Indiana Robotics Invitational

The 76 teams listed below are invited to the 2012 I.R.I.

We had tough choices with many excellent teams applying. We believe we have a strong, well rounded group of teams and are excited about the level of competition. Thank you to all teams who applied.

The “acceptance” page of the IRI website will be open on Thursday evening about 6 pm. You must go to the website and accept your invitation. We will send you an invoice after your acceptance and you can pay by paypal or by mailing a check.

Sadly, some of these teams listed below may not be able to accept this invitation.  If that happens, we will simply have less teams attending.  We are not planning to have a wait list.  If those teams inform us that they cannot attend, we will update this list.

You can elect to make a voluntary donation to the IRI Teams scholarship fund and that can be included on the invoice.

The entry fee is $700 plus a filled backpack for an elementary school student.
