Okay. Technically, there's no "Road to China" insofar as there is no dry land route from Exton PA to the Peoples Republic of China. I get it. I know this. But this page is the child of DEWBOT VI IRI Trip Reports and takes its name from an album of traveling music graciously compiled for this trip by then-Sab-BOT-teur Jennifer Stanton. This 2010 trip to the Indiana Robotics Invitational (IRI) was a game changer for 1640, a team which had just built it's first Swerve Drive robot and had not yet ever won an in-season FRC event. By throwing ourselves in to a competition with the very best FRC teams in the world, we forced ourselves to become a better team. 2010 (first year at IRI) and 2011 (First year at FRC Championships) were transitional years for Sab-BOT-age. So were 2018 and 2019 with 1640's Chairman's Award successes. I see our participation in the RCC Qianjiang International Robotics Open in a similar light.
