Andy will be quitting his job at Delphi and working AndyMark full time. As part of that, he will be reducing his involvement with 45, which led to the emotions.
Correct.
Also, most importantly, it was a heartfelt thank you to all of my friends, teammates and AndyMark customers who have supported Mark and me in this effort to build up our company to the point where I can make this move.
I will craft a formal announcement on this website soon, along with a lengthy IRI thank you post.

I have been scouring the internet high and low. I am looking for an official list of team rankings at IRI, and those that competed in finals and the finalist lists. Is there somewhere that I can locate this?
IRI Elimination Round Alliances (Post #379 Girard Robocats edition):
1 def. 8
2 def. 7
6 def. 3
4 def. 5
2 def. 6
4 def. 1
4 def. 2
I don’t think there’s a complete list of rankings yet but I believe Mark Koors is going to download that information from the field scoring computers.
Don’t you remember, we’re all winners… 
177 wasn’t actually on the field, 910 was
I am just floored by all of the reports from IRI. It is obvious that there is a great mix of spirited teams and careful planning that goes into this event. I only hope that we can attend someday.Congratulations to all of the participating teams.
I also wanted to wish Andy well as he moves forward with his new venture. We our loyal A-M customers and will support AndyMark in every way possible.
I had been looking forward all year to go to IRI, and I’m so sad that I couldn’t make it. 
Sounds like it went really well; I wish I could have been there!
I would like to thank the champions and all the other teams we played with and against for the best competition I’ve ever had the privilege of driving in, it was a complete blast! Theres a few i would like to say something more specifically to…
Mark (blue haired announcer in eliminators) - for pushing us onto the stage and inspiring us to go for it, and for just about all other amazing tidbits of advice this season.
111 - Thank you SO MUCH for the use of your equipment for the talent show and the encouragement you gave the other two and I to get up on stage and embarass ourselves! We had the most fun ever playing on that stage.
71 & 1902 - It was so awesome to play with both of you, and i hope it will happen again in the future.
If anyone who went or performed in the talent show, we found a CD player that doesn’t belong to us. Contact me with a description if you think it’s yours.
Is there any chance that all the matches of the IRI were video taped and avialable for those who weren’t there to see what sounds like the most amazing event of the season??
piling on
Yes - I thought various people were working on chopping up and publishing IRI match videos. Any success? Many who weren’t in attendance have asked me about this.
thats good, cause I would love to see them! I hear that it was as good as the championships (some of the matches) and the only match I can find was the 6 keeper match, and I have watched that too many times lol
