How much pink will be there? (people) As for everyone else, how many people are you bringing?
Team 967 is bringing 92 people, on 2 buses, all the way from Iowa, not counting fans already in Atlanta, so almost 100 will have the Black and Red on! We’ve got hard hats, guess what, they’re red. :o
Team 1006 is flying something like 50 people all the way from CANADA!!!And we’re bringing Canadian Flags AND TORCH (our mascot that no one knows what it is) Beanine Babies!
Let me just, say that the Curie division is going to take home the Nationals. There are a lot of formidable teams in the other divisions, but I am sure that they are no match for the skills that we posses.
With that off of my chest, let me add that MORT (#11) is planning on bringing down anywhere between 50-75 sutdents + approx. 10 mentors and 15 parents. After our first championship ever at Palmetto (thanks to team 122, and 281) we are looking forward to this National Event more than any other in our history.
One week seems like so far away, but blink and it’ll will be upon us. We’ll see you all at Nats!!!
It sounds fantabulicious everyone! I’m not sure how many 461 is bringing at the moment but I think it hits somewhere between 60-75 and above. -_-. Not everyone was at the meeting for this last night so I’m not certain. ^^ If anyone wants to trade shirts let me know. And hugs! Find me and give me hugs! I’ll be wandering around cheering every single team (it’s my reputation :P) and giving them out. Yay for advertising! Curie 2004 Represent!
Let’s just hope. The only division Im afraid of that’s going to win it all is the Archimedes. Other then that, we will all see what’s going to happen. Let’s go CURIE!
Glad to see so much excitement about the Curie division. I did a quick check and it looks like we have 48 teams in the division that were top 20 seeds in their regional comps. Some were seeded top 20 in multiple regionals too. Should make for an interesting week.
We’ve been incredibly conisistent at our last two events, hanging in 27 out of our last 29 matches. We’ve also been very successful at capping the stationary, which we did in our first 7 matches in Toronto. (We never tried to cap during the elimination rounds)
I’d say our greatest asset is our ability to control the bar. We can hook to the bar, then strafe side to side to defend. It’s a pretty neat move.
I’m really excited about our division. We may not be garnering as much attention as the other three divisions, but I think there are more than enough top teams for Curie to form a powerhouse alliance.
1114 definately has a quality robot. Their best feature is obviously the fact they can consistently hang. Their robot is the type that I think will win the nationals. They can cap and hang and will probably go all the way in the Curie division.
I was surprised to see so few teams from the big East (NY, NJ, Penn) in our division. All of our teams biggest competition is in other divisions. I cant wait to work w/ all of the different teams. I look forward to these nationals.
