IRI History
The Indiana Robotics Invitational was started in 1999 by Team #45, the TechnoKats, in Kokomo, Indiana. The event quickly grew, drawing large numbers of teams to the Indiana cornfields. Soon, the event was moved to Indianapolis, IN with the help of Team #234, CyberBlue, and #393, Full Metal Jackets. These teams have helped to make the IRI the premier offseason event of the year, drawing huge crowds and fierce veteran competitors.
