Ha yeah. You guys did great this year; that really was unfortunate.

I don't think anybody could have predicted this championships. The semifinals were so intense I just lost it. I thought the chess match on Einstein last year was intense, but the can grabber wars and stacking was just unbeatable.

It turns out Kevin predicted this year's champs, with the exception of the 3rd pick. We didn't win, but we were finalists! Thanks Kevin, you brought our team far!

148-1114-900, 2826-987-4265,
I also predicted 1690 and 27 would team up.
I've had so much luck this week.

No need to scout all the teams anymore... I'll just ask you for your prediction and go straight to strategizing for that alliance!

I like predicting crazy upsets that are going to be totally wrong.
Plus I personally just want to see a few of these teams go to Einstein. Maybe if I just will it hard enough...

3 out of 4 on Curie ain't bad. Got to say though, I didn't see it coming.

We made a good run at it, Sean. You were captain of your alliance in the Finals in your division and we (Team 3663) were captain of our alliance in the Finals in Curie. Team 492 made it as a 4th pick to Einstein.

I think it's going to take the PNW's continued presence at World's to have the rest of the teams in the country sit up and take notice. PNW makes up 6% of the active teams in FRC. 12.5% of Captains in divisional Finals were from PNW. PNW doesn't seem to be on their radar much - you (4488) would get a mention here and there but not nearly what your record warranted. The rest of us weren't really mentioned at all - anywhere outside of PNW, that is.

That's okay. We'll just keep showing up and performing.

Great job at World's 4488. You did the PNW proud.

NOBODY saw the 118-1678-1671-5012 alliance happening. Frankly I was shocked that 1671 was still available, but hey, I'm not complaining.
