A few Curie shout outs from Team 3824....
Team 67 - I was coach of a FLL team years ago that qualified for the "World Festival" in Atlanta. Staying in the same hotel was this huge team of HOT high school kids. My kids and I talked to a number of the students and mentors at the hotel. It was our first exposure to FRC. We were all extremely impressed and I've been a fan of Team HOT ever since. So, I was excited when I saw that we were in the same division this year.
Your robot was extremely impressive and it was great to be able to meet some of your team in the pits.
Team 359 - Very exciting match against your team, with your alliance winning 152-141. After the match, one of your mentors came up to members of our drive team and complimented them on their play. Very cool, very classy.
We got banged pretty good that match, and unfortunately did not realize that our gyro came unplugged until our next match Saturday morning, where in autonomous mode we spun in circles for a while and then launched three frisbees up into the crowd. Oops!
Team 1310 and 1684 - It was great playing with you in the elimination rounds. Thanks so much to Team 1310 for the invite - I believe that the 231 points we put up together in the qualifications remained the high score on Curie.
Team 16 - Your ground pickup was fantastic. We loved having the chance to play a match together.
Teams 2056, 967 and 3990 - You guys were dominating. I was rooting for you after you took us out, and was disappointed how things ended for you.
Team 4814 - You were an amazing defensive force. The match we played together with you in qualification was awesome. Great strategy, well executed. You went undefeated and took home too many awards for your alliance captain to hold onto - what an incredible display you put on!
And finally, major congrats to the Curie champs of 1678, 862, 148!! We were of course all rooting for you on Einstein.
