Discussion for Curie

[cziggy343]

Anyone really smart that has the data to do OPR ranks wanna do them for Curie? :D

I can't get the latest World Rank Data from Ed Law's database (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2174) since it will not convert to pre-07 Excel format. Anyone have that data?

[tim-tim]

The_Lucas, thanks man - do you think you could do the same for Newton?

I know i cannot wait to work with the some of the best teams in FIRST.

Lets have some fun!

[Blackphantom91]

Yes curie again lets do this and make this a great division, Good luck to all.

[Cyberphil]

This division looks pretty interesting. Some great teams, and some huge competition! Should be a great Championship, and division!

[Team 1574]

What a great division!!!
see you there :)

MisCar 1574

[Akash Rastogi]

WOO! We're not the team with the lowest OPR here lol

Can't wait for alliance selections.

[Bob Steele]

The Skunks are looking forward to being on the field with everyone!!
Good luck to everyone and we will see you on the field(s)

Go CURIE!!!

[BIGWILLI2081]

Curie, along with all the other divisions, is looking really strong. We can't wait to compete with everyone!

[Gaurav27]

Awesome! Curie seems to be a strong division! Lets all make it an amazing division. Can't wait to compete with you all! Good Luck everyone!

[Akash Rastogi]

Curie and Archimedes are relatively weak compared to Newton and Galileo

[SM987]

Curie and Archimedes are relatively weak compared to Newton and Galileo

I'm one of those people that roots for the underdog. ;)

[Michael Corsetto]

I'm one of those people that roots for the underdog. ;)

I love it! Weak divisions don't mean weak alliances, so true in this game too. We saw 8th seed beat 1st seed in MSC, can't wait to see what happens in St. Louis!

We may not have team IFI, but we have 71!

[lturtle2996]

Team 2996, Cougars Gone Wired, is super excited to be a part of the Curie Division!!! SEE EVERYONE THERE!!!!! :)

Curie and Archimedes are relatively weak compared to Newton and Galileo

I'm one of those people that roots for the underdog. ;)

I kinda like the storyline of the "under-the-radar" alliance from the "cursed Division" emerging from their dark corner of the pits (yes we are going to be in the pits for Elims Sat) to win it all on the big stage of Einstein. ;)

Seriously, I think the ultimate champion on Einstein will be decided by consistency and the seeding of the division (and therefore the relative strength of the emerging alliance). So let the "stronger" divisions beat up on each other in quals (possibly leading to "surprise #1" and alliance breakup) while the cream rises to the top in Curie. In this game, marginal scoring diminishes quickly. I think all division winning alliances will be capable of putting up 4 logos per match, they just need to do so consistently. Bottom logos past that really aren't a gamebreaker (only 6pts for whole logo, weak). The winning alliances need to consistently put up 3 Ubers in auto and avoid penalties. They also need to consistently be at the towers at the 10 sec mark to enter their 2 minibots in the race of the sub-2sec minibots. It is way too early to predict which division will come out ahead in those races... :ahh:

We need to take it one step at a time. We will not face Newton or Galileo (the aforementioned "strong divisions") till the Einstein Finals. After we crown our champion, we need focus on beating Archimedes for taking our field in the Dome (and to keep The Radioactive Archimedes' Screw Trophy (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=949162&postcount=47) :D )

Personally, consider being in the same division as the AC of my team's 2 most successful runs on the world stage a sign of good luck(Nat Champs w/ Beatty in '01, Div Finalists w/ 987 in '08). Also, we have a good mix of old friends and new faces. Plus, having 5 HOF teams in your division never hurts ;)

[AcesJames]

Looks like 176 is the only CT team in Curie this year, odd!

Oh well, we're ready to compete, and we're bringing a few new cards to play as well! ;)

"World Domination !!!" ;)

GO PNW!


Break the curse...

[ratdude747]

You know that this year is the 100th anniversary of Marie Curie winning her second Nobel prize (the one in chemistry).

I think that Poland is declaring 2011 as the year of Curie.

Perhaps 2011 is also the year of curie in FIRST?

[Navid Shafa]

"World Domination !!!" ;)

GO PNW!


Break the curse...

It's been a few years since an "All Washington Teams" photo was taken at world champs. With this many teams coming, we definitely need to do it again!

[Akash Rastogi]

I'm really sad I won't be attending Championships this year (college is lame, don't do it).

My only hope is that we somehow make it onto an alliance for eliminations.:yikes:

[El Geffe]

This should turn out to be a great devision. It'll be awesome to play with the High Rollers and everyone else again! Let's break that curse!

[TKM.368]

368 will be bringing the aloha to Curie (yet again) along with our rookie friends 3685 from the across the island!

368 at Champs:

'02: Newton
'05: Curie
'08: Curie
'09: Newton
'10: Curie
'11: Curie

See you all there!

[Adam Freeman]

OPR is not the end-all be-all for this game. Just look at MSC...if we went by OPR, the end result would have been completely different.

I am confident that many of the teams in Curie can hang/beat the top teams in the other divisions. Besides, they all have to beat each other up...before they get out of their division.

In the end the best alliance from each division will be pretty evenly matched.

67, 16, and 348 did our best to take down the Galileo giants last time we were on Curie. If you study those Einstien matches it was closer than the final scores looked.

There are a lot of strong teams in this division. I believe the alliance that gets out of Curie will be very strong. Eliminations are going to be very tough..the division winner will be have their strategy and teamwork down by the time they are done.

I remember hearing Newton was pretty weak last year and no way they would be able to beat the "un-beatable" alliance coming from Curie.

67 is ready for another challenge!

[The Lucas]

OPR is not the end-all be-all for this game. Just look at MSC...if we went by OPR, the end result would have been completely different.

I don't think OPR is the reason some are perceiving Curie as weaker. It shouldn't be considering this data from Travis's spreadsheet
Division Average OPR Standard Deviation # of Teams
Galileo 19.86 16.35 87
Curie 19.85 16.52 88
Newton 19.21 16.98 87
Archimedes 16.51 16.45 87


All the divisions are pretty similar in Avg OPR except for Archi. I would say it has more to do with teams in the Top25 Week 6 Public Poll:

Galileo 5 teams
Curie 5 teams
Newton 9 teams
Archimedes 6 teams

Galileo also has only 5 teams too, but 4 of them are in the Top 10. The Top25 is a lot of fun, but champions are decided on the field not in public opinion.

[Blackphantom91]

If we are going of well know and consistent powerhouse names then yes, Curie is weak. but I don't believe we are week at all who knows what could happen through the three days of competition all of the top contenders could break some how could switch up the top 24. I feel like Curie is going to be a great division this year and tell people around not to sleep on us.:D

[Nick Rixford]

Team 126 is so ready for nationals! We have had some problems the last two competitions but now that those are straightened out we are ready to compete! With a consistent autonomous, 7-8 tubes per match and a 1.1 second minibot, we are ready :), let' break this dry spell Curie!

[cziggy343]

I think that one of the things that is going to make Curie interesting is that it is not top-heavy. It has many many very solid teams. In my opinion, that will make for very interesting qualifications and eliminations... The 8th pick for eliminations may very well be as solid as the 15th pick. I think we are going to see the best matches out of all the divisions in Curie...

[Kevin Sevcik]

I'll throw in for 57. Don't be fooled by that low OPR, that was all tubes without a functioning minibot. We're bringing a fast minibot and deployment, and have a good autonomous, so I'm liking our chances for playing on Saturday afternoon.

[Bob Steele]

Not sure how you can say that with both 67 and 71 on the field with us. Check out their stats.....particularly CMP championships and Einstein appearances...

and we have one of the very best young teams of all time...
2056....they have won every regional they have EVER played in..

(we have many other great teams too ..... and we are the only field that has a team with a book written about them....)

We are fired up to play with EVERYONE>.....
This is THE YEAR for CURIE!!!

[twetherbee]

If we are going of well know and consistent powerhouse names then yes, Curie is weak.

I disagree with this statement.

Curie has: 67 (two time defending world champion and 2011 MSC Champion), 2056 (Still undefeated record at regionals and part of current 2011 high score record holder of 150 - just filthy good), 71 (Beatty, enough said), 987 (maybe a little bias here, but we did win a WC at this similar game in 2007 and two Regionals this year), 365, 245, 573, 51, 968 and 1717 (southern CA powerhouses), ...on and on.

The teams in Curie this year have a combined 11 world championships (back to 1992), Galileo has 8, Archimedes has 7, and Newton has 6.

(Since 2001: Curie 8WC, Galileo 7WC, Arch 7WC, Newton 4WC)

Appearances on Einstien since 2001: Curie 23, Galileo 23, Newton 22, Arch 17.

Underestimated, yes. Weak, no.

I have a feeling that some of the lesser known (nationally) teams will have an impact this year, too, such as 1983, 2363, 1986, and 1678.

World Champions:
Curie: 71 (2004, 2002, 2001, 1997), 67 (2010, 2009, 2005), 987 (2007), 365 (2001), 176 (1999), and 126 (1992)
Galileo: 111 (2009, 2003), 294 (2010, 2001), 1114 (2008), 469 (2003), 173 (2002), and 48 (1999)
Arch: 177 (2010, 2007), 190 (2007), 330 (2005), 503 (2005), 435 (2004), 45 (1998)
Newton: 148 (2008, 1993), 217 (2008, 2006), 25 (2000), 494 (2004)

(Bob Steele beat me to the point....)

(Bob Steele beat me to the point....)
Fixed: 217 won in 2008, not 27 (who is also in Newton this year).

[Bob Steele]

no bias necessary Trent...
All anyone has to do is to watch one of your matches...

2 tube auto
2 logos
Fast minibot.

What team could ask for more in an alliance partner...

see you in 10 days... hopefully on our end of the field

[Blackphantom91]

Not sure how you can say that with both 67 and 71 on the field with us. Check out their stats.....particularly CMP championships and Einstein appearances...

and we have one of the very best young teams of all time...
2056....they have won every regional they have EVER played in..

(we have many other great teams too ..... and we are the only field that has a team with a book written about them....)

We are fired up to play with EVERYONE>.....
This is THE YEAR for CURIE!!!

Totally not what I meant, believe me I know 71,67,2056 are powerhouses but what i'm trying to say is that if you check the hype of the other divisions they believe there are stronger powerhouses for instance 1114. The teams I listed above are incredible teams and their in my opinion a lot of other spectacular teams waiting to emerge during this tournament.I believe we have a great shot at taking it! And your right experience does play an incredible role. (I also give you two points for the 1717 reference.):] We are basically are under hyped which is a mistake in my opinion.

No problem.... I think you hit the nail on the head....other division HYPE...
From my experience... the cream will rise to the top... I also remember our first year...2007 and how a little all maroon team that no one thought could win took it all from a division that was supposed to be the "lowest" ranking division... (Do you remember that Trent? The Maroon Wall. (987, 177, 190).

How could you forget...??? .)

By the way, we look forward to pitting with you guys... we should be right next to each other!!! 1986 and 1983!!

Good luck to you guys!! We have several teams celebrating their 5th year...

Yea it should be very cool, stop by when i'm there.:] Im really excited to meet teams ive never met and stuff but its cool to hangout with teams Ive met in the past. New friends and old ones! (Now for scouting and speculation) I think especially after last year losing to the winner of curie and everyone expected for them to win 1114,469 but lost in finals on Einstein I believe anything can happen. Upsets are very easy in this game due to penalties, and the massive amount of ways to get a red card. so I'm not one to jump full on who's going to win just due to statistics. But I do believe statistics help for reading the playing field and knowing what to watch for ect. This probley was TL:DR but I think that this is going to be a great week of fun for curie.

[cziggy343]

If we are going of well know and consistent powerhouse names then yes, Curie is weak. but I don't believe we are week at all who knows what could happen through the three days of competition all of the top contenders could break some how could switch up the top 24. I feel like Curie is going to be a great division this year and tell people around not to sleep on us.:D

Trust me, I've seen you. I wouldn't be sleeping on you ;)

YouTube channel, including our toughest qualification match in Colorado (Q#35) where we hung 1 in auto, hung 5 additional pieces on the top row and had a first place minibot. http://www.youtube.com/user/TeamTitaniumRobotics#p/c/FFA639B3E89C661B/11/2JvmLInOQBk

Wednesday night will be a busy time for us in St. Louis. We had the fastest and most consistent mini-bot in Colorado along with an autonomous that hung a tube in 15 consecutive matches. We've got a whole new minibot and autonomous planned. We're also in the process of tracking down a drivetrain issue. We seemed a bit underpowered in Colorado as compared to KC. Expect the new and improved robot to turn a few heads.

This is our 3rd consecutive year at champs. We do not take our place here for granted. It is an honor to join the distinguished field at Curie, and our scouts will be watching this thread with great interest.

Team 987's 2011 robot "Jackpott"....more info to come.

[maverickfan138]

I disagree with this statement.

Curie has: 67 (two time defending world champion and 2011 MSC Champion), 2056 (Still undefeated record at regionals and part of current 2011 high score record holder of 150 - just filthy good), 71 (Beatty, enough said), 987 (maybe a little bias here, but we did win a WC at this similar game in 2007 and two Regionals this year), 365, 245, 573, 51, 968 and 1717 (southern CA powerhouses), ...on and on.

We know we have built up a name for ourselves in the state of Michigan, but it means a lot to us to know that people outside the state who rarely see us think highly of us as well. We are glad to be competing at the World Championship and we are ready to play against the best of the best here in Curie!

Some robot stuff:

Name: Velociraptor
Drivetrain: Holomonic, four 8" mecanums powered by one CIM each.
Appendage: Double articulating arm
End effector: Belt driven roller claw with the ability to rotate tubes
Minibot: 1.5 second climb, our deployment system may change beforehand.

Our robot was geared for about 15ft/sec free speed, so it's around 11-12ft/sec. We generally hang six tubes a match, making two logos on the top row or one logo on top and one on the middle, depending on our partners. The most tubes we have hung in a match is eight. Our roller claw is a tube magnet and can pick up tubes in almost any way imaginable. Performance wise, we set the high score at both the Waterford District(100-3) and Ann Arbor District(114-1).

Here's a photo:

We scored 5-8 tubes a match (not counting a first couple matches where we were getting used to things), by saturday our minibot was 100% successful with a time of about 2 seconds with deployment, We went 17-0 and won the regional. If scouts want any more info just send me a pm and ill be glad to help you out.

Here's 176's robot and minibot.

Specs:
Robot -
2 speed drivetrain (7fps, 16fps)
6wd with AM roughtop tread
2 stage elevator powered by a BB 550 motor
Pneumatic gripper to grab tubes
Wrist powered by a window motor
Deployment arm swing-out powered by a window motor
Deployment to pole contact made by pneumatic cylinder

Minibot -
2 hourglass shafts, each powered by a Tetrix motor
Climbs tower in approximately 1.3 seconds

The robot is averaging 5-6 tubes in teleop, as well as 100% scoring in autonomous on the top row throughout both of our regionals. We won the Granite State regional with 1519 and 175, and were quarter-finalists in Connecticut with 1124 and 714, where we were substituted out after an encoder failure. The encoder has been fixed and tested for St. Louis.

Additionally, all our MSC matches are posted at our Youtube page:
http://www.youtube.com/user/FRCHOTTeam67#grid/user/3AD78E82EADCD5DE

Robot Specs:
- 2 Stage Elevator lift, powered by dual RS-775s thru CIMulators into a Toughbox. - Originally inspired FRC254/968 in 2007/08
- Arm for tube positioning powered by (2) Window motors.
- 1114 inspired claw powered by a Window motor.
- 8WD - 4" Wheels. (4) CIM drive with AM Supershifters. No pneumatics/servos...Window motor shifter!
- 2 Stage deployment system. 1st stage gas shock deploys alignment device. 2nd stage fires minibot out / onto pole using constant force springs + surgical tubing.

Minibot Specs:
- 118 inspired, cantilevered shaft design.
- Lexan frame.
- Pole activated clamp used to hold the pole. Magnets used to hold clamps open/shut.

[Kevin Sevcik]

Alright, fine. So here's 57 along with some brief specs. Pictures courtesy Ron Gillory, http://www.sezron.com:
- Half-Octanum* drive (4 Mecanums, 2 Stickies), never measured it, but about 12-15fps in Mecanum
- Pivot-telescoping arm
- Spring-loaded Roller Claw, driven by two independent RS-395s through 131:1 P60s. Spring loading = Who cares about over-inflation? Also, rotating a square around the corner is just amusing.
- New for Champs, 1.2s (fully charged) minibot, with a pretty reliable and forgiving deployment. Should be about 1.5-1.7 with deploy.
- Reliable High-Uber Autonomous, once we work out the distances.
- Regularly scoring 2 High logos by our lonesome.

I'm rather pleased with the whole robot at this point. Our biggest letdown was our original Big'n'Slow(tm) minibot that didn't even benefit from reliability. We've since cribbed notes from the Discobots (2587), improving their design and working out a rather faster "align-wait-fire" style deployment system. I'm told by my students and co-mentors that I'm banned from further tweaking on the minibot, so this looks like what we're going with.

The only thing I'd change at this point is the half-Octanum*. We started with a whole Octanum* and ended up about 6 lbs over, so the choice was pretty obvious. If anyone has 6 lbs of robot weight to lend us, we'd looooove to toss the other half on. As it is, we'll have it available to us at Champs to swap in some lower geared stickies, and in case of extreme emergency. (eg. Oh no, the arm's a pretzel!)

*Yes, I know the accepted spelling is Octocanum. I think mine's easier to say and just as descriptive.

[Cyberphil]

Here is 103. With the same lift and gripper design as 25, this machine is one of the best bots we have ever created. (Pictures courtesy of Kelly Szymanowski(my sister))


6wd 1/10 drop center drive with 8" AM preformance wheels driven by all four cims with AM super shifter (pneumatic actuating) allowing for speeds up to 16 FPS in high and 8 FPS in low
Essentially the same gear-driven drive-train for the past four years with some slight, but ever so helpful tweaks (Hex shafts new this year) :cool:
Three stage lift driven by four BB 775's with worm-drive transmission (to eliminate backdriving)
Inside tube gripper actuated by a pneumatic cylinder allowing for universal and simple pickup (extremely good for transporting tubes also)
Gripper tilt (pneumatic actuated) to allow for extremely easy capping
1.4 second minibit, total of about 1.8 second MB+deployment
Scored two high logos alone most matches without defense
Plays very well against defense
Can even play some great defense (we only know this because our belt came loose one match, which by the way is fixed)
Hangs Ubertube for the majority of the matches, but with two slight timing changes, we will have it 100%


The biggest problem we have is the swaying of the tower. It was designed with a spring system in the bottom, but it swayed way too much with that, so we added a strut with a dampener to make it more sturdy. That solved that problem for the most part. Other than that, I would say our second biggest weakness is our minibot deployment. It is not extremely fast, but it is reliable. The only problem with deployment is that we use the shifters to launch it out, so we cannot switch gears until the end of the match or the minibot will launch without us wanting it to.

I assume that the shock therapy since LV has persuaded your driver to do a better job avoiding your opponent's LANE? ;)

That was actually intentional. :eek: (my dad is the drive coach) We wanted to get more practice hanging and because it was a practice match he figured it did not matter. If you watch carfully you can se that the driver hesitates before entering the lane, he knew it was a penalty but my dad said to go so he did.

2783's bot: (no pics yet)

Autonomous- hangs one tube (will be consistent once replacement parts come in) on high

Teleop- can hang any tube anywhere

Endgame- linear slide minibot lancher poowed by a window motor, latest minibot is held in with a cable and hitch pin system. the minibot latches onto the pole with 2 70lb (force) wind turbine magnets. current minbot goes up in 4 seconds (a direct drive version may be made)

mechanics:

drivetrain: high speed mecanum (4x cims/ TB nanos). it is normally run at 50% power for preciceness and rant at full poer for speed when the "turbo" trigger is held.

arm: the robot uses a 3 stage arm controlled by 2 geared down BB 550's and 2 springs. all 3 segments work in sync by a cable/pulley system. a 550 or an FP will be on the wrist and the gripper also has a bb motor (forgot the model). the arm, wrist, and gripper all have analog encoders for precise preset positions.

the robot has a low center of gravity (it has never come close to tipping).

the robot has a direct fed (though AP, bypassing the cRIO) camera, controlled by a tilt servo (180 degrees). the current code (perfected tonight) gives drivers real-time video with crosshairs for guiding when the camera is facing forward, and when it faces backwards (to launch minibot), the crosshairs switch to 2 vertical lines (to line up with pole) and the image rotates 180 degrees. the tilt angle is set by the driver's righthand throttle.

the current arm (not used in regionals) is being used on a practice clone chassis, and at 23lb, it will be brought in as withholding allowance material.

Good luck to curie!



Minibot- linear slide launcher (cab

[aboppana]

Team 1923's robot specs:

Reliable autonomous with scoring on top row (has only failed to get points once at CT)

Can score on all three pegs and averages about 1-1.5 logos per match

Has set the high score at NJ of 124 with teams 25 and 1860

Has set the high score at CT of 123 with teams 195 and 155

Third seed at NJ, first seed at CT, winner at CT

~1.3 second minibot w/o deployment (wasn't there at jersey), not timed w/ deployment, estimated 2 second deploy and climb

Can't wait! Team 3459 is an all rookie team. None of us have never done this before! We placed 7th out of 52 at our regional, and are thrilled about going to St. Louis. We think we have a pretty good robot. We were going to borrow a minibot from a team at the NC regional, but we never got in contact with them. Don't know how we'll do, but we'll see! See you all in St. Louis!

If you guys have the parts available (motors, limit switches, c channel, bushings) I think plenty of teams would help you put one or two together. 3553 used to have a pretty ghetto looking minibot that still went up in 1.5 seconds that they could probably help you build.

57 is going to have a few extra minibots, and we have an extra, slightly crooked deployment system as well. Find me in our pits around 6 on Weds and we'll talk.

I wouldn't be opposed to helping you build one! pm if interested or find me at champs wearing a team titanium shirt and a hat(I'm literally going to wearing that.).

Ahhh!!! Giant Mexican Hat in potentially uber crowded pit field bleachers. :eek: :ahh: :eek: :ahh:

It looks like they already have a deployment system (http://dannylevenson.com/LogomotionNC/Day2/images/IMG_141.jpg) (that works, I saw them deploy in a QF match video (http://www.teampyrotech.org/?p=1137)). Unless of course that was a loaner, too (considering it has a different minibot on it in the pic (prob theirs in Qual 14) and vid (prob loaner) I think it is their system). I think they should probably choose which ever minibot fits their deployment the best, so lets give them options.

I offered them one of our loaner minibots as well via PM (to a couple members of their team). I think PM is probably the way to go (for other to offer minibots) since members of their team might not read the rest of this thread. I have a read receipt but no responses yet.

[Megan514]

Thanks everyone willing to help! Our team is meeting tonight, I'll bring it up :)

Just in case anyone missed our other thread, we have posted a link to our Curie robot photo database that everyone is welcome to utilize. Keep checking back here as we will continue to add the missing pictures.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=94758

We pulled these pics from team websites, other CD posts, and have now resorted to screen captures from YouTube clips. So, if we don't have a photo or it is not a very good picture of your robot, we apologize but you've hidden them well....

Mmmmmmmm... I'm a newly minted fan of the deployment systems that extend a rail with an alignment device, and then fire the minibot down the rail.

I don't know about other non-magnetic, direct-drive minibots, but ours is sensitive to misalignment. If the deployment system pushes the minibot sideways against the pole, then there's too much pressure on one roller, not enough on the other, and the minibot just spins out. Plus all the concerns about bending shafts and such. So while I'm willing to loan out minibots, I'd also like to set up the loanees for success.

Team 3492, RoboGens, is another Rookie team that is excited to be going to St. Louis next week! :)

Similar to what I did in previous years (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=735425&postcount=165), I ran through 100 simulated qualification match schedules (all 147 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's highest opr at any event for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 100 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.

Interesting that after 100 potential match schedules 24 different teams appear as the #1 seed, including the 38th, 39th, and 40th teams in the OPR listing. This division looks wide open with match pairings playing a significant role in the fight for the #1 seed. I would hate to see the list of matches that had us finishing 62nd in the field. :eek: I don't doubt that it could happen though.

Thanks Joe for helping us anticipate the best and worst possible outcomes of the match pairing algorithm.

[Jeff Pahl]

Looks like a great division this year!! Looking forward to seeing a lot of awesome robots and cheering on a Curie win on Einstein.

And now, a Public Service Announcement from your friendly neighborhood LRI: PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR BAG & TAG LOCKUP FORMS!!! if you last competed at a B&T event and then shipped "Bag in Crate". It will make both of our Wednesday evenings a lot better :)

See Ya'll Soon!!!

[rmhooks573]

nothing like the read deal though. no simulation can show the intense competition of curie this year!!!

[JennaBrown]

To start I would like to congratulate all of the teams who are coming to nationals in St. Louis! All of your hard work and dedication is paying off!
Like any other competition there are some things that are bound to happen. Programs aren't going to run right, things will break, and countless of other things could go wrong (knock on wood!). But have no fear, MOEbile Pit will be there! For years MOE 365 has run a successful "mobile pit" which consists of a team of students that helps other teams with any problems that they encounter. But this year we are stepping into the 21st century with the help of Twitter! If at any time during the competition your team finds themselves in need of help, Tweet @MOEbilePit with your problem/request! This is an experimental way of communication through which other FIRST teams can connect to our MOEbile Pit when they need assistance! If you have any questions feel free to post them, or Tweet them to @MOEbilePit .
In the words of my greatest inspiration, Dean Kamen, "Good luck, and see you in St. Louis!"

[B-Bot]

Two days till St lewis. Cant wait to see you all.

Your right no simulation can create results that are desired. Its only used for reference purposes as are most statistics. Also it extremely helps scouters like yourself have an easier time looking though data and making the best decisions. All things like that should be taken with a grain of salt because of unfortunate events.

and whenever there is a rematch because of field errors, that ALWAYS can change seeds. we had a match like that last year and this yea; It was in our favor:)

Exactly, stuff like that you take it with a grain of salt. Top seeds aren't guaranteed a win. That's why we scout to try and predict the most unpredictable outcomes and try to figure out a way around them. For example last year 1114,469 through all statistics were going to win Einstein but didn't. Things like that can happen especially in this game, things are just out of our control.

team 573 is on a roll!!!!!

I'm hearing that Jane-Doll got to sit at the officials table sporting a balloon hat. That makes me laugh. Thank you to whoever made the balloon hat possible - I'm sure she is enjoying it.

[dtengineering]

Well, we might only be approaching halfway through, but one of my favorite Ontario teams is in first, followed by one of my favorite Washington teams.

Go Theory6... Go Skunks... I'll be cheering for both of you!

[Megan514]

Team PyroTech is doing... Meh. xD Last time I checked, we were in 72nd. (probably lower now-- we lost our last match! (Just checked-- 78th xD)) During our last match of the day, autonomous worked flawlessly. We tried to hang a few tubes and didn't succeed. When we went to the minibot pole, the minibot fell off and pulled out the cord to our C RIO! I think we should at least get bonus points for that, we couldn't have done that if we tried!!

Overall, it was a great day. Definitley a different feel than our regional. Talked to some great people and teams! And to be honest, none of us really care that we don't have the best ranking, we're just excited that we're even in St. Lois!

See you all on the field tomorrow! :)

[cziggy343]

We, 2751, had a weird day with lots of bad luck... minibot fell off... belt on the elevator snapped... etc etc... We are happy to be 2-2 right now, but we expect to improve a lot tomorrow

[Nick Rixford]

I know how you feel, Gael Force has had terrible luck, we are however, a great bot, we have consistent autonomous, we score 6-7 tubes per match, and we do have a 1.5 second mini bot, our alliance schedule has just not worked at all, and our roller bound the last match so we had to herd tubes, ahh well we just hope someone picks us haha

[Akash Rastogi]

its amazing how teams can go from the top 20(us) to in the bottom 30. i hope teams look at more than just rankings when it comes to their pick-lists.

You guys don't have to try and sell your teams on here. The good teams scout. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

[Dave McLaughlin]

well, i am not trying to "Sell my team." i'm just saying. its really something how big luck will always play in FIRST.

To be honest... posts like this, and your previous additions to this thread are more of a turn off from your team than anything else. I agree with Akash, the good teams scout, if you are good you will get scouted.

In my opinion, the posts you are making are not flattering your team. Pick Me, Pick Me may be fine to yell during the alliance selections if you feel you really must, but I doubt that people reading CD right now are in the position to read what you have written and make any useful scouting conclusions from it, aside from that fact that you think your team is really really good despite yielding lack luster results on the field.

[rmhooks573]

i agree with akash.

i think i just had a different, unpro. way of putting it in your eyes

[maverickfan138]

It appears I have missed a lot while in St. Louis, and it's probably a good thing. I really hope Curie teams weren't swayed into a negative opinion of 573 due to the posts that were deleted.

I will reiterate what has already been said. Robert, ever since you registered, your posts have been extremely nonconstructive. Everything I have seen from you has been self centered and at the point of spam. You also need to improve on your grammar. This isn't Facebook, so capital letters, proper punctuation, and complete words and sentences are necessary. Seriously, think before you post next time.


despite yielding lack luster results on the field

I wouldn't call beating 2056 on Thursday and 67 on Saturday lackluster results. Our match schedule wasn't necessarily friendly and we knew we couldn't win them all. We carried our alliance in most of our matches, yet everybody should know that teams can't always win by themselves. In some matches, we gave into our partners who insisted that we execute a certain strategy, which ended up not working out. Personally, I felt that we proved that we could compete with the big dogs.

I'm not trying to say that we were the best, or even anywhere close to the best. Could we have done better? Probably, but we are still proud of our performance, and we certainly aren't a bad team just because of a few deleted posts in this forum.


With that being said, I had a good time at the Championship and competing with and against the other Curie teams.

[Jash_J]

Thanks for the support! It felt great to be in St.Louis and among the best again. We definetly had a great time and learned alot!

Thanks again :)

[Kit Gerhart]

Congrats to 987, 51, and 968 on making it to Einstein.

Phil Lundberg, are you out there? It was good seeing you at St. Louis. Please PM me your e-mail and/or phone #.

[notmattlythgoe]

2363 really enjoyed our first trip to the Championship. We had a great time competing against all of the teams in the Curie Division and look forward to hopefully seeing teams at other regionals and the Championship next year.

[Kaushal.K]

On behalf of Team 1241 - THEORY6, I would like to congratulate all the Curie teams for being such amazing competitors!

Congratulations to 987 - High Rollers, 968 - RAWC and 51 - Wings of Fire on winning the Division and representing Curie on Einstein!

Again a big thank you to our wonderful alliance partners; 2056 - OP Robotics and 368 - Team Kika Mana.. it was a pleasure to work with you and hopefully we shall meet again in St Louis next year!

[Josh Drake]

Thanks for all the help you gave us. I know I was anoying at times coming in to pester you for tools or hardware, but you guys were always willing to look for what I needed. Our charter bus didn't arrive until Thursday night. It had the tools, robot cart, and human player on it :eek:

I can't say thank you enough to 67 and 1717 for picking us. We will hopefully build on this years momentum and come out even stronger next year.

And I am thankful to 2751 for letting me tag along for the weekend. I had a great time in St. Louis this year!

And thanks again to 67 and 1717 for picking us. I know just from being around this team a lot that this meant the world. Just to be able to play with two of FIRST's premiere teams in eliminations is a real boost. And like Josh said, they will build off of this. They have done a great job improving, and I don't think that this will be an exception. So thank you for not only picking 2751 for an alliance, but for inspiring and affirming that this team is getting better and better.

[Bob Steele]

It was great playing with you guys!! You made a great run!!
We were really happy to see you still around when we got to make our 2nd pick!! Thanks for being such great alliance team mates!!

We hope we can play with you again next year!!
Stay in touch!!

We were glad to be picked, it got into the second round of picks and I started to get worried. There were still a few good teams that didn't end up getting into the elimination rounds.

[Kevin Kolodziej]

This was an amazing division this year and 1675 was proud to be a part of it. It was really great to have so many friends within the division but it was even greater to have the opportunity to make so many new ones.

Big thanks to Teams 71 and 469 (from Galileo) for lending us the parts we needed to fix and improve our minibot. Things were definitely clicking for us at the right time to reach the #9 seed and become the 8th alliance captain.

Thanks to 1678 and 245 for being a part of the Ultimate Citrus Bots alliance - one tube short (which was on and then off) in the first match and one tube/one ubertube/one penalty short in the second match - not too shabby. It was tons of fun and a pleasure to play with you guys. We were really hoping to get to play against 71/2826/103 in the finals - 71 is my former team and 2826 was our busmates for the ride to St. Louis. Maybe next year!

Lastly, congrats to 987, 968, and 51 for making it to Einstein. You guys were a great alliance and Chris' story about 51's drivers makes it even more impressive. Well done!!

[LightWaves1636]

Congratulations to 987(High Rollers), 51(Wings of Fire), and 968 (RAWC) on making it to Einstein. You guys were an awesome alliance to see happen.

and Thank everyone in Curie who made the FWC experience totally awesome this year! :cool:

[Blackphantom91]

Congrats to 987,51,968 For being the winning alliance on Curie. That alliance represented all of the 88 robots wonderfully on Einstein! Although it wasn't curie's year I still think we had some of the best competition at champs this year.

To our alliance captains 364 Team fusion You guys were a great captain and we enjoyed being on your alliance for elms and are sure glad you picked us.

365 MOE You guys are truly a hall of fame team, your robots continue to be great and you guys in your neon green are the embodiment of a first team. It was great to be partnered with you.

Shout outs to 2056,1717,67,71, and every other captain and anyone else I forgot you guys make first the real deal and great! All of you guys inspire me!

Mahalo to 1241 and 2056 for the privilege of being on your alliance. It was very much an honor.

Aloha...

[Jash_J]

Aloha team 368 :)

It was an honour to be the number one seed alliance captain this year. Partnered with 2056 and you guys 368, it was just a pleasure. Thanks again!
