Indiana Robotics Invitational (IRI) - day 1

[IndyFIRSTengineer]

Several Segways will be on hand - with ample opportunity to demo for a group of people who are genuinely interested in Segway technology, and big fans of Dean Kamen. These kids are AWESOME ... and the robots are too. Over 50 teams will be present from as far away as California, Florida, and NY. You don't want to miss this!

The competition takes place at Lawrence North High School, on the North side of Indy (7802 N Hague Rd, Indianapolis, IN) July 9 AND 10.

“Who goes out and says, ‘You have a better probability of winning the state lottery than making a nickel in professional sports. And by the way, last year two million exciting technical jobs went unfilled in this country because you weren't there to take that job. And it pays you 10 times as much as flipping burgers, and it's fun and it's exciting and you get to create things and build things and help make the world a better place and help make yourself a better living.’ Who tells them this?”

Stu,

What is the timing, and would latecomers (with Segways) be allowed in?
