Hey Queue Boss,

I 'need' an hour off for a NEM meeting. I don't know when it is or where it is but I know I 'need' to be there. If you say no, can I call in sick for 1 hour? Am I helping with the chaos thing so far? I want to be sure and do a good job.

After reading the match list I have a few conclusions to draw:

1. This is 1501's event to shine in after bad luck this season. I would be shocked if they didn't make Top 8.
2. 469's playing in the last match. The entire Top 8 will depend on the results.
3. 1086 and 1714 never meet in qualifications, so no epic cheese battles.

Oh god. Just like the MSC qualifications. O.o

[Josh Drake]

There was a lot of hype in Atlanta about Curie match 100. What matches stand out on this list? I know all 8 matches are going to be epic for every team, but for our team match 68 stands out a little more.
This is going to be a blast!

Personally as a member of 2337, I am looking forward most to match #15, where we are on a team with 1114 and 292 vs. 148, 503, and 1741.

If the qualification match schedule has to be updated Friday morning, will the updated schedule be posted for those of us at home?

These are outstanding questions.

Chris: no, unless (dare I say...) we have to re-create the match schedule. At this point, I believe that the only way we would have to do that is due to a team simply not showing up.

If we do re-run the match schedule, I will make sure everyone knows it at IRI with multiple announcements, and I will also upload it to the IRI website. Let's hope that does not happen.

I am saddened that Joe won't be at IRI. We will miss you, Joe!

I never could tell you what bot could do what. So, is there any chance of a double suspension at iri? If yes ,which match?

[Josh Drake]

I think some teams were making arrangements to suspend robots from their robot, so we may just have to see what people show up with.

Will we have another 6 keepers match of 2007?

If not 2 suspended robots, maybe 6 or 12 scored in autonomous!!!

[Jeremy Germita]

Personally, I look forward to watching Qualifications match 12.
1501, 469, 399 v 2081, 330, 1675
3 of my favorite 'bots on one alliance!

Perhaps I'm far, far behind the loop, but is there no uncrating / setup on Thursday?

I stand corrected. Either way, I can't wait for that match!

Checking over our eight qualification matches, there is never an opportunity to have a double suspension (I'm assuming you mean two robots hanging off of a third). However, there's always eliminations, like at TARDEC where we had 201 and 2619 on an alliance with us!

[Chris is me]

Thanks for the help. When I checked yesterday, the schedule page didn't mention Thursday. Now of course when I find out when uncrating is my plans change and they don't apply to me anymore

I guarantee a 6 point auto will happen at IRI. 5 was achieved a lot, and the main difference between 5 and 6 is sheer dumb luck.

Excited for IRI!!
