Karthik : Wow, what an event, very quick summary of what got us here. 702 teams have blown us away for three days, and after over XXX qualifying rounds and playoff matches, 9 alliances have been crowned Division Champions and X teams have been crowned World Skills Champions. They've earned their way here to the VEX Dome for the Finals of the 2013 VEX Robotics Competition WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. I know we're all here to see these amazing alliances in the finals do their thing..... so let's meet them!!!
