Shhh. Kevin is one of our secret weapons

For a regional that often gets overlooked, its prett cool to see 4 of the top 40 teams played in the Wisconsin Regional Finals.

#8. 987 [242] - The only undefeated team left in Rebound Rumble, with a 32-0 record. Mobile, well driven, and accurate from the key.
#10. 1986 [166] - Highly effective from both the fender and the key. Have a slew of features to help with triple balancing, though they have yet to pull it off.
#11. 254 [148] - Has yet to deliver a Poof-caliber performance in Rebound Rumble, but has clearly demonstrated the potential is there. Even with the hiccups, still reached the finals at both events (winning SVR).
#17. 971 [109] - Quick and effective fender scoring machine. Won both of their events this season.
#21. 1507 [89] - Smart play and great driving helped them win both of their events, including an undefeated run at Buckeye. Impressive 33-2 record on the season.
#25. 1477 [76] - Outlasted several bigger names to win Alamo, went undefeated at Bayou, and fought hard in the finals at Lone Star. Terrific fender scoring machine.
Others receiving votes: 233 (53), 624 (52)

Curie seems like it is well represented here overall. We are honored to be a part of this list and have every intention of backing it up on the field. We've been blessed to work with some outstanding alliance partners this year and are looking forward to using the copious amount of time between matches to strategise with our new alliance and coopertition partners.

And while we have "yet to" triple... We have also never failed a triple attempt. We are certainly trained in the arts of the triple, and have equipment and dimensions that make us the perfect first robot on, middle robot on, and or last robot the bridge. We are hoping that this flexibility opens up more possibilities for our elimination alliance's other pick and also makes it harder to defend as we switch up which side of the bridge we balance from on the fly.

Team Titanium especially; since they're a local team, I usually get a pretty good look at their robot and it is crazy to be able to say "I've gotten to watch some of their rise to elite status." is just amazing. And I have their tshirt too!

Ask away. Great teams often collaborate in ways that are benneficial to both parties. We look forward to developing more of those relationships with great teams like yours.
