What a great list of teams. IRI should be a blast this year.

Pumped and honored to be back for the 2nd consecutive year!

I wonder what amazing elimination matches will result from the amazing line up. There definitely will be matches that will be won by one tele-op basket.

Team 340 is really excited to be attending IRI for the first time! Woohoo! What an incredible list of teams too? Congrats to everyone, see you in July!

I’m bummed that Los Pollos Locos didn’t get an invitation, but I can’t find any fault at all with the list as presented. Good luck to all the teams!

This is going to be an insane event. In past years it seemed like there were 2-10 robots that were quite far above the rest. This year I really don’t see that. I can see an interesting 2nd pick based not on shooting but feeding and speed to the coop bridge in hybr…autonomous.

While I’m disappointed 910 won’t be appearing this year, I can see why. This is an awesome group of teams. Good luck to all the teams!

Pretty cool to see 4 Florida teams on this list. It is sad though that we aren’t seeing the big one on the list. This is gonna be our 3rd IRI and we are hoping for this to be our best to date.

Wow, what an impressive list. When teams as good as 11 and 1625 are left out, you know you’re talking about an accomplished field. Should be an amazing event!

It’s really great to see 624 on that list. :slight_smile:

WOW! This an incredible list! I am so happy to be apart of the teams that will be attending! This will be the first time 77who has attended IRI!

Team 1023 is very excited to be invited to our 1st IRI tournament! Looking forward to this new experience! Thanks for the invite!

Team 2834 is super excited and grateful we are invited also. This is also our first time. Thanks.

Not a single 2011 team made it onto this list… interesting.

FIRST Team 68 looks forward to returning to IRI. We look forward to competing with all of these great teams.

(772)

Congratulations to all teams! 907 is so excited for our first trip to IRI!

Atleast 4 teams from the 2011 IRI are on this list…

I assume he means rookies from 2011.

Congrats to FRC team 3310 for making the list! Go Team Black Hawk!
