2008 IRI Invitation List

Competition Off-Season Events
1

Below is the list of teams invited to the 2008 Indiana Robotics Invitational.
Also included is the list of 8 ‘wait listed’ teams.
(an excel file is also attached)

Invited teams and waitlisted teams will receive an email with additional instructions later this evening.

Thank you to all who applied.

We had almost 100 team applications and it was a difficult task to narrow down the field to 72 teams. We considered 2008 performance, IRI history, team essays and other data when making the selection.

It looks to be an awesome competition.

Amazing, I come to Delphi right as this is put up. I can see just by looking down the list that this is going to be INTENSE. I absolutely cannot wait, as this is basically going to be our Championship event. The best of the best are going to IRI, and I love competing with the best.

3

I picked a good time to log onto CD. This is a spectacular list. Should be one amazing event.

4

sooo… beast and foley lets do it again

5

Cant wait!!

6

As always, IRI will be the most competitive off season event of the year. See you all at the IRI, “where the egos come to play”!

7

Repeat of 06, O YYY AAAAAAAAA!!! Were in for that .Come on July , I cant wait!!!

8

That is an insane list. This should be amazing to watch. Can’t wait:cool:
Hopefully we’ll be joining you guys next year.

9

Thank You! We can’t wait to compete with so many awesome teams, see you in July :slight_smile:

(This just made my summer…)

10

I can’t wait to compete with the best, of the best of the best! This is going to be one heck of an offseason, so lets git-r-done!

I may or may not have just wet myself looking at that list…guess you’ll never know

Sorry for anyone who had to read that

Competition looks ridiculous, good luck to everyone

12

Thanks for the invite. We look forward to attending. Looks like an amazing list.

13

Team 1126 is happy to be accepted into a group of the elite. We can’t wait to make our FIRST showing there. Should be fun!!!

14

This will be the HighRollers 1st off season event, we are looking forward to it, and will come to play!

team 233 is thrilled to be invited and of course accept the invitation. can’t wait for IRI - it’s going to be the BEST event ever.

16

I really have to try to make it out there this summer. I can foresee every qualifications match being just as competitive as the finals on Einstein.

17

Thanks for the invite! I really enjoyed IRI in 2005 and 2006, and unfortunately we missed registration last year, the year we were really competitive. Oh well, I can’t do anything about the past, and I guess this means I should replace the tread on ours since some robot in Curie had an appetite for blue nitrile tread and took a chunk out of one of our wheels… and I guess I should really try working on hybrid a little more so we don’t hit the wall *every *match.

18

Perhaps you mean “as entertaining”… with match scores of 104-54 and 136-94, the finals on Einstein were definitely entertaining, certainly impressive, but… well… not exactly all that competitive… especially when compared to some of the Einstein semis and divisional playoffs.

But I know what you mean… there will be some great matches. It will be interesting to see if any of these teams will be able to catch up to 1114.

WOO-HOO!!! Can’t wait, I couldn’t think of a better crowd to spend my birthday with!!(july 19th) Hopefully I can walk away with a present, a shiney present. :cool: see ya’ll there

20

I’m going to “look forward” and predict that the team’s attending IRI WILL NOT allow 148, 217 and 1114 to team up for the elimination rounds but I definitely see one of them repeating their performance at the Championships.

Any guesses as to which one will take the top prize?

Can’t wait to pack my ego and head to Indy in July. :slight_smile:
