We learned, and next time will have more "spare" robots on the field to make full matches.

It's always something, ain't it!

If you use James Kiefer's radio programming utility next year, get a list of the security keys from him (it's easy - he keeps them in a text file sorted by team number) and have teams program their key into their routers. We went wireless on the practice field all weekend.

I would just like to say thank you on the behalf of our team to everyone that made this great event possible. Only the greatest volunteers and organizers could have possibly made this event run so well. It was tons of fun and I am sure we will be seeing everyone next year.

I had a completely awesome time making new friends and playing with amazing teams.

Also, thank you to 832, 1771, and 179 for being great alliance partners and for making it such a cooperative alliance.

On behalf of Team 341, I wanted to say what a great time we had at IRI.

We really enjoyed the incredible afternoon of playoff matches, the dinner on Friday, the talent show, and getting to meet the awesome teams that attend. All of the IRI volunteers were very friendly and ready to help.

You certainly don't need me to tell you that you run a great event, but as the organizer of an off-season competition myself, I recognize the tremendous work that goes into such an event. I salute everyone involved.

So we just wanted to thank you to Chris, Andy, Team 234, Team 45, and Team 1024 for inviting us. Our kids had a blast and hopefully we will see you again next year!
