The Curie Curse Has Been Broken!!!
 
THE CURSE HAS BEEN BROKEN!!! For the first time in 25 years, the winners of the Curie Division have gone on to win Einstein! Congrats to the victors, Teams 254, 469, 2848, and 74, for being crowned the 2014 FRC World Champions! The Newton alliance of 1678, 1114, 1640, and rookie 5136 certainly put up an amazing fight.

So, what do we do now that the curse is no more? :yikes:

EDIT: So NOW do we all get free corndogs?!?

This changes everything

Well, next year there will apparently be 4 divisions that have never won on Einstein!

Leave it to a bunch of STEM kids to prove there's no such thing as a curse!

I wonder if Travus has anything to say about the curse being broken?

Oh, please, no! Tell me that they at least never touched the Einstein carpet.

Nah don't worry they're on the top part of their claw. We're safe. :)

We fix it.

Also, has FIRST actually had this setup for 25 years?

Nope. Not by a long shot.

For starters, FRC isn't 25 years old, though FIRST is. FRC started play in 1992.
Next, there was only one competition for several years, so that knocks that time down further.
Up until somewhere around 2000, teams at Nationals rotated fields--so your division might be on any one of the 5 fields (or was it only 4 back then? I forget).

The latest the current setup could have started was 2003 Championship (in Houston). So, the Curie Curse ran from 2003 (or so) through 2013, then broken. 11 to 14 years, no more, and no less.




If we really wanted a challenge, anybody want to go after the Chicago Cubs' curse? It's only been 106 years since they won a World Series, right?
