You are probably right then. I missed that part.

I saw the second final and watched 2041 accidentally get stuck in a blue goal, but how did the red alliance win the first match?

This reminds me of Aim High and team 25. It's was "so obvious" that they had the championship wrapped up from the first week, but it didn't turn out so in the finals.

294 outplayed 2041. They did a good job on defence keeping 469 from continuing a loop and keeping the loop from getting started. HOT played great in both matches, and having watched all of 177's matches thins year it looked like they were really on top of their game.

I'm not sure whether 2041's assignemnt was to keep defence away from 1114 and 469 or to score goals to start the loop, but whatever it was 294 did an amazing job of stopping them.

I'm taking nothing away from 1114, but it didn't appear as though they were at their best in the finals. It may have just been good play by red on defense.

Interesting coincidence: 25 was undefeated until meeting 111 on the field at the Championship in 2006, and the same was true this year of 1114...

"We Won't Be Quiet" by David Crowder Band. Not "We Are The Champions" by any means, but a good song.

Excellent job to both alliances in the finals! I wish we could have seen 469 at max speed like we did at MSC but it was still a thrilling finals on Einstein!

177, you are the #1 under-rated team in FIRST. 5 division wins in a row, incredible!

I'm not so sure 177 is under-rated, they've been making noise on the big stage for a while now. I do agree though, they deserve a lot of respect, there's nothing easy about getting to Einstein 5 years in a row, no matter what number pick you are on an alliance.

The curse on the Curie champion continues on. Yikes!

Congratulations to 294, 67, and 177 ! Well done.

Who Knows, maybe with a new city and Venues hosting the Champs, the curse may be lifted?????

Did anyone capture the video directly from the field, by any chance? The NASA feed is certainly better than nothing, but having the real thing would be much better.

[Brandon_L]

the NASA feed was the field video. It has the scoreboard and all during the match, if thats what you mean.

He's probably talking about the quality of the video, just a guess.

[Grim Tuesday]

Not only the quality, but also the fact that the cameramen in most of the divisions seemed to love to zoom in on one robot and follow it around.
