I heard a rumor...Scott is cooking??????

Can I assume it will contain trace amounts of beef?

You heard right Scott is cooking the meal and beef is on the menu. I was thinking I could post pictures of the four possible cows that are in line to pay the ultimate price for the IRI and we could vote for which will be invited to dinner with us. Maybe we could assign a cow to certain IRI teams and the one that is with the lost seeded team would take the trailer ride. I am sure this would increase robotic spirit in the pasture field. I can honestly say that the cows have a lack of spirit when it comes to robotics and this could be the cure all.

Just kidding
(I am the cook though)

The students, mentors, and teachers are all on board, and Team 48 would love to attend the IRI again this year if we are given the chance to register.

Scott, do you think I could pass as a 17 year old kid (please refer to disturbingly ugly photo above)? I'd love to get a chance at driving our robot in a somewhat organized scrimmage against the other IRI teams. Our drivers, Frank and Paco, have had too much fun this year - I think it would be great to let all the mentors take their bots for a spin. Maybe we can all sneak into LNHS at 3 AM and head out to the playing field for a battle royale? One can dream, can't he? :-)

Could you imagine an all mentors round after we put the kids to bed? We can only dream though. I can view you as a kid but the 17 thing is a little tuff. Anyways if we were in there at 3am the robot elves would be all honked off if we interrupted their tournament. You know those elves, we wouldn't want to honk them off now would we or we couldn't get our robots built in six weeks. Without having that overnight elf help what would we all do?

You mean David Kelly right??

Maybe there could be matches of team's mentors going up against each other?? 4 adults per team, and it'd be interesting this year w/ the human player factor

hummmm...adults driving robots! this could be interesting and FUN!

[Brandon Martus]

I believe one of the Michigan off-season events has something like this. They have an all-girls event, and then an all-engineer/coach event.

[Amanda Morrison]

I think it's called the 'YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT BETTER?!' event.

... and what an appropriate name that may be...

I think Brandon may be thinking of the Ford Sweet Repeat up in Rochester. I know they have an all-girls competition because we won that and the regular competition in 2001. There may be other competitions with that sort of setup, as well. Sweet Repeat is a good one, though.

we used to do them at mayhem in miami. I rember when we were DJing we put on "Girls" by beastie boys for finals in the all girls matches.
