IRI - Registration, Plans, Changes for 2010

[yodameister]

Whether 2791 is invited or not (I will be there either way), I am assuming that any help offered to set up will be accepted?

[haye321]

Sorry, I'm a little confused, do teams need to be there on the 15th or the 16th?

[ATannahill]

Will the information for the application be the same as last year?

[Sunshine]

Team 2062 will be applying. It would be our first time at the event.

Yes, definitely. There will be a way for volunteers to send an email on the same site as registration. Thank you for your willingness to help.

Most teams show up during the morning of the 16th. Some show up on the evening of the 15th, just to put stuff in their pit. Matches will start at 11:00am. We do have a few practice matches between 9-11:00, first come, first serve.

The reason why the TechnoKats have this listed as the 15th, 16th, and 17th is because many of the team members spend all day on the 15th setting up for the event on the 16th and 17th, as they assist with running the event.

Sincerely,
Andy

Ok thanks for the clarification

[Jeremiah Johnson]

I'll be there for 4th straight year!

If all goes as planned (and 2791) I will try to travel with them to IRI

Otherwise 1771 will be adopting me if they go.

Same here, except I'd probably be adopted by a different 17xx team in addition to volunteering. Man, I sure hope it all goes as planned...

Either way, there will be a ton of 2791 representation at IRI; I think 2 or 3 students are planning on volunteering if they don't get in in addition to the aforementioned others.

I believe that we may be able to accommodate you. Glad to have you along!

[Karibou]

I'm so excited that I can finally attend this year I won't be with a team, so I'll be either wandering around aimlessly or volunteering (still undecided, but I'm heavily learning towards volunteering).

With 4-team alliances, how will the field look at the start of the match? Where's the 4th bot going?

The fourth team is the permanent back-up. It can be used at the Alliance Captain's discretion.

[kjolana1124]

Our team's applying, but I'm planning on going even if our team doesn't.

Any team ever wanted to claim their own Starr?[/lamepunsftw]

[JaneYoung]

I think we should have IRI Orphan Adoption tee shirts:
Please adopt me as a member of your team for the weekend.

And all the orphans should gather for a Talent Show entry. What could go wrong?

Well, you've already got the 2791 shirt... If you show up there completely stranded, you're welcome to say hi and chat and cheer.

Any chance of a mentor tournament this time around? If I ask nicely enough I bet I could get behind the glass somehow.
