[FF]: 2010 IRI

Yeah… It’s a new low to lose to a mom…

I would actually consider that a new “high” point, proof that culture is being changed.

But… I don’t want to be the one to lose to her.

My Mom’s response

First off, Jack gets the credit for the pick list. I wrote it, based on what he has taught me, what I have learned from CD/TBA and from watching the teams this year. I was the clock watcher and the typist.
As far as the actual picks, they were pretty much no-brainers:
1625 – Einstein, regional winner, and 2 time winner at IRI – pretty simple choice.
330 – There was no steal - they were there for the picking. They were the next logical pick.
70 – High hopes for our own team.

Now secondly, “a new low to lose to a Mom”. Are you kidding me? I cannot let this go by without comment. I would suggest a little culture change is needed here.
Thank you Koko Ed. My husband, Jack and I do enjoy FIRST as a family.
Thank you IKE, the culture that FIRST promotes is one that encourages and accepts every individual’s talents.

ahem we didn’t win one this year ahem (midwest chairman’s on the other hand…)

Thanks for the pick though, hope we come through for ya!

I’m a little late to the game, but I’d still like to join, and Ed says that it’s fine. 503, 1024, and (by IndySam’s suggestion) 3176 for me.

Heads up: 233 (sgreco’s #2 pick) is no longer attending, per Andy Baker in the team list thread.

I’ll take 2194 instead of 233.

I’ve changed my mind…I’ll take 2826 instead of 2194.

33’s schedule makes me extremely happy with my pick.

Yeah, it is going to be a really interesting event.

Team 111 and 16’s schedule are making me really happy! Though I think Basel will be happiest immediately after qualifications…

We’ll see. 1501’s qualification schedule is very nice as well. I’d like to think I have 3 elimination 'bots, but of course all that will be revealed Saturday.

Looking at the schedule, I know I’ll get two points out of match 22: 1902 and 148 face each other.

I think I’ve got a decent chance of having at least one and probably two teams in eliminations, so we’ll see how it goes.

All roster are now locked.

Woot, my three picks are all currently in the top 15 :smiley: Seems like Picone is pretty decent at this.

And my picks are #1, #9, and #11. I think I’ve got a good shot of repeating my FF IRI win.
