Having seen these guys climb their way to victory in Arkansas first hand, these guys are legit. Look out for them.

Will there be any teams in St. Louis who are not confident that they will do exactly that?

[faust1706]

How many teams are able to put the coloured frisbees into the pyramid? Either by shooting or by dumping? Just curious.

[Thad House]

We can do it from either the corner of the pyramid, or while hanging for 10 points.

[Dragonking]

has the team list changed at all, what teams have switched divisions?

We can climb to the top and dump all four colored disk in 21 seconds!! In both the Bayou Regional and Razorback Regional we had a 100% climb rate to the top.

Well it seems we have our work cutout for us when we go against you and HOT, with 2 50 point climber/dumpers in this match.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys have invented this year! I'll be returning as your Curie Field Supervisor this year! I've already spoken to a number of my field staff, many of which are coming from the field staff in Virginia! What'dya say we break the Curie Curse?! See some of you tomorrow, see the rest Thursday!

That makes their decision making sort of interesting since they can't both dump 4 colored discs. I figure one robot takes four colored discs and the other one takes two colored + two white and shoots two before climbing + dumping. But there are several other ways of looking at that type of situation.

If I remember correctly, at the Michigan State Championship, the #4 alliance had 2 climber/dumpers plus the alliance captain could score the pyramid discs from the ground.

I don't remember how things were split up, but you can watch their matches here:

We'll probably figure that problem out about 8:30am Saturday morning....

The team is travelling without me today, so I'm sitting around thinking about them and wishing them well... and I can't stand it.

So... I thought I'd give a heads-up to the Curie scouts on CD. After an unsatisfying regular season, we put in a lot of hard work over the last couple of weeks to improve. As a result, we have three subsystems (2 replacement, 1 new) to put on our robot tonight. We should be a different looking animal come Thursday morning.

I don't want to set any unrealistic expectations, so that's all I'm going to say. I just wanted to remind y'all to keep an eye out for the Bomb Squad.
