well, our alliance had one of the biggest upsets in history. early into one of the quarter final matches, our battery became disconnected after hitting the ramp, and we lost with one of the biggest margins in the aim high competition, it was sad, but i am still proud of getting as far as we did. look out for the c@ts next year... rawr!

Upset as in you were upset inferring to your mood, or upset as in you were supposed to win, and didn't? I.e. an 8th seeded team beating a 1st seeded team which would be an upset.

[ahirsch2589]

i wasnt upset we lost, on the contrary i think it was expected. i was upset on the fact our battery came unplugged, and we could have done a little something to guard against getting beat by that huge margin.

I guess we can just say "we were part of the highest scoring match in the world". We can always forget to mention what side of the score we were on....

Great matches all. Thanks to 108 for picking us and to 175 for being a great partner. It was a fun weekend -

What did everyone think of the MC's on Curie?

He did a 85% on the job. He did fine but his voice was out-of-whack and could not hear or understand what he was saying half the time. He did a fantastic job at the regionals. However ,it was still a good job.

Learn a lot from him! Can't wait to MC Monty and possibly PARC

You shouldn't be upset because it was your responsibility to make sure that battery was well connected.

We always zip tie our batteries before every match and specially when we are doing eliminations.

Our MC had a lot of energy to keep everyone awake in the mornings, and he did make people notice that game going on.

I'll remember to bring some windex next year in case he drools on the window again- that was definitely the most original MCing act I saw all year!

Very high-energy and original. I liked them. (I don't like the word "booyah" anymore, though...)

i wasn't in the pits during that match, i feel pretty badly for my team mate who had the task of putting the battery in, she took it pretty hard after she realized what happened

I'm sure that I never liked the word "booyah". If that had kept going on all day, I think my scouting crew might have cried.

On behalf of all the mentors and members of Team 204, we would like to thank everyone to who we competed against and our alliance partners. We ended up with a 3-4 record (not bad for a student-engineered robot).

Some of teams that stand out from the crowd

175- Helped us with a lot of cutting and tool borrowing
395- One of our favorite teams in the competition and personally my favorite team in F.I.R.S.T
222- Impressive all the way through
358
1511
469- One Word: Autonomous
1002
293

1114

what did you guys think of 540 , major thanks to 1511 and 88 for heering for us in our last match.

[Alex Golec]

On behalf of team 469, I'd like to thank our alliance partners - Captain Krunch #79 and Tigertrons #222. It was an excellent time playing together, and it let us set the all-time high score - 171. Thank you so much! (We need a reunion at IRI to raise the high score higher!)

I'd also like to congratulate 503, 451, and 1139- you were an amazing alliance as well, with great plays and powerful defense. Great Job!
