The biggest thing I think I will always remember about this year is that it made it clear that the GDC hears a lot.

We learned the real Curie curse was once you win champs as a Curie team, mysterious forces will prevent you from making Einstein ever again...

Unremarkable high scores in elims in light of relatively low to no defense.

[Connor McBride]

330. Enough said.

Stronghold will go down in history as the "Great Pneumatic Wheel Shortage". I believe everyone will also remember it as one of the most abusive years. Last year our robot never broke, this year we were surprised when we rolled our robot into the pit every once in awhile and find out that nothing broke.

That mysterious force has a name it is called gravity

Maybe field damage; how many field elements were damaged... or the penalties/red cards.��

[chandrew]

Tipping fouls specifically.

I will remember it as the year of close matches. So many matches on Einstein were decided by 5 points or less.

I would have loved to remember this as the year 2056 traded in their streak to take the final world championship, but there is no denying that the beach bots played out of their goddamn minds. 2056's defense bot played so incredibly well too, that defense was truly a wonder to watch. 987 finally entered into the Hall of Fame. Carver came out of the blue to go all the way. Whatever people think about the tiebreakers, I will look fondly back on this year.

Also 1690's pre-match flair was really fun to watch

Newton being stacked, having its 7th seed win, and then going out in quarters on Einstein. What a journey.

How incredibly equal this game made everyone. Look at how many #2 alliances lost early today. I truly believe that many matches could be replayed and the other alliance would win. It just comes down to who can make it happen when it counted.
