We are already planning some changes and improvements,

Who knows what will happen -
But you might want to stay current on action movies for some
of the ‘non-robot’ events…

We will have a silent auction for a local charity again -
so keep your eyes open for unique FIRST items that you
can donate to such a great cause -

I am pretty positive that 1501 will be there.

Team 25 will most definitely make the 12 hour venture out to Indy again.

4

I enjoyed it there very much last year an dwould like to volunteer again. :cool:

5

Every year I say I will make it to IRI and it never happens. So…consequently…

I will be at IRI unless

  1. I’m in Greece or Spain
  2. I have some college orientation thing to go to
  3. I’m on my deathbed or something
6

Awesome! Now I can start making my college tour plans! I don’t think my team is planning on attending but I’m almost positive i’ll be there.

7

I will be there, I wouldnt miss it again.

Awesome!! :smiley:

If I’m not there, I got the MTU Summer Activities Counselor job and am taking kids hiking/teaching/performing skits/etc. … or dying.

9

I will be there, with Corey and the robot whether they like it or not.

10

I will be at IRI unless

  1. I’m in Greece or Spain
  2. I have some college orientation thing to go to
  3. I’m on my deathbed or something I will be at IRI unless

Ogre and I couldn’t go last year because of reason #1. If I have enough money, I’m coming this year. I’ll ride over with Bharat and Corey if it gets that deperate :wink:

11

Rumor has it that the NERD’s presence will be felt at the 2006 IRI…

Could this be the invasion we have been waiting for?

12

can i go ? :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Horrible excuses Genia, all of them. :wink:

I. Am already. Excited. Because this will not interfere with my trip to Turkey in the least. And as for colleges, well, the way I see it is this: IRI is once per year, college lasts all year. I’m going to have to say that the score for this bad boy is IRI: 1, College: 0.

14

If you want to be added to an IRI email distribution, please send your team name, your name and contact email to [email protected]

Please limit to one contact per team.

We will post info here on CD and the IndianaFIRST web site, but will also email updates to teams that want to get info that way.

:slight_smile:

15

Unless there is some sort of freak occurence… I will be there!

I love the fact that it will once again be on my birthday. (Although I was completely mortified when they dragged me onstage at the talent show and sang for me… lol)

I had such an amazing time last year, and I definitely want to do it again. If my team isn’t there, I will be sure to volunteer. IRI is one of the best run offseason events I have ever attended.

See you all there!

I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO!
But with the fact that my parents laid out $6000 for a new car this year,
(yes, the teal station wagon finally died!)
and the fact that I have to pay them back…
I’m not sure I’ll make it!

But I’ll fundraise if I have to XD
I’m trying to convince 1089 to go anyway!

17

Do I even need to answer this question? I will anyway. Yes, I am going! I will try to never miss it the rest of my life. For those of you who have never been, it is bigger then almost every regional. The teams are all “legends” in their own rights. Every match is high intensity and has a certain feel that can not even be described. It is also fun afterwords. There is normally a talent show and a dinner before it on Friday night, maybe a concert by some crazy people. Hopefully, we can get some dodgeball in this year. But, to any of you considering coming. Come! It will be the most fun you have ever had!

18

I absolutely loved IRI last year… definitely going to try to make the trip again… maybe will be 25’s pit girl again… we’ll see…
Tons of awesome memories from IRI 2005… shaving cream, bawls, ice buckets, glow stick balls, stake and shake, **** wagon, toy bow and arrows and swords, blow up alligators, hotel pool, laser tag, no sleep… just way too much fun. Hope we can get last year’s group together for lots more fun! :slight_smile: See you all there!

19
