The road to IRI very was a wet one this year with serial thunderstorms, flooded roads, traffic jams and multiple diversions. Flooding is a matter of degree and this road, between Zanesville and Columbus OH, was not too flooded.
Come hell or high water (especially the latter), we made it to IRI load-in. Laura, Bobby, Josh & Matthew S.
On the practice field. Working on autonomous gear placement. We spent a great deal of quality time on the IRI practice field.
