No worries...to beat Newton, all Curie has to do is reuse whatever master plan is developed to first beat Carver (e.g. 1114 and/or 2481). ;)

Just wanted to mention some quality teams from the PNW playing on Curie.

Team 4061 has a wicked low goal shooter and is very quick and driven well.

Just wish you were on Hopper with us this year again...:mad:

Re: 2016 Curie Subdivision
 

It's good to see a number of FiM teams I recognize (aside from the Toasters), and several I don't yet know, representing our state in this division. Looking forward to watching the webcast this week; this college student is stuck in the dreaded thing known as finals week and unfortunately can't be there in person. :p

Good luck everyone!

Re: 2016 Curie Subdivision
 

We love playing with you guys too. Best of luck to you!!!

Re: 2016 Curie Subdivision
 

What a great last couple of days. Good luck to all the teams tomorrow morning!

A huge shout out to 4061 for lending us some alcohol solution which dramatically improved our shooter's performance. We hit 5 / 5 high goals in our final qualification match today - https://youtu.be/0py3EN5nix0

Last second cool buzzer beater shot - https://youtu.be/Txs2LMiHqdA?t=2m20s

Re: 2016 Curie Subdivision
 

As our printer couldn't make the trek from California, I've attached out robot information sheet for other teams interested in us to look at. It has our general match strategies, statistics and component lists, and more. Feel free to ask here or stop by our pit if you have any more questions about our team or robot!

Summery: We are a low bar capable robot that can cross Class B and D defenses quickly and efficiently in both teleop and auto, and we can accurately shoot into the low goal 5-6 times per match and/or keep high goal shooters supplied with boulders. We also have a blocker constructed and can play defense. Like I said, if you have any questions ask away!

Re: 2016 Curie Subdivision
 

...

Wow. I can't say I've ever heard of or seen a #8 seed win any event, regional, district event, DCMP, or division. This alliance may have made history. Congratulations to teams 694, 3339, 379, and 1511 on winning Curie! Good luck on Einsteins!
