Our team was at both of NiagaraFIRST's regionals, and I was sort of thinking the same thing before I met the teams (I had the knowledge that they built identical robots). After seeing them play a few matches I was amazed at how differently each team plays, and I quickly lost any thoughts that these were three "clone" teams who planned to carry each other to Atlanta. In fact, I have a video where one of them tips over the other in one of the quarter-final matches we played in Waterloo!

I'm sure those of you in Curie will notice the same things as well. I believe the greatest thing that was accomplished by the NiagaraFIRST "project" was that two different self-sustaining teams were created who have flourished rather than being "subordinates" of their mentor team.

I can't wait to see them again in a few days!
