Not even FIRST'ers could fix that unless we made the entire team out of robots.

Up until somewhere around 2000, teams at Nationals rotated fields--so your division might be on any one of the 5 fields (or was it only 4 back then? I forget).

The latest the current setup could have started was 2003 Championship (in Houston). So, the Curie Curse ran from 2003 (or so) through 2013, then broken. 11 to 14 years, no more, and no less.

I know we had divisions in 2002 - SPAM got a banner, I forget which division (team information doesn't list it). If you look at Beatty's Team information it lists Newton division champion for 2001 and 2002 so they must have had divisions then.

The field rotation was with Einstein (it was used as a fifth division field). The divisions were in air conditioned tents at Epcot and Einstein had outdoor seating in the afternoon Florida sun. Each division rotated through Einstein during quals.

There were no divisions in 1999 - I remember the painful alliance selections, we finished 19th seed overall (fell from 8th after our last match), top 16 teams got to pick and we didn't get picked. So either 2000 or 2001 was the first year of divisions. Pretty sure it was 2001.

Next years game should be robot baseball, and the best bots should play a 7 game series against the Cardinals. It would be amazing.

Ha, when 254 missed those auto balls in the 2nd finals match, we were all screaming "The curse!!!"

[Justin Lawrence]

Congrats to teams 254, 469, 2848, and 74 for becoming world champions and breaking the Curie curse! Also teams 1678, 1114, 1640, and 5136 put on an amazing fight. Those were some of the best finals matches I have ever seen.

Also allied with team 308 from Farmington Hills. That year 3 on an alliance in elims, 2 on the field at a time and you had to play all 3.
