Congratulations to 1241, 1477 and 610 from Galileo division!

When you guys are at one hundred percent in autonomous and teleoperation, there was absolutely no stopping you at all.

It's an amazing feeling to come home not being able to see the championships and seeing one of the guys who taught you most everything you know win the title of World Champion. Congrats Nick Lawrence, the rest of 610, 1477, and 1241! You guys definitely deserve the title.

GOO Canada!!!! 610 and 1241

Huge congrats to 1241, 610, and especially 1477. It's been one heck of a rollercoaster year for 1477 and it's great to see them end it on such a high note. And especially great to see them bringing that kind of hardware back to Texas. I'm expecting a shrine at the Fall Remix this year, guys. Erm, and maybe give the robot a rest at the Remix since you've worked it so hard this year? (Seriously, that robot has to have three seasons worth of hours on it by this point.)

Congratulations to 1241, 610, and especially 1477!!! 1477 has had excellent robots over the past several years and overcame some obstacles this year just to make it to St Louis. You guys are a top notch team and I'm so glad all your hard work has paid off with a World Championship.

1241,610,1477 What can I say.....AWESOME work...your alliance deserves a hearty round of applause. Congratz to the three of you. Well done.

Huge congrats are definitely in order to 1241, 1477, and 610 - you guys were truly exceptional!

We really enjoyed 610 coming down to New Hampshire to play at the Granite State Regional... we definitely were not expecting to meet again on Einstein! You guys are a class act with a great robot!

1241, I do not know much about your team from this year... I do specifically recall working with you in 2011 on Curie in qualifications - I was very impressed! You guys are great at making the most of all your resources at the event to do your best to win the match!

1477... I know little about your team and have rubbed shoulders... but I've watched from New England as you guys become a Texas powerhouse to match any other!

1477, goes to 4th regional to qualify for Championship.

Goes to championship, wins Championship.

Well played.

Also, 610/1241 are no joke. Awesome play by both machines and excellent play by the whole alliance. Definitely some of the best final matches in a LONG time.

Congratulations to all three on the alliance - brilliant play throughout the whole event's eliminations, taking every match to a rubber and then winning it all! I don't know too much about the Canadian teams, but after playing with 1477 in two regionals this year and in several years past, I'm glad their dedication and hard work paid off.

[MagiChau]

Also, now 1477 doesn't have to fret about qualifying for Championship next year like they did this year.

Great Job Galileo Alliance! Congrats from 842! We would have love to been on Einstein, but having you three win the world title is the next best thing. At lease we can say we lost to the best! Special thanks to 610 for the kind friendship they shared since coming to AZ regional where we were partnered up with them for the win! Hope to compete as partners again maybe next year on Einstein!

[Travis Hoffman]

I was standing right next to them - figured I'd make myself useful.

Never give up...never surrender! Huge congratulations to Teams 1241, 1477, and 610 - it was a privilege being a point-blank witness to your awesome, gritty, determined, tenacious, resilient, professional, insert superlative here accomplishment, from the beginning of divisional eliminations to the final match buzzer on Einstein!

I see a few posts saying "Don't know much about 1241".

I know a thing or two about them... they are one of the reasons our team was able to get started in FRC when they offered to billet us for GTR back in 2004. We were both rookies, but they were the Rookie All-Star and had a uniquely effective machine.

They are one of the many Ontario teams (as is 610) that while well-known in Canada, are perhaps less well-known across FRC than 1114 and 2056.

But I guess they are a bit more well-known now... and I should add that they are just as awesome off the field as on.

Congratulations 1241 (and 610 and 1477)... what a way to cap a decade of hard work!

Storm Robotics 2729 had the pleasure of playing with 610 in one of our qualification matches. What a great group of people to work with, always keeping their cool and professionalism throughout. I'm very happy for you!

We didn't have the chance to work with 1477 and 1241 but recognize their dedication to excellence from my observations in the pit and on the field. Job well done to all!
