1503 was selected by 987 into the #2 alliance on Newton, but lost to 25, 968, and 195 during the Newton semi-finals in one of the most intense set of matches I have ever seen (all 3 matches rival the final match on Einstein in the sheer level of competition). 1680 was selected by 1468 into the #5 alliance on Curie. 121, 65, and 1511 would topple 1680 in the QFs in 3 matches. 70 selected 1114 into the #1 Curie alliance, and beat the #4 alliance (121, 65, and 1511, who beat 1680) in the SFs. 503, 451, and 1139 would then beat the #1 alliance in the Curie finals.

way to go 296,217,522 you guys played great.....would have loved to face you guys in the finals!!!! congrats!!!!!!!

Re: 2006 National Champions
 

We played alot of good teams this past weekend, but I must say 1503 was the most intimidating. We built our drive train to push, but couldn't move 1503 an inch.

Re: 2006 National Champions
 

Call me crazy, but I just got back from a near 24 hour sojourn (bus had mechanical problems) from Atlanta and the first thing I do is go on ChiefDelphi to express my sincere congratulations to the winning alliance of 296, 217 and 522.

Of course special congratulations does go out to Team 296, who broke through a number of records this past weekend, including being the highest seeded Canadian team ever, first Canadian team to make it past divisional semi-finals, first to reach Einstein and of course first team to win a national championship. It has been long overdue and I am very very glad to see a team of such calibre and a robot of such construction make it.

As mentioned before, all 3 robots attended the Greater Toronto Regional and all performed very well. Perhaps this is indeed a sign of things to come for those who attend GTR.

Hey Jack is that suppose to be Darren or Dearrin or the Day He Ran - Anyways Good Job Champs! See you today (Monday).


And as for the triplets that was the biggest upset I have ever seen I thought for sure that there would be at least one or two triplets in the Final Matches =(
But hey In either case Archimedes brought out the best matches and closest scores and the 3 best robots to get the job done. Good job to all 334 teams who have participated, Once again the Chairmans Award Winner, The Woodie Flowers Award Winner, The National Champs, The Divisional Champs, and all the many other misc. Award Winners. A Game Well played.

Re: 2006 National Champions
 

1114 made it to the Curie finals as well, so the question is, which of the two Canadian teams accomplished that feat earlier in the day??? The time difference could be a matter of minutes. The world may never know. :p

Re: 2006 National Champions
 

This years Championship was the very best in my opinion. Not only did me and a few students and engineers find out the hard way of not getting in contact with our bus to pick us up (ending up getting in the back of a Envoy with six other people). But also the experience of watching the rookies on the team with their reaction when entering the arena and the pit area for the first time. And seeing our team for the first time in my three years on the team make it to the finials of our division with two awesome robots team 70 More Martians and 1114 simbotics. All in all I think this year at Championship is a experience I am sure I will never forget!
