That's the alliance pairing.
121, 40, and 1474 defeated 126, 1519, 1027 in the finals. It went to three matches because the second match was a tie 98-98.

Battle Cry 9 was excellent, as always Team 190 put on a top notch event! The reffing was outstanding and the revised version of G22 made the game what it should have been, with very few matches decided by penalties compared to on-season. It was cool having Woody stop in and ask for ideas for the 09 game.

Team 40 would like to thank 121 and 1474 for being excellent partners.

We would also like to thank 126, 1519, and 1027 for putting up an excellent fight. 126 upgraded the intake system on their claw and it made huge difference. We look forward to seeing everyone a Beantown Blitz!

That was one of the craziest matches that I've ever taken part in...

But there aren't any teams that I'd rather lose to. You guys totally deserved it. Congrats!

What happened with 121's Victor?

[Uberbots]

Its a shame we couldn't be there (stupid AP exams)... sounds like you guys had a blast.

Congrats to 121, 40, and 1474!!

It got set in 'break' mode.

Wire came out of the Anderson Block...a quick fix. Though the response to us needing a Victor was awesome. Even though Team 40 had already gotten us a new one, 3 other teams came up nearly immediately after the announcement with some as well!

I also want to thank 40 and 1474 for an awesome alliance and to 126, 1519, and 1027 for making the finals some of the most exciting I had seen this year!! See you all soon at Beantown!

BattleCry was amazing. Great competition, great people- all around fantastic.

Many thanks to all the crazy New England FIRSTers that made me feel quite at home. (Except when you all screamed "SHUN THE NON-NEW ENGLANDER! during the gameshow. Thanks a lot! )

I was working queueing, so I'd like to thank all the teams for being ON TIME and helping the event run smoothly. I was supposed to be on crutches for a knee injury, but decided against using them at the event, so thanks for not making me run after you to bring you up. (Team 40- I'll work on the queueing voice, okay?)

WPI hosts a great event every year.
Thanks, y'all, for showing this "regionally confused" girl an awesome time.
I already can't wait for BC10!

126 & company had me worried after that tie. We were broken, and that alliance was playing awesome. Little nervous going into that 3rd match. Loved playing with and against you this weekend 126. 121 and 126 have the friendliest rivalry in FIRST. Its amazing.

Thanks to our great partners 40 and 1474. With an average match score of 117 (and a scare of having to drive with only 3 motors), there was never a dull moment on our alliance.

40 is a great team to ally with. They are very competitive and always there to help. It's easy working with a team that has the same "mindset" as your team. We are happy to work with 40 to win our second Battlecry allied with them, and our fourth overall.

Congratulations to all the teams that made Battlecry a great two day event. We will see most of you at Beantown Blitz in a few weeks.

After dealing with a season of FIRST, Battlecry reminds me why I stick around. Thanks, WPI.

I want to thank all the coaches that I annoyed at WPI with my iPod and headset mic. (Tim from 126 , Dan from 40 , Brandon from 125, Matt from 176 , Chris and Eric from 195)
Unfortunately, I only got 5 clean recordings (2 of myself, 2 of Tim and Matt) from everything I recorded. The headset mic stopped working and I had about a gigabyte of silence.
I'm waiting on the video from Battlecry and approval of said coaches to put out some more 'inside the driver's station' videos.
Thanks again guys.
