Good luck during the last day tomorrow everyone! My students have really enjoyed working with and meeting all of you over the past two days. Saturday will definitely be an awesome day.

Bravo to all! Let us know if you need anything.

Well, the good thing is, HOT seems to have grabbed the first alternate at least once, I think twice this season! You might get to see some field time!

Good luck to all alliances! Some of them look beastly... we'll be in for some exciting elims. (:

Maybe so but in this case Wildstang makes the final decision since they're the alliance captain.

1717 2775 870 vs. 111 67 971

Talk about some great finals......

Congrats to teams 111, 67 and 971.

That was awesome, second straight Galileo victory.

WildStang, HOT, and Spartan Robotics, congratulations on those insanely impressive matches both in Galileo and on Einstein. It is the first time I've seen the game played with such stacked alliances. Galileo was so packed with good teams that friggin 25 was second to last pick!! I mean, that never happens! 971 last pick??!!?!?! Crazy division.

We were honored to watch and cheer on our NJ friends 56, 25, and 1923. Just too bad we couldn't join you down on the field in eliminations , but we had a good 5-2-0 and had fun playing with the teams we look up to most. See you all next year.

Awesome, awesome time. We couldn't have picked better alliance partners than 1717 and 2775. We gave the dream team a definite run for their money. Don't know how many people saw it, but with a few seconds left in the 2nd match, our human player threw a Super Cell and rolled over at least 4 prongs before dropping out. That would have put us 1 point behind still, but it would have been really cool.

We did just as good, if not better, than the Newton and Curie Champions did vs them, and we are extremely proud of that. I feel that in any other division our alliance could have made it to Einstein, but so it goes!

Congratulations 111, 67, and 971!

Congratulations 111, 67, and 971!

The last 3 out of 4 years we have been beaten by the World Champs, so it was a privilege to once again loose to the champs, you are a great alliance.

Thank you 40 and 1332 for choosing us.

[Kingofl337]

Team 40 would like to thank 1902 for exceptional defense and 1332 for outstanding offense.

Congratulations 111, 67, and 971

Great job to everyone involved and congratulations to 111, 67, and 971 y'all deserved the win(:

[Wayne C.]

Ditto to the below-

the #1 alliance WAS the one to beat- 111 and 67 especially really had the right design this year!! Congratulations.

Our team (25) fought hard and we had a great time competing. Galileo was really stacked and every round was a challenge- That's the way it should be.

Now consider this- suppose you played this game on carpet with LAST years track with everyone going counterclockwise at high speed. Hmmmm....

Great job 111, 67 and 971. It was a lot of fun watching you on Einstein.

[Kyle Love]

I have a couple thoughts.

A huge congrats to 111, 67 and 971, you guys performed great all competition long and were truly the best alliance there.

Second, maybe not so cheerful comment.
For teams who competed on Galileo, did you notice that the blue alliance station seemed to lose communication throughout the weekend? At first I thought "oh we must have something loose", but after hearing of it happening to team after team, I raised an eyebrow. Did any of you also notice this?
