Thursday - My master plan to rent a van for the trip failed at the final moment, so I ended up driving my Honda Civic the 600+ miles to Indianapolis with 5 souls on board. Andrew, Julie Christopher, Gillian and Siri Maley made the trip with me. I drove, departing the Eagle ACME parking lot about 8:30 AM.

We kept up a lively conversation throughout the trip, mostly concerning team organization for 2012, training plans and expectations. Siri kept notes, so our musings were not lost and forgotten.

We made our first stop for lunch at Quaker Steak & Lube in Wheeling WV, the geometric centerpoint of our drive (within a few feet). America's best Hot Wings, curley straws & motorcycles hanging from the ceiling! What more could you ask for? Refueled immediately after lunch and moved on.

Didn't stop again until we reached our hotel ~20:30. Faith & Foster rolled is a little later. We joined Faith's group for a very nice dinner at Applebee's.

Saturday -

Sunday - After lunch at Olive Garden,

In Conclusion

  • This is the best robotics competition I've ever participated in
  • Learned a lot. Made new connections.
  • We should try to get invited again next year
  • The team should make plans accordingly
  • We played well. We've got a good robot.
  • Competing at IRI will force us to become a better team
