Hopefully this will make pit scouting 102 teams a little easier.
If you have any suggested changes please email or PM me.

There are restrictions on your pit scouting database, it won't allow some people to access it.

I see 4 MAR teams right of the bat: 103, 293, 1923, and first-year team 193

Could be more that I missed

I can't wait to see eliminations with all these teams.

On which note, going to plug CrowdScout for all the teams on Curie. If you're completely uninterested in scouting, you should probably skip the rest of this message.

CrowdScout is Team 1306's new initiative for collaborative scouting. We can cut down the amount of time participants spend scouting at an event by a huge amount by working together and sharing data, freeing up more time to enjoy the tournament and participate in the myriad of other things that occur at FIRST Championship. If we have 150 matches, and 102 teams with 6 scouters per team, collectively we will spend 143 days actively scouting, discounting time waiting for field reset and so forth. If half the teams on Curie worked together with CrowdScout, they would spend around 2 days scouting. When we ran CrowdScout at the Wisconsin Regional, we worked with Piratech (4804) and both teams cut their scouting loads in half, allowing us to free up scouters to participate in other parts of the tournament.

We do this by having fewer scouters taking redundant data on each match. With our current plan, we have two scouters focusing on each robot per match, though if everyone involved would rather have more for either more redundant data or more data points CrowdScout is flexible enough to accommodate. Furthermore, CrowdScout could intake data from many sources - while 1306 uses a laminated paper sheet system because we prefer it, we could easily integrate data from teams with more technologically advanced scouting systems. If you're curious about integrating your data, PM me and we can discuss it.

If you're interested, there's a CrowdScout thread, and a (rarely active) subreddit.

1503 is really excited! Field looks competitive, let's break the curse this year!

[PayneTrain]

This year's theme: Will OP deliver (a championship banner to the Curie Division)?

[holygrail]

So many amazing teams in Curie this year! Can't wait to meet new people and make new friends. Stop by the pit and say Hi. We aren't hard to find, just look for the killer rabbit hats.

Elims are going to be legendary.

Here's another way 2056 might beat Adversity: break the Curie Curse.

[Nemo]

2056 wins the Championship this year. They are the best team not to win a championship yet, but even if you disagree, next year it won't be necessary to argue whether they're ahead of 233 (and other teams) on that list.

[Dragonking]

so 99 teams in the division?

Greetings to all teams in the Curie division!

We are team 1577, Steampunk from Israel.
As an Israeli team, we are not permitted to bring batteries or chargers to our pit, neither are we allowed to bring our pit structure along with us.
We are given two batteries alone from FIRST, and as you may know, that is no way near sufficient.
We graciously ask for your aid, we would be extremely grateful if any team would be as kind as to lend us a few batteries.

Thank you for your help and good luck to all the Curie division teams out there!

It's going to be fun!
