its not very far from the event, i'm gonna say maybe 30 or 40 mins at most. (i'm completely pulling that number outa nowhere)

Its around 25 miles from the school to the airport and as long as its not rush hour between 5-6:30ish, you should be able to make the loop around I-465 in around in 30 minutes tops

When does registration open up?
I went to IndianaFIRST.org and the website hasn't been updated since late 2004.
Enquiring minds want to know....a least my mind wants to know

Development of the new website is already in progress for a new look and updated content. Please stay tuned for an announcement regarding the 2005 IRI after Championships.

If anybody in the general vicinity of West/Lafayette, Indiana wants to carpool with me for IRI, let me know....I know its early yet, but you can never start soon enough . Also, if anybody else without a team is interested in splitting a hotel room, let me know that too. I guess I technically live close enough to drive back and forth, but with the price of gas, a hotel room is probably going to be more economical. Not to mention more fun!

I missed IRI last year, and it sucked. I'll definitely be there this year!

Team 888 from Glenelg Maryland will be making the 15+ hour trip! Hope to see you all there!

I want to go so bad!!!
But it would be so expensive and I don't have any money or anybody to travel with.

[Lisa Rodriguez]

RAGE is in serious consideration of going and wondering if maybe we brought a crew of 7 or 8 student could we split up and have some housing? minimal needs, like, a place to sleep (floor is good) a place to park the car/motorhome/jeep(depends) and a bathroom......

just preliminary question.....

me=REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to go to IRI

[Jay Trzaskos]

Yeah if anyone has a little extra floor space, that would be awesome!! I can get down their and such, i just need a place to stay. PM me if you have any ideas.
Thanks,
JT

Better idea - if you can't find housing, since many of the Indiana FIRSTers live outside of Indianapolis, I'm creating a threads to help people find hotel-mates, or to see if anyone needs a ride from the airport.

[KathieK]

Yes, if someone who is organizing this can PM me, I have some questions since we've never attended before. Like, can we park the motorhome there or do we need to find a campground nearby? When does registration open? Etc.

[Jay Trzaskos]

I was wondering, since I am not going to IRI with a team, is there anyway my brother and I could volunteer?

Heck yes you can volunteer! At some time in the future, www.indianaFIRST.org will have a way you can submit what you want to volunteer for. In the mean time, you could private message Chris Fultz for more info on that.

I'd like to repeat Wayne's question. When does registration begin, and is there a team list? I just checked indianafirst.org and the site appears to have been dormant for some time.

[Josh Hambright]

IndianaFIRST is working on lots of new content and a complete redesign of the indianafirst.org website. It will be online for the public very soon, a big part of the website will be the continued hosting of the web presence of the IRI robotics competition. Stay tuned for details.

Registration begins on May 16th. Check this new IRI thread for more up-to-date info.

There will not be a team list until after May 16th.
