DEFINITELY allow at least 45 minutes travel time from Lawrence North (depending on time of day/traffic).

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances team 1155 will not be able to attend.

[Jon Jack]

When will we get another list of registered teams?

[sgreco]

I'm getting a little nervous, because none of the world champions are on that list, I hope 111 and 67 still intend to go.

So as the applications roll in and I suddenly realize I have little better to do with my free time, I'm working on assembling an "IRI Book" of teams chock full of information on them that I've gathered through TBA / FIRST / etc. Here's what I have so far as a sample with my own team's information. Is this a good idea? If I get enough interest, I'll compile it for all 72 teams.

Any suggestions for additional fields of information? If there's enough interest and you've changed something and want it reflected in the book, PM me. (also if stuff like ball capacity isn't easily findable for your team's robot PMing me would be nice, again if there's interest in the thread for this book)

In a word, yes. Whether you elect to publish the end result or not.

Nice, clean format.

Nice ...

I suggest adding an entry for traction control (Y/N) - maybe to include type?
Also (as part of drivetrain?) steering - tank, crab/swerve, ackerman, etc ...

That is awesome. Oh and the Crystal bot is really sweet! I am assuming it is all Polycarb right?
