I know how you feel, Gael Force has had terrible luck, we are however, a great bot, we have consistent autonomous, we score 6-7 tubes per match, and we do have a 1.5 second mini bot, our alliance schedule has just not worked at all, and our roller bound the last match so we had to herd tubes, ahh well we just hope someone picks us haha

You guys don't have to try and sell your teams on here. The good teams scout. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

To be honest... posts like this, and your previous additions to this thread are more of a turn off from your team than anything else. I agree with Akash, the good teams scout, if you are good you will get scouted.

In my opinion, the posts you are making are not flattering your team. Pick Me, Pick Me may be fine to yell during the alliance selections if you feel you really must, but I doubt that people reading CD right now are in the position to read what you have written and make any useful scouting conclusions from it, aside from that fact that you think your team is really really good despite yielding lack luster results on the field.

i agree with akash.

i think i just had a different, unpro. way of putting it in your eyes

It appears I have missed a lot while in St. Louis, and it's probably a good thing. I really hope Curie teams weren't swayed into a negative opinion of 573 due to the posts that were deleted.

I will reiterate what has already been said. Robert, ever since you registered, your posts have been extremely nonconstructive. Everything I have seen from you has been self centered and at the point of spam. You also need to improve on your grammar. This isn't Facebook, so capital letters, proper punctuation, and complete words and sentences are necessary. Seriously, think before you post next time.

despite yielding lack luster results on the field

I wouldn't call beating 2056 on Thursday and 67 on Saturday lackluster results. Our match schedule wasn't necessarily friendly and we knew we couldn't win them all. We carried our alliance in most of our matches, yet everybody should know that teams can't always win by themselves. In some matches, we gave into our partners who insisted that we execute a certain strategy, which ended up not working out. Personally, I felt that we proved that we could compete with the big dogs.

I'm not trying to say that we were the best, or even anywhere close to the best. Could we have done better? Probably, but we are still proud of our performance, and we certainly aren't a bad team just because of a few deleted posts in this forum.


With that being said, I had a good time at the Championship and competing with and against the other Curie teams.
