CURIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vic burg]

well, i took a quick look and out of all the teams, we have 8 international teams. 6 from Canada and 2 from Isreal. And then from all over the U.S. looks like we're all making a lot of new friends! Can't wait!

This past weekend, I heard some.....interesting developments about Curie. Can't wait for Atlanta!

[Don Wright]

Oh come on... You can't leave us hanging like that!!!

[techtiger1]

Don I agree she can't leave us hanging like that. On a more serious note I am glad 1251 is in Curie lots of good people and teams, should be fun. There are a lot of teams in this division whom 1251 has never seen before so should be fun with all the Canadian and New York teams we haven't met. Looking forward to meeting everyone as well as competing good luck to all.

Yeah, 1002 will be better than ever with out 3rd version of our robot lol.
We are going to hopefully be able to shoot a lot better. We can still herd and dump great as well as play D.
Hopefully we will get to meet all the great teams in this division and all throughout champs. Hopefully Curie will be able to take the championships this year.

i'm about to watch 469 again, and with their robot performing like it is, it'll be very difficult to stop them. Good luck to everyone.

I personally, actually started a thread because of scouting, On here. I don't know exactly which teams are at each competition in the links but, check it out!
I recognize a bunch of Curie teams from UCF and Palmetto, though.

Can't wait!

Now this is one crazy division! Looking forward to seeing all these great teams in action and having a great time. This is my first year in Curie, as well as my first year on 358, and our first year as a team in Curie so we're kind of looking to get a feel for it. Anybody have any useful info they want to share? Some of our robot stats are

• 2 Speed AM Shifter
• Pannable turret
• Floor collector mechanism
• We get on the ramp very often
• 30 Different autonomous modes (10 per field position)
• On the fly selection of autonomous and starting position
• Reliable camera based center goal scoring in autonomous
• Camera powered driver HUD feedback
• Traction wheels, hard to push
• Regional Champion and Finalist!

I (or my team mates) can also field any more specific questions you guys have, and we'd like to know a lot about your robots too.

Eastern Robotic Vikings-Team 204

What makes our robot awesome, and the perfect teammate for you?

- 2 driver motors on custom gear boxes ( 2 small CIMs).
- 2 large CIMs for shooter.
- Modular electronics boxes means no electronic failures and easy maintenance.
- Shoots for 3 point goal and human fed. Accurate shooter.
- Can make up the ramp every time and can also block opponents shooting from the ramp.
- Prefers to be defense (highly defensive),"Best Defensive Robot" by many Philly Teams

Our Strategy: We are the perfect compliment to any team. Having a solid shooter and a strong defense, we are the well rounded robot to handle any situation. Our custom designed and made gear boxes fused the perfect ration for matching speed and power that many teams have not found. This enables speed, defense, and getting up on the ramp while only running on 2 wheels. Our shooter puts no spin on the balls, meaning consistent goals. Autonomous is designed for defense, blocking the opposing team from shooting or delivering balls in the corner goal. We may also try shooting in AUTO, but we still working on it.

Facts from our competitions so far:
- Have never tipped over.
- High score 74.
- No penalties so far!

If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me through private message or at Nomads2009@aol.com.

The match standings seem to be down for a while. How high was that score of the last match with 1114 in it? It looked like over 200, and then I got a phone call!

[StephLee]

It wound up at 121; the scoring system must have malfunctioned (but then we're all used to that now, aren't we?).
