Way to put a big target on our back, Joe. Remember everybody, these are just numbers and reality is much less generous.

I think Joe just painted over the big target you put on your back after going 32-0.

2914 is happy to come in under the radar, we are pretty confident in the scouting abilities of the top teams and will make our case on the field. I'm getting excited, how about you?

I posted a similar post on the 2012 Divisions thread, but I was wondering if any teams are in a similar situation as my team.

At the Wisconsin Regional, team 706's robot only made one tele-op point. After, we made adjustments to both the mechanical and code side of it. Now it is shooting with a more direct shoot instead of an arch, and the shooter builds rpm's and recovers 2.5 seconds faster. With this new change, we perdict our OPR will at least double.

If other teams have done the same, the competition will be much more competitive.

Has this situation affected any other team here on Curie?

A lot of my students wanted to end up in a division with 987 because their robot looks similar to ours.

Also ending up in the same division with a certain green spiky haired team from Katy, Texas wasn't bad either in my opinion. :cool:

Honestly, I can't wait to see how things turn out with teams like 233, 254, 341, 624, 971, 987, 1986, 2474 in our division! It's going to be an exciting weekend. Good luck to all teams in Curie!

I would like to take a chance to introduce you to the 2 RoboDawgs teams traveling to St. Louis this year!

However, there may be a little bit of confustion if you are doing pre-competition scouting. The RoboDawgs are broken down into 3 teams, Team 216, 244, and 288, and recently were the first team in FRC History to send 3 teams from one high school to the Semi-Finals at a single event! Unfortunately, there was a bit of a mix-up in registering teams for nationals, and team 216 (Which had been decided was attending nationals) was accidentally registered as 288 (Which was not attending nationals). Due to this confusion, and strict FRC Tournament Policy, Team 216 will be attending the tournament under the 288 name.

IF YOU ARE CONDUCTING PRE-TOURNAMENT SCOUTING, PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:
The information you are looking at for Team 288 is incorrect!
For correct match scores, OPR, DPR, and other information, please make sure you are looking at Team 216!
Thank You!

Now, for a little information on our teams!

Team 244:

Consistant 6-12 points in autonomous mode!
Wide orientation, and triple balanced 5 times this year!
District Winner at Troy District Competition!
District Finalist at Waterloo Regional!

Team 288:

Consistent 10 points in autonomous mode! (Made 19/24 at most recent competition!)
Scores an average of 4-6 baskets per match!
Alliance Captain at 2 tournament events!
Double/Coopertition balanced over 30 times this year!

Thanks for reading, and on behalf of all members of the RoboDawgs, Good Luck! :)

Nice to know we're appreciated. Spirit award belongs to Curie this year. Get Pumped!
CUUUUUUURIEEEEE!!!!!!

One more day of school until the Cyberhawks head down!!! Attention spans will be non-existent all day!

CURIE!!!!

So yeah, our last match with 987 was the first chance I got to watch their robot compete all year.

All I have to say is Mein Got. :eek:

Ha ha. Thanks! It was fun working with you guys. You have a great robot, and very good strategists.

Wow daisy lost a match.

Looks like there's only two teams left in Curie that are still undefeated. Unless I skimmed through the division standings too quickly.

Yes good luck to our friends on 1507 who are undefeated!!! Nice.

Thanks a lot. It sucks being stuck here at work, quietly cheering on my team via the NASA Broadcast.

And as I write this, looks like 987 racked up yet another win. I still can't get over how ridiculously accurate their shooter is.
