I would like to say, after competing with the best of the best in the world, that myself, and the entirety of team 1986 really enjoyed the unusual amount of mutual teamwork we were so welcome to in our alliances. Teams can get so focused with the robot that they forget about the team of drivers controlling that machine. I have seen some teams that just do not care about what the alliance had to say about any strategy or plans, but Curie was one of the nicest group of teams that I have competed with. So thanks!
To 888, 1676, and 1421, all of you guys were a great (super-)alliance, and arguably the best alliance of people I have ever teamed with. I saw zero problems with the team, no human player compromise issues, and everyone just worked together fluently, even with our robot issues, and our riddiculous set of quarterfinal matches. 1421 really came in the clutch after all of that, and really stepped up. You guys were really pivotal to get all three of us to the finals. Even faced against 1114 and 469, we worked together amazingly!
I would like to say to anyone reading this post, remember that FRC is not just about competing with the robot; your teams personality will show when you join alliances, so be a team that people want to team up with, not just with your robot, but with your own graciousness towards the game and the players.
Thanks again Curie! Great Division!
