Curie cures your problems!
 

Hey this is the place for all Curie Division teams. Discuss strategies with fellow division teams and make new friends.

Also let's all try to get together to make the largest cheering section at Nationals. Our team has a ton of cheers to use. Let's make it the loudest Nationals yet.

Also, shout out to SVR alliance members, 47 and 114. Let's try to meet up again since we are in the same division. :D

Re: Curie Teams
 

problem- 138 should be on there somewhere and it isn't :ahh:

also, there are some strategy sheets in the white pages... if anyone wants to talk strategy

Re: Curie Teams
 

Wooops sorry about that. I took it from the list made by another user. I'll double check for errors.

Re: Curie Teams
 

sweet, lets come up with our oun cheer

Re: Curie Teams
 

oh man- our ally from the regionals is in our division!

maybe we'll play together again! BUZZ if a good-spirited team.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Awesome

The NYC Regional Winners are reunited

Team 233 and 522

Yeah 47 175 343 103 175 179 190

All the well known teams are there


There will definitely be some good matches.

Countdown till Nats as of 11:11 PM est. 9 Days till NatsThursdays Practice

Re: Curie Teams
 

I think 47 knows all about the What! Yea! cheer. I'll come up with some more tonight.

Re: Curie Teams
 

man I wish we were in this division... But we are in newton... You guys are going to have a tough division... Between 47, 1114, 61 (just to name a few) man... Thats going to be crazy... Look for me wit 100% tie-dye and over 250 buttons because I gotta see you guys rock out on the field...

Re: Curie Teams
 

I just want to let everybody know that Nationals is going to be a lot of fun, and I cannot hardly wait! I wish everybody (especially in the Curie Division) the best of luck at Nationals! :)

I am also glad to see that Teams 126, 166, and 175 will be staying at the OMNI with us (hopefully I have not missed anybody)! Maybe we can do something fun at the hotel or something.

I hope we get that overly enthusiastic announcer that does flying kicks and punches when introducing the teams for matches like last year (I think he dyes his hair blue).

Again, welcome to Curie, and good luck teams!

Re: Curie Teams
 

Mark Leon is his name. He does all of our West Coast regionals and more. Probably the most enthusiastic announcer in all of FIRST with his boxing-fight style team introductions and his somersaults (did one during the break-dancing competition at SVR). :D

Re: Curie Teams
 

Hey CrazyBear


You did forget one thing

The deciding colors of NYC Reg. will be re-united in the curie division

BTW: For all you west coast teams. Us East coasters will be kidnapping Mark Leon so that he may bring excitment to our part of the States. This is a negotiable Kidnapping. 60 Dozen Krispy Kremes Donut Combinations must be put together in individual baggies. Upon Receipt of KK.you will recieve Mark Leon and is crazy tactics in making the regionals the best place to be. Dunkin Donuts will not be accepted!!!!!:) :] :D ;)

Re: Curie Teams
 

i cant wait till Nationals... Curie w00t!

hah...i get to see 1114 even more, awesome robot and you guys dominated the Long Island Regional..see you guys down there

Re: Curie Teams
 

Good or bad news depending on how you look at it: 967 (my team!) has been in the winning div. for two years straight. I always got a funny feeling at nats that the div. would win and I am having it again. :ahh: 967 is the only St. Louis winner in our div. from the alliance so it should be interesting seeing all the diferent teams. Isn't 233 really pink?

Re: Curie Teams
 

YAY CURIE!!!! Someone from Curie will WIN THE NATIONALS!!! YAY! Team 1114 is in our division (hopefully another alliance). This is my first nationals (we qualified for the finals last year but weren't allowed to go because of a travel ban by our school board) :( Well, it's going to be AMAZING.

Re: Curie Teams
 

I'm all for cheering with 1097 and 114 again. At San Jose I think that we were the loudest ones there.

Re: Curie Teams
 

You betcha.

A taste of pink to come...

Lunch Break at UCF
Think Pink!

Re: Curie Teams
 

XDDDD

we're going to have so much fun at nationals!! its my first year on the team and i'm sooo excited; i cant wait! good luck to everyone (not just teams in Curie division but to teams in all of them!) but realize that this isnt really about winning or losing, but just having a great time with your newfound friends and celebrating how much you've accomplished in such a short time. i think everyone who even has had some sort of part in robotics is already a winner... it means you're making the right decisions in life and youre destined for greatness. ^_^

and going off of what CrazyBear said... Curie division: prepare to behold the power of PINK!!! :D

Re: Curie Teams
 

Re: Curie Teams
 

Iowa Hawkeye's football visiters locker room is pink for that same exact reason.

Re: Curie Teams
 

hahaha lol

Re: Curie Teams
 

How much pink will be there? (people) As for everyone else, how many people are you bringing?

Team 967 is bringing 92 people, on 2 buses, all the way from Iowa, not counting fans already in Atlanta, so almost 100 will have the Black and Red on! We've got hard hats, guess what, they're red. :o

Re: Curie Teams
 

Team 1006 is flying something like 50 people all the way from CANADA!!!And we're bringing Canadian Flags AND TORCH (our mascot that no one knows what it is) Beanine Babies!

Re: Curie Teams
 

You know swampthing Will Have its resinating Presence.

Bright GREEN!!

dude, that looks awesome with Bright Pink ;)

Re: Curie Teams
 

I the Curie divisonc we will have a good time cheering and Chiefdelphi will put up the biggest fight that we can to try to win nationals.

Re: Curie Teams
 

I believe there will be about 50 PINK people going to Nationals. Although I am not quite sure how many exactly if that is what you are refering.

Re: Curie Teams
 

As will many teams, I am sure :)

Re: Curie Teams
 

Let me just, say that the Curie division is going to take home the Nationals. There are a lot of formidable teams in the other divisions, but I am sure that they are no match for the skills that we posses.

With that off of my chest, let me add that MORT (#11) is planning on bringing down anywhere between 50-75 sutdents + approx. 10 mentors and 15 parents. After our first championship ever at Palmetto (thanks to team 122, and 281) we are looking forward to this National Event more than any other in our history.

One week seems like so far away, but blink and it'll will be upon us. We'll see you all at Nats!!!

Re: Curie Teams
 

It sounds fantabulicious everyone! I'm not sure how many 461 is bringing at the moment but I think it hits somewhere between 60-75 and above. -_-. Not everyone was at the meeting for this last night so I'm not certain. ^^ If anyone wants to trade shirts let me know. And hugs! Find me and give me hugs! I'll be wandering around cheering every single team (it's my reputation :P) and giving them out. Yay for advertising! Curie 2004 Represent!

Re: Curie Teams
 

YAHTZEE!
Silly! I love that. Lols. I was surprised you and your team said that. :)

Re: Curie Teams
 

Let's just hope. The only division Im afraid of that's going to win it all is the Archimedes. Other then that, we will all see what's going to happen. Let's go CURIE!

Re: Curie Teams
 

Glad to see so much excitement about the Curie division. I did a quick check and it looks like we have 48 teams in the division that were top 20 seeds in their regional comps. Some were seeded top 20 in multiple regionals too. Should make for an interesting week.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Out of all of the Curie robots which robot do you guys like the best?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Team 1114 has a pretty sweet machine.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Do you know where a pic of there bot is or can you tell me about it and what it does please?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Check http://www.simbotics.net

Re: Curie Teams
 

For a good summary of what our robot does, check out this thread...

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=26615

We've been incredibly conisistent at our last two events, hanging in 27 out of our last 29 matches. We've also been very successful at capping the stationary, which we did in our first 7 matches in Toronto. (We never tried to cap during the elimination rounds)

I'd say our greatest asset is our ability to control the bar. We can hook to the bar, then strafe side to side to defend. It's a pretty neat move.

I'm really excited about our division. We may not be garnering as much attention as the other three divisions, but I think there are more than enough top teams for Curie to form a powerhouse alliance.

Re: Curie Teams
 

1114 definately has a quality robot. Their best feature is obviously the fact they can consistently hang. Their robot is the type that I think will win the nationals. They can cap and hang and will probably go all the way in the Curie division.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ok I cant wait to check out 1114's robot in action at nationals...are there any other nominations for good robots?

Re: Curie Teams
 

I was surprised to see so few teams from the big East (NY, NJ, Penn) in our division. All of our teams biggest competition is in other divisions. I cant wait to work w/ all of the different teams. I look forward to these nationals. :cool:


Go MORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Curie Teams
 

967 us of course

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pi...&quiet=Verbose

Re: Curie Teams
 

Team 461 Westside Boiler Invasion is totally pumped to compete in the Curie Division. If anyone needs any help throughout the course of nationals, stop by our pits, there will be someone more than willing to help you out. Good luck to everyone in Curie, it will be a great division!

Re: Curie Teams
 

http://www.valleytech.k12.ma.us/robo...photos2004.htm

you can go here to see our robot.

This is our 10th year in FIRST. Hope to see all the good robots in action


I see there are some robots that have been to a lot of regionals. those robots should of gotten all the bugs out in time for the nationals

Re: Curie Teams
 

hey driver from 47 here, sorry we hit that patch of bad luck 1097 and 114, but it all fixed now and shouldnt happen again.
besides 1097 you were my favorite team there, when you guys did that bio-dome skip/clap thing i was really geared up.
hey in atlanta when we get a chance i can get alot of people form my team to join your and we can skip/clap around the whole stadium.
and maybe you guys should do a morning exercise too, get alot of teams involved, just gimme the word and i'll be there.
:ahh: and watch out! :ahh:
we got some new blow away new moves, cheering and robot strageties, we only are stracthing the surface!
~jason~

Re: Curie Teams
 

WOW! im soo jealous of this amazing division. all i can say is that you all better watch out for that 1114 machine. it is THE definition of greatness (well in my eyes anyways). but in all seriousness the simbotics machine is the epitome of the balance between versatility and power. i wish we were in this division so we could finish what we started in mississagua but alas, itll haveto wait untill next year...

good luck to everyone who must face the simbotics machine, youll be in for a suprise. those crazy kanucks ( jk guys :D) are always pulling something out of their sleeves.

and of course id wish good luck to simbotics but they make their own.

go kick some robot,
Paco

Re: Curie Teams
 

All right, morning exercises! Just have one giant fitness expo. "Robotics? What's that? We're here for the warm-ups!"

Yeah let's try to get that cooridinated for the skip/clap. Our normal "exercise guru" won't be there but we'll find a replacement. Maybe we should try to get the entire stadium to follow?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Re: Curie Teams
 

YEA CURIE!! yay for....... not being with any of our SPBLI regional finalist alliance partners :( .... thats ok we can make new friends!!! who wants to be 810's new Curie friends!?!? :D

Re: Curie Teams
 

We are in Curie. Unfortunately for us, our Chesapeake champion partners (16 and 1405) are in other divisions. Oh well. I thought I through in an underdog into the mix of possible champion teams.

1319 - The Golden Strip Flash. They've done very well at the two regionals they went to (Chesapeake and Palmetto). They do better every time and I wouldn't be surprised if they go all the way to the final four.

Also, don't forget about us, 449. We won the Chesapeake regional, our autonomous mode is fixed (it didn't work at the regional), and our chin-up, in my opinion, is one of the most accurate out there. But enough modesty...

Good luck to all.

Re: Curie Teams
 

ok you definitely cant say that....anything can happen...and we are bringing down like around 30 kids if that...and some parents and mentors....and dont be so arrogant....we did do good and we did win palmetto....but there are better robots than ours...we may have a strong drive train but thats not everything....it depends on who we are allianced with and who we are against....george you cant go around saying we are gonna win

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ok, at first when talking to our coach he gave me the original number so, I apologize for that mixup. And as for my comment about the power we posess, I wasn't talking about our team specifically, I was refering to the division. Teams 47, 61, 103, 233, 449, and 1319 just to name a few, with these powerhouses in our division I'm sure that Curie is taking the Nationals this year. Sorry if I sounded arrogant at first, it wasn't my intention.

Re: Curie Teams
 

who said your sounding arrogant you just have a positve attitude saying that we are the strongest division. i would love to see my team win but it would be good if some one in our division won!

Re: Curie Teams
 

I think that under any circumstances, we can definitly yell the loudest and be the most spirited and happy division in the whole thing no matter where we stand at the championship finals. I wish everyone the best of luck, and would like to invite all of you to join me in wearing 'Free Hug' signs. The more the merrier!

Re: Curie Teams
 

Curie Will Rock The house! Good luck to all the teams!

Any Curie Teams Staying At the Hyatt?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ill wear one! So will some of the kids on my team what team # and who do i ask for? Ill be in 498 ask for Adam

Re: Curie Teams
 

as far as I'm concerned, we're all friends in curie. We'll just have to see what happens! :cool:

Re: Curie Teams
 

Team 57 chose and led alliance #2 to victory at the Lone Star Regionals. We have a robot that hangs from the side...we hung every time except for once at Lone Stars. We have the ability to bring down other hanging robots, as long as they are near us on the bar.

For those who were at the Great Lakes Regional...we had a handicapped robot because a gear in our tranny kept stripping and we were stuck in low gear. Luckily, this was fixed in time for the Lone Star Regional.

I look forward to meeting all you guys and gals, as well as the l33t machines that we have managed to come up with. Good luck to all.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Yes we were with 16 in St. louis and yes they will be missed, however there are some REALLY good teams in Curie so I'm not sad. Who else will be driving the bots and what year is this for you driving?
(I drive our bot and it's my third and final year driving. :-(

Re: Curie Teams
 

Curie is certainly going to be a lot of fun again this year. Last year, 343 (with 25) emerged from Curie and came within a whisker of winning it all. The division finals in Curie last year were some of the toughest matches I've ever seen. We were partnered with 87 (Curie again also) and 650 against the 343 alliance. By the time the dust settled, 25 was using a pry bar to get "unbent" and we needed a rather large hammer and a significant amount of force to reset an arm. Those were fun times, but looking at the 2004 list it should be every bit as exciting.

11, 22, 34, 47, 61, 66, 87, 175, 233, 343 ... the list goes on and on....
15 Regional Winners, four #1 seeds, 32 top-ten finishers, four hall of fame teams...

See you all very soon.

Re: Curie Teams
 

ahhhh soo much dang pINK!!! what about the Blue man Group?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ok after doing some research by both sitting with and participating with this is what i got thus far

CHIEFDELPHI - THE ORANGEST / BLACKEST TEAM EVER HERD AND SEEN - Anyone who tries to challenge CD's Team Spirit will fail. They are the most Team Spirited Team out there. You would have better chances in being one with CD then to be against them :-) I know this from the 2001 NYC Regional Experience. If I had to let MOE and CD do a Spirit Contest CD would win the Cheers part and MOE would only walk away with the Noise Makers part. :) However as years go by MOE will eventually beat CD in a undeclared Spirit Contest:p

SWAMP THING - THE GREENEST TEAM EVER SEEN
MOE - THE GREENEST / BLACKEST TEAM EVER HERD AND SEEN
PINK TEAM - THE PINKEST AND COOLEST TEAM EVER SEEN (THEIR PINK COLOR HAS THE ABILITY TO GIVE THE ROOM LIGHT)
ROBOWIZARDS - PURPLEST / SILVEREST TEAM TO BE SEEN

Re: Curie Teams
 

I'm looknig for a little bit of info on team 989's robot this year. does any one know where i could find some good info?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Thank you very very very much for the wonderful compliment towards our team. We are going to be louder than ever at Nationals, whether we may win or lose. Everyone can always join in on the fun. :D Let's make the Curie division the loudest to our possibilities! See you there....

Re: Curie Teams
 

PM me if you want my help, I'm to busy to post anything really detailed.

Re: Curie Teams
 

This is our first nationals 2 (prolly cuz we're rookie teams) well neway that doesnt matter, what matters is that Curie is gonna win the "Chip"

Re: Curie Teams
 

You should do a general search on here for 989. Also, check out Team 108, the SOAP Website has information on teams and their performance from the different regionals.
Soap Website for Scouting 2004

Re: Curie Teams
 

I'm not sure who the MC for our field is this year but I just found out that I will be announcing. Last year we had the best (lost by a hair in finals) and loudest field in Houston. If Mark Leon is back as MC I know he will have a small wager on winning against Archimedes Field. He lost last year but now is the time to even it all up. WE ARE # 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Any Questions?

Re: Curie Teams
 

In case anybody needs help in the pits, you can come over to 233's. We'll be more than happy to help anybody that needs it. That goes for teams in any division. See ya in the pits.

Re: Curie Teams
 

Same thing goes for team 11. You need help, come and see us!

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ditto team 138 :)

Re: Curie Teams
 

Don't forget to ask for a New Jersey pin!

Re: Curie Teams
 

Do you know what Division you are MCing in or who is MCing Curie division?

Re: Curie Teams
 

I am announcing on Curie. I was not told who the MC was. It seems that they are using the same people on the same fields as last year. If so and Mark Leon comes then he will probably MC. I'll find ou Wednesday.

Re: Curie Teams
 

That is totally sweet because Mark Leon is the shizzle. Nice to hear that our announcer is from Canadia. We need see more international teams, eh?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Ay that's true. How many teams from our neighbors in the north are in Curie Division?

Re: Curie Teams
 

Team #1006 P.P.H.S. Robotics
Team #1114 Simbotics

I guess only two. Well at least it is better than nothing.

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!

Re: Curie Teams
 

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.

Re: Curie Teams
 

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

THANK YOUS
 

I know its a bit late to do this, since other team members have already done it, but I would like to give a HUGE thank you to teams 279 and 66. It showed that the best alliance IS a fast hanger and a small ball/big ball manipulator. Together, 279, 66, and 461 completed almost every objective on the field, and even if we didn't win the Nationals, we did GREAT!!! (plus, we came Pretty Close)

Anyways, a HUGE Thank you to teams 279 and 66

I will post more thank yous later :D
