Good adjustments to the rules, well thought-out.

I did not see any mention of the 5 lbs grace, the selection process and the carry your own spare that have been part of the past years.

Are all of those still in place for 2010?

Yes, since there is no inspection and no scales, the 5 pound grace rule is still in effect. Teams are expected to use GP to enforce this upon themselves.

Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

Here are a few more updates:

Rules tweaks are listed here. There are no significant changes. We will have the 1-8, 1-8, 8-1 alliance selection process with 4 teams on each elimination alliance, with the alliance captain choosing who plays in each match (same as 2008, 2009 IRI). Seriously, FIRST and the GDC did an excellent job with the rules this year. The adjustments at IRI are simply tweaks and appropriate changes that we can do due to the depth of the competing field.

WPA encryption: Teams will not need to get WPA encryption code. Teams will simply need to be sure that their team number is addressed on their Classmate and their cRIO.

Practice Field: The fieldhouse will again have the wooden border practice field. Teams will simply run their robots on this field like they would at a demo, wirelessly.

120 Volts AC will be provided at the playing field driver stations for Classmate power as needed.

For Friday morning practice matches on the main field, please limit your team to one match only. With 79 teams attending, we will most likely NOT get all teams the ability to have one practice match, but we will have as many matches as we can.

Are you guys keeping the ranking system used this year or are you using the "old" W-L-T system?

The ranking system used in the 2010 Breakaway game is the same that we are using at IRI.

2 reasons:

1. After some frustration at the beginning of the year, many people grew to like this system (besides the fact that it is complex).

2. There would need to be a MAJOR software change to get the 2010 field management system to incorporate a different ranking system. This is the main reason we did not even consider making this change.

Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

Do I have to actually use the layout for loading teams off and on the field?
That system would work with other years but it won't work for this year.

Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

Ed,

Good question. Here is the conversation I had with Mark Koors today, about this:

Andy: Mark, it's ok that we split the scoring table and video production table so that teams can exit the field in from the middle zone, right?

Mark: No, there is no middle zone gate on that side of the field. Teams just need to leave the field through the closest gate to them.

Andy: Teams can't leave the field on the same side that they entered. That would be baaaad, right?

Mark: That would require teams to push robots over bumps. I can't get a 6 minute cycle if robots are being pushed over bumps.

Andy: Hmmm... what if they pushed the robots over the bumps quickly?

Mark: No

Andy: So, what should we do?

Mark: Teams need to be able to leave the field whichever side they choose, but if they can leave on the scorer's table side, that is preferred.

Andy: OK

So, to answer your question, Ed, you que-ers will just need to follow Mark's lead on this.

Andy

Mark can't add a gate to that side too?

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.

Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

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.

Re: 2010 IRI: Match List, Facility Layout and Website Update

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!
