Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
Although the information is usually duplicated on the IRI website, a reminder to all invitees to check your spam email filters for IRI communications - our invite email was devoured by my work spam filter.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
Thanks! Ive been sitting here in class just waiting for the announcement. Since we were not able to pay for atl in time, we really wanted to compete at IRI to really show what we are made of and show how gracious our team is toward others and more. I gave it all i had in that application and it turned out to be a winner!!

1923 is looking forward to the IRI. I've gone, personally, every year, but this is the first time for the team. Can't wait!

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
im so nervous!!!! only a few days to go to they announce. If we do get invited though, I hope that we go with a design that was idealized by a close friend of 3119.

Of that list only 56 of those teams were on the initial invite list last year. I'm not sure of those who were on the wait list ended up coming.

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
This message is for any mentors, volunteers, or chaperoned students that may be traveling to IRI from Eastern PA, NJ, NY, MD or DE.
Teams 341 and 365 are sharing a 47 passenger coach bus to IRI and we have about 5 or 6 seats left. If you want to join us, the cost is about $85 round trip. The bus will leave on July 30th at 5 AM from Ambler, PA and return by the early evening on August 2nd. (Ambler is about 30 minutes north of Philadelphia) If you are interested, please send me a PM. Thanks! Al Ostrow |

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
1714's been playing with our robot a lot at demos and stuff, and we're making some changes for IRI. Since we're such a highly anticipated team and all
But we have a little of a dilemma.We have a Long Range Mode now for firing the Empty Cell 6 feet away, so we don't leave ourselves vulnerable for a pin by slamming against the Fueling Station. (We could take off a transmission on a CIM and go 12, but then we overshoot on dumps) Removing the camera will let us hold 1-2 more balls, so we're doing that as like many other teams we never actually used it. We now have a human loading autonomous bringing us from an initial load of 7 balls to 12, and it's fast enough that we can sometimes snag and hold a robot down with it (and hey, balls in the trailer of the opponent by the HP are just as many points as if they were in our robot, right?). The tricky part for us is figuring out how to increase the capacity of our robot even further, in under 6 pounds. The rough idea being thrown around was to make the front "diverter" bay wider, but to do that we'd have to use another motor to make a magic ball unjammer (not too big a deal if we can design it) and cut off signatures by Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers (much bigger deal, but at least Dave Lavery's is safe! ).What changes are you expecting to see robots make at IRI? What are you making? and do you have any advice for us if you know our robot? (personally I bet more than half the teams will autoload) |

Re: 2009 IRI- Who has applied?
We auto load
we haven't made many changes in our system, just sped everything up so we can be even more lethal. it is also fun to look at the team listings too to see who is represented, Michigan is represented well just glancing, i managed to count at least 12 MI teams. that is 1/6 the field coming from the Great Lakes State ^-^ |
