Yeah totally my fault, that post was decently ealier for me :)

Yes as to go from what XaulZan11 said, i never said that 33 was the best team out there.. They come in year after year with good machines and if i see them on the alliance wall across from me, i am already scared on the pure expirence of the team

This is our first time at the Finals. We intend to sneak under the radar and be there in the eliminations before anyone realizes it. We're not called Stealth for nothing.:)

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

Im curious to see not so much to see which teams make it to the finals, but rather which kind of robots. To go back to the arm vs. launcher debate, we have a bunch of good arms, and a bunch of good launcher, it'll be interesting to see how this division goes, two arms, two launchers, or one of each.

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

I by no means meant to imply that you guys aren't a top tier team, I have a lot of respect for how your team comes out with great robots each year. I just think that a lot of people exaggerate how good some of the 'veteran' teams are without knowing their status. Their are certain teams that I think get over rated by others just because of previous performance and not because of true ability and results. A lot of these teams I have a lot of respect for, I just think that they get good press for the wrong reasons.

2053 is leaving shortly. We wish everyone safe travels and best of luck.

May Curie prevail on Einstein.

At 3am Eastern Standard Time.. Team 326 will begin the 14 hour trip down to hotlanta.. If any Curie teams are hanging at the Hilton let us know.. Maybe we can work out some scouting teams that can benifit all with less the work.. Or we can just party!!! :)

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

We're staying at the Hilton (Garden Inn to be exact)!

I approve of partying :D If you guys bring Laptops you could come join our Armagetron Lan party.

Or we could scout... :rolleyes:

Who else from Curie is staying at the Hilton?

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

Good Luck all - I'll be watching from Work and Class haha...

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

team 358 is staying at the hilton, and maybe we can work something out for scouting. This is going to be fun.

418 has been here since mid-morning. We've toured Georgia Tech, eaten at the Varsity, driven by the Dome, and are waiting to get into our rooms.

The azaleas are in full bloom as are the dogwoods. It is gorgeous here, blue blue skies. Chilly for folks like me. A light jacket will be nice to have.

As you look around at the buildings, you can see the damage/windows/plywood coverings. Its impact is significant. Kudos to everyone who has worked in helping the Championship happen.

Atlanta is awesome!

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

GaTech is an awesome place to go to school if you can make it past the first year. Maybe I'm just biased though ;)

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

We called one of our '04 alumni who is a senior there, and he met us and went to the Varsity with us. It was great! He'll be volunteering Saturday so we'll get to see him again. He volunteered at Peachtree and filled me in on that exciting and incredible experience and also, about the tornado. whew!

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

I've been looking around for a Curie match list for Friday and Saturday. I've searched the forums, but haven't found anything. Does anybody know where one would be online?

Re: Curie Division 2008
 

There is a list of matches on usfirst.org specifically, this link, you can see today's results, tomorrows matches, awards, etc.

Also, I would like to thank all the wonderful teams that I have meet, who my team has been paired with, and I would also like to wish all the teams GREAT luck for the rest of the comptition and for off-season this year!

MADAME CURIE!!!!
