Re: Curie Teams
 

Team 845 (at least some of us) will be haning out at Nationals on Friday. We'll most likley be haning around Curie since that's where our sister team 343 is going to be. Not to mention one of the absolutley coolest teams I've ever had the pleasure of knowing: 233. I'll be travelling around the other devisions to see my friends at SPAM and ComBBat. But I will be hanging around Curie the most. Good luck to all teams! By the way if I can I'll be bringing a camera, so I want to take many pictures of/with people from different teams! :D

See you there!

YAY CANADA!!!!@ Team 1006 will be loud and proud in the Curie Division. We will be handing out Canadian Flags!

Re: Curie Teams
 

On the flight to Atlanta, I was thinking about all the discussion pertaining to what division the eventual National Champion may come from.

If the National Champion Alliance was to come from Curie (and I think all Curie Teams hope that happens), that means they would need to beat some formidable alliances from the other divisions.

Hypothetically (and in fun), what game plan and strategy would you propose that the successful Curie Alliance would employ to beat another powerhouse alliance that was made up of, say, 254 and 67 (purely hypothetical OF COURSE!) that collectively are capable of an offensive assault of 200+ points?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Thats easy, lost and lots of DEFENSE. That finals at nats tend to usually be defensive.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Hey Curie, Congratulations! You all rock, and I think that just needs to be said. Thank you for all your talent making mine among many other peoples' first championship event so fantastic. I saw some of the most amazing intellect and skill and spirit in the world here, and I probably gave you all hugs too. So congratulations all of Curie.

THINK PINK did awsome this past week! did great... and i loved that match we won when we were both turtles on our backs lol...

THANKS 279 and 66
 

So, nationals are over, and it was a great time, but it clearly would not have been so without the great alliance partners Team 279 and Team 66 over in the Curie Division. First and foremost, I want to thank you for selecting us as one of the alliance partners. It really and truely was a pleasure to work with all of you out there on the field. As an alliance I think we made the best decisions which resulted in top notch performance. We had a great Curie Division run and were really able to show people what we could do when we were paired up together. Thanks for the great opportunity, the great memories, and the hardware. Great effort, great strategy, great people, that's what this alliance was all about.

Thanks again!

Re: THANKS 279 and 66
 

I'm going to concur. This was my third competition driving, and I really appreciate 279 and 66 for picking us--you guys are awesome. I think the machines complimented each other well and the alliance was one with excellent teamwork. Best of luck in the future, guys, and I hope to see you around and perhaps team up with you again.

Re: THANKS 279 and 66
 

Ditto here. Considering that 2/3 of the alliance were the Great Lakes Regional winners, it was awesome.
Thanks so much 279 and 461.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Just think if our arm did not break we would of hung and you guys would of have gotten a score of 250 points

Sorry about putting 233 and 126 on your back. it was fun to watch but after all that, we still didn't win. go figure. 126 score so many balls quickly that it was hard to over come

Re: Curie Teams
 

Can someone please post a list of all the matches?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Freddy - they are posted on the FIRST website. No need to post them here.

Re: Curie Teams
 

How is it possible to win a match with the entire alliance flipped??? What match was this cause I wanna go to soap and watch the video now...

Re: Curie Teams
 

Qualifying Match #25

61 and 816 with 50 points
126 and 233 with 75 points

Re: Curie Teams
 

we got a 15 points taken away. they said the robot went in to the ball coral and then the last ball to go in was after the buzzer. we still think both of those are bogas calls but o well
