[BrennanB]

4476 is looking forward to mixing things up on Galileo this year!

[mrmummert]

Hey well well....Hope were with you guys (2363)and not against you.

Guess we have something to talk about with 384 on the bus.

I see a lot of familiar teams.

[Mike Marandola]

Lots of great teams and tons of MAR teams. Looks pretty tough.

[barn34]

2481 is super excited to be returning to Galileo this year! Good luck to everyone and we'll see you on the field!

[Thad House]

Oh man 4488 is ready to come light up Galileo. Lets make it 4 in a row.

[Jim Wilks]

1334 is extremely pumped about playing at Championship this year. Good luck to all on Galileo!

[Thad House]

Also, the PNW is well represented. By my count, I see 7. 488, 955, 1318, 2471, 2980, 4060 and 4488. Let's finally bring home a division and Einstein for the PNW.

[Jeff Pahl]

5148 is thrilled to be making our first appearance at Championship and can't wait to see all the superb teams in the Galileo division!!

[Conor Ryan]

4991 is proud to be the new guy at this party, we even brought our Robot!

On a personal note, this will be the 5th time I've been to Galileo with a 3rd team, I think I have a favorite.

Hey, rooks! Looking forward to the return of the vac! ;) If you need any assistance or advice on what's going on amongst the massive amount of chaos (that can typically be among the first impressions when you get to championships), just stop by our pit and we'll do our best to help you guys out. Good luck and we'll see you there!

Hey, rooks! Looking forward to the return of the vac! ;) If you need any assistance or advice on what's going on amongst the massive amount of chaos (that can typically be among the first impressions when you get to championships), just stop by our pit and we'll do our best to help you guys out. Good luck and we'll see you there!

Thanks! The vacuum is much improved over the regional (and so is the drive team)! See you next week!

[Jon Stratis]

Missed seeing you in MN this year Jeff... but at least our teams will be together at champs!

[Christopher149]

I'm amused that Martians and More Martians are in Galileo. And that 3 of the 4 Leoni teams are here (70, 494, 857). And this will be the third event where 862 is next to 857 in the pits (Esky, MSC, Galileo).

And... that ONE team!

[notmattlythgoe]

Triple Helix is looking forward to joining our friends from 384, 1610, and 1885 in representing VA in the Galileo Division this year. It will be great to compete with/against teams we have not had the opportunity to meet before.

[Debbie]

4991 is proud to be the new guy at this party, we even brought our Robot!

[Breakaway3937]

3937 is proud and honored to be back in the Championships. It is great to be with such outstanding and decorated teams. This is going to be very exciting with the overall depth of the competition on our field! Good luck to all the teams this year and "Let's Go Galileo"!

[Dunngeon]

Team 955 is super excited to be in this amazing division! Good Luck to all team, and Lets GO PNW!

[pntbll1313]

2052 Knightkrawler is ecstatic to be in Galileo this year! It will be fun to see some familiar faces (Like our championship elim partners from last year 225)! It will also be great to compete with some of our Minnesota friends 2177 The Robettes and 4536 MinuteBots :D

[OrangeCataclysm]

Been crunching some numbers, Galileo looks like it has a really good lineup! Here are the average and median (top) OPRs for the division. Got OPR data from stingray27's Advanced OPR and Statistics

Average: 58.72372561
Median: 62.18030843

To put this in perspective, Galileo has the second highest average OPR this year, and the highest median. But of course we can't just look at data to see who's gonna win. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing all the great matches that'll be played on the field!

(for comparison)
Archimedes
Average: 54.2554821
Median: 54.67173343

Newton
Average: 58.91559315
Median: 56.44185218

Curie
Average: 57.49642157
Median: 48.92273601

0 is no 1 is yes but what is H?
and Finally I think you left in the Matches tab from something else

Could you give a quick definition for what you're asking for in each column and a key for what you'd like the inputs to be? I'm assuming binary for most, but I notice an 'H' under truss (guessing that means to [H]uman player). Just want to make sure we can all avoid entering anything incorrectly. For example, what's your definition of a 'kiss pass' or a 'layup'? Just want to make sure everyone's on the same page as we enter information.

Thanks for setting this up! Should be a big help to all of our scout teams.

[puneeth.meruva]

We are extremely excited to attend our very first Championships and, hopefully, representing Indiana well.

[Clinton Bolinger]

Few questions:
Rank 1-10 means what?
Kiss Pass means what?
and Finally I think you left in the Matches tab from something else

Rank 1-10 is basically a grouping for the 100 teams in the division it is based of OPR.

Top 10 Team = Group 10
11-20 = Group 9
etc

Kiss Pass = Bumper to Bumper Pass between robots (Does your intake have to come outside your FP to pass the ball off)

0 = No, 1 = Yes, and H = Truss to Human

Ignore the Matches Tab (now deleted) I used my 2013 version as a template.

Thanks,
-Clinton-

Layup is a close shot near the 1 point goal and the goalie zone.

Kiss Pass = Bumper to Bumper Pass between robots (Does your intake have to come outside your FP to pass the ball off)

I will try to make a Key on a new tab.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I was assuming, but you know what tends to happens when you assume... ;)

I have added a Key/Glossary Tab to the Google Doc.

Also added "Auto Balls" Column for the Maximum Ball(s) your robot can do in Auton.

Thanks,

[Debbie]

Thanks Clinton! Wasn't sure how to mark our kiss pass. Can you add another setting just for us? HAHA... seriously though, we can successfully receive but not pass.. I marked 1 and put in comments receive only... If you want to change it to a 0 that is ok too!

[Rjmartin127]

45 is excited to return to the Galileo divisions. Certainly one of my favorite divisions. If anyone is in the business of trading shirts, I do have an extra 2014 TechnoKats shirt in Large that I would like to trade. PM me if there is any interest.

Debbie,

I added the following to Kiss Pass:

0 = No, 1 = Yes Both(Give and Receive) G = Only Give, R = Only Receive

Thanks for the suggestion.

-Clinton-

[Clinton Bolinger]

I added Drive Motors, Low Speed, and High Speed

If you only have one speed just put it in the Low Speed Column.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! You are awesome! Thanks for doing this! If there are a lot left and you would like, we can help you fill in this chart Wednesday.

[JohnSchneider]

Could we change catch to "only if you have in competition". It's a far more useful piece of data given how scarce catches really are in competition.

[Clinton Bolinger]

Could we change catch to "only if you have in competition". It's a far more useful piece of data given how scarce catches really are in competition.

Personally, catch isn't only about catching a ball from a robot for points. Teams that have catch features can also be a good bot for inbounding from the human players.

Feel free to post the number of catches at an event in the comment section.

-Clinton-

[hannaners]

MOE is excited to be in the Galileo division with so many of our fellow MAR teams! Looks like we're in for some interesting and tough matches - especially with 4 robots on an alliance in elims now. Good luck to everyone!

[pntbll1313]

Personally, catch isn't only about catching a ball from a robot for points. Teams that have catch features can also be a good bot for inbounding from the human players.

Although teams can be good at inbounding because they have a large loading area I don't necessarily think these are well correlated. A good inbounder needs to be able to quickly pass the ball out of its robot which is completely unrelated.

Ohhh, man this is gonna be fun!

Team 4536 is super excited to be in Galileo. The kids are excited to see all of the amazing robots up close. It will be particularly interesting to see 148, since 148's reveal video was the first that many of the kids saw. Also looking forward to the chance to play with the other MN teams 2052 and 2177.

One of my first thoughts upon looking at the attending teams list was, "awesome, we're right next to 4488!"

Out of curiosity, are we the only double-sided intake robot? I checked as many teams as I could, and I didn't see any others.

Updated for Team 5012.

Galileo looks fun. Glad to be playing on the same field as friends on 2122, 973, and others!

[VeqIR]

Our entire team is incredibly excited to be on Galileo with you all.

@ Inkling, 488 from PNW is also a double-sided intake robot. I'm sure our teams will get to know each other very well in our few days there :)

Cool! I also noticed that 1756 has a double-sided intake, so we are not alone like I had originally thought.

[Brennan4256]

Team 4256 is excited! if there is an scouting or strategy in the works for our division we would like to contribute.

I just updated our entry. I switched us from 3 ball to 2 ball auto because we haven't ever bothered to use the 3 ball auto in competition. Think of it like the secret menu at In and Out; it exists, but you'll have to ask nicely for us to try it. It's just not fast enough to warrant use at higher levels of play.

There's some chance our robot will be geared to go faster at CMP than it's been all season. We're playing with that change this weekend.

Preliminary match schedule is out. If it sticks, I like it alot. Plus if it sticks we are first match both Friday and Saturday. That would be fun.

I've updated a bit onto 4719's bot. There's a few unsure bits because of a massive clutch overhaul we did after our regionals; new parts = new specs.

The irregularities and unreliability of the clutch was one of the only reasons why our OPR is so low; We were out quite a bit trying to fix it. Now that we have newer CNC'd parts, we're praying it works better on the field and our specs change. Practice rounds have shown promise.

[dsmoker]

10th best OPR in the division and can only pull a 3-7 curse you scheduling gods.

The OPR predictor had us going like 5-7 and finishing 33rd in Boston. We went 9-3 and finished third. Take it for what it's worth. In this game OPR is not everything. Three bots, with good strategy, working together, can do what the OPR predictor says they can't.

We're 11th and right there with you. But that's why they play the games.

It's all about not getting penalties really, most of these matches should be within 1 cycle, especially if you're a high OPR bot and it says you'll lose.

I don't take OPR seriously this year after our match in Lansing where OPR had us losing by 100 pts, then we realized no one on the other team could actually score the ball.

[Lij2015]

10th best OPR in the division and can only pull a 3-7 curse you scheduling gods.
9th and we have 6-4.
As we found out at the Chesapeake regional OPR can be raised for teams that necessarily don't have that OPR if they have good qualification alliances.

[brandon.cottrell]

What we all have to keep in mind is that Championships is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody is really in control of their situation, not even the "power houses". In addition, this game is interesting in the way that unexpected things can happen. Nothing is really predictable.

[AdamHeard]

I added collumn T "Wheel/Tread". Please fill this out too! Examples are roughtop, mecanum, kop wheel, the various vex wheels, etc... Essentially looking for what kind of traction you have.

Hi Galileo Partners,

Team 2471, Team Mean Machine is excited to be on Galileo. I ran some statistics and found that our strength of schedule is fairly average, ranking 61st hardest. I averaged our partners and our opposition using Ed Law's spreadsheet numbers for highest tournament OPR. The difficulty number is how many points higher your opponents are than your partners. Your own OPR is not included. Higher numbers represent a harder schedule. I see why Shockwave is happy with their schedule. :] Go PNW! You can find your results here:

Rank 1-10 is basically a grouping for the 100 teams in the division it is based of OPR.

Top 10 Team = Group 10
11-20 = Group 9
etc

Kiss Pass = Bumper to Bumper Pass between robots (Does your intake have to come outside your FP to pass the ball off)

0 = No, 1 = Yes, and H = Truss to Human

Ignore the Matches Tab (now deleted) I used my 2013 version as a template.

Thanks,

For goalie pole it is just 0 or 1, what do you want us to do to indicate we can block shots over the low goals as well?

We just noticed theres a very large gap between our first match (Quals 9 at ~9:48 AM) to our second match (Quals 33 at ~1:12 PM) which is after lunch. Looks like if we discover somethings wrong in our first match (Which is unlikely) we'll definetly have time to fix it.

[mrmummert]

I've been reading some of the posts...especially after the rankings based on OPR were posted and while its a nice thought...and i hope it happens....never say never.....OPR might be better suited for regionals and districts...but CMP being the wayit is always has been and can be very unpredictable. I really can't see predicting seedings based on OPR at CMP.

What OPR can't and doesn't tell you are things like what happens when a veteran driver gets sick and you put a timid rookie driver in...or if you lose communication during a match...or an alliance partner gets knocked over...or
your Power board goes out and you can't run in the next match while you fix it.

We've had things like this happen....
In our first year and our first year going to CMP we did pretty well after our regional at Va. But during our third match at CMP one of our joy sticks died on us....we didn't know why until later, but that was something going in we
didn't count on happening.

Last year we had a half decent robot and decided to try and improve it for CMP....well you know the old saying...if its not broke don't fix it....we ended up working almost the entire time at CMP to at least get it back to the way it was....well we started to work better in our last couple matches....and in our last match we thought we'd at least have a chance to win that one. We were with team 33...one of the "better" teams....the alliance had a plan...but during the match it fell apart and we didn't win that or any other match we had. Funny how our match schedule ranking is 100th....especially after coming in being ranked 100th in our division last year. Maybe First is giving us a break....who knows....

Even this year things happened we didn't expect....We went to Chesapeake and did pretty well. We were predicted to lose two matches though. A match we should have won we didn't and the one we were predicted to lose we won. In our second match on Saturday we fiqured we'd win it because we were doing good and we were with team 233 (yes that pink team from Florida)...We'll the first mistake was made even before the match started...and so were several others during the match. We ended up losing that match by only 6 points....Had we won it would have changed not only our seeding, but 233's...and that probably would have changed the outcome of eliminations at Chesapeake....

This is why i'm a bit leary of rankings by OPR.
like i said...i hope its true...but i'm prepared either way.

[JesseK]

FRC OPR suffers from small sample size and inability to normalize across regionals or even weeks of play. It's outright ridiculous to think that it means anything tangible when it comes to ranking teams in a Division.

To put it in a different perspective, which would we rather have: OPR or Youtube? There are 4 solid days between now and Qual Match 1, so there is almost no excuse to use OPR for most teams come Thursday.

In all competitions people talk stats. It's a way to attempt to predict how well one team or another will do. So, while I agree with the statement above, there is no way to stop the reading of the crystal ball.

I do recommend that everyone watch youtube though. :)

The attach PDF has every teams matches from the preliminary schedule by team each page of the report is its own team by number. Not sure if anyone will find it useful but wanted everyone to know Team 2642 - Pitt Pirates is looking forward to the competition on Galileo and wants to help everyone compete.

[Dunngeon]

One major thing to remember about OPR, is that it's a linear measure. When the game is non-linear (ie. Assists dependent upon robots) than OPR isn't a very useful metric. Last year was a decent use of OPR because the scoring progression was linear (Disks, goal, repeat, climb).

Our team uses OPR as a fun statistic to calculate, but we rely fully on our own scouting when creating a strategy and eliminations picks.

[JohnSchneider]

What are outliers?

People will much easier or much harder schedules relative to the majority of teams.

Welcome to the outliers club :(

[bobcroucher]

What are outliers?

Outliers are teams that are outside the norm. They have significantly harder or easier match schedules than most teams. Statistics generally considers samples that are more than 2 standard deviations away from the average to be outliers. Since the standard deviation was 8.8 points, and the average was 0, any team with a difficulty higher than 17.6 points, or less than -17.6 points will qualify as outliers.::safety::

I have created an alternate strength of schedule calculation. Essentially, it is the minimum OPR required of a team to go 8-2 in qualifications.

For me personally, I don't really care about rank unless the rank is <12. Since teams with records 8-2 or better will likely exclusively make up this group, I created a metric to see how hard it would be for a given team to achieve this record. Unsurprisngly, if this value is less than a team's OPR, then they are predicted to go 8-2 or better. If this value is greater than a team's OPR, then they can know approximately how hard they will have to work to go 8-2 or better.

Wow. The difference from top to bottom is insane. Could you provide any more info about your process to get these numbers? When you are looking at team X, do you use max/world OPR for opponent Y's OPR, or is Y's OPR also based off what it takes to reach 8-2. This is a very interesting way to think about things, thanks for sharing it.

[lamk]

4334 is on Curie

My bad, what was I thinking. I know both our winning alliance partner 2013 and 4334 is on Curie.

[jwfoss]

I went ahead and added a column for intake type, as I believe this is a factor in passing and game piece collection.
Please provide input. Thanks.

I found it very interesting as well. All of the data that I used came from the Galileo predictions (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/3003) document found here. Essentially, for each match in a team's schedule, I subtracted out said team's contribution and calculated their alliance's winning margin without them (which were largely negative). I then ordered these winning margins in ascending order. My value is simply the negative of the third number in this ordered list.

In all of my calculations, I use the OPR from the above document (I believe this is max event OPR).

I'm not sure if I'm being clear enough. I would be happy to answer any other questions you have about this.

Keep in mind the value of a goalie robot, the matches in where we were matched with two good shooters we (5137) won. There are lots of really good shooters at the finals. Might be a metric you want to calculate I think defense can be as good as offense by ruining cycles of the opposing alliance or at least delaying them significantly while our own alliance scores. We had a zero points in a match because all three robots were defense and two of our other losses was a broken robot in the mix...so that affected our overall stats at the regional but we made an impact and earned the rookie all star. Problem with defense only is we rely on two good offensive robots to provide scoring when that happens good things do. I think with all the offensive firepower at the championships...we will be fine.

Looking forward to St. Louis!

[JesseK]

All of these new lists based upon OPR make me :rolleyes:.

I have scouted 1885's 20 alliance partners using the schedule currently posted and the video that is available (at least 6 matches per). My mentors & students will scout 1885's 30 opponents over the next 2 days. We start from the team's latest video (including elims) and work backwards in order to see the behaviors we will most likely see at Champs.

Data includes:
HG shots attempted, HG shots made, Inbound attempts, inbound successes, Auto ball attempts, auto ball successes, # of HOT goals, # of truss attempts, # of truss successes, # of trusses to HP or out of bounds, # of times a ball popped out of the robot during gameplay, rough estimate of intake time in seconds (also taking into account driver skills), rough estimate of favorite shooting distance, # of time effective defense was played on other teams, # of times the robot was pushed, # of times the robot was out of offensive position due to playing or receiving defense, # of obvious penalties, # of seconds of lost comms

Trivia: HOT is the 2nd most high goal scoring robot we play with on a per-match basis, but only by < 0.25 goals per match. Can anyone guess who the #1 high goal bot of the 20 is, statistically?

If anyone is willing to trade data on Wednesday, we will have plenty. This data isn't quite free since it took many labor hours to get. Yet if a team can even provide realistic statistics of their own team using the categories above and online video, we'd be more than willing to share all of what we have. The point of the trade is mutual hedging against schedule changes. Unfortunately the schools were out on Spring Break last week, so our ability to get all 100 teams' worth just wasn't there.

[Nate Laverdure]

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR).

BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. Fabric is snug and no wrinkles are visible; no extra material in the corners. Bumpers are installed or removed in one fluid motion. Milled slots or pockets in the plywood backing, sized for minor protrusions from the robot frame perimeter, allow the bumper frame to mate tightly against the robot.
...
BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape.

I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance.

[Calvin Hartley]

Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR).....

This. This is awesome.

[mrmummert]

I think "BQR" would have worked at Chesapeake....I can't tell you
how many robots we saw that had saggy,wrinkled and poorly made
bumpers. We saw a few that had material dragging on the floor that
made me wonder how they ever got thru inspection. I recall one team
there hadn't even made bumpers until they got there.

I think Match 31 is too close to call since the margin is small relative to how fast a single cycle can happen. Right now 857 & 2052's stats and play styles are almost identical, so we'll have to figure out who plays what position. Both look like great partners to have. That strategy will likely decide the match flow, and therefore the match. With the right teamwork, we could totally blow that match wide open :D - or not, if we fail to work together.

Thank you for the shout-out! You guys did absolutely amazing and we are truly proud of you guys! Making it to Einstein was not only a great feat, but an inspiration for VA FIRST teams such as ourselves. In addition, congratulations to team 1885 ILITE for their award! We are proud of both teams and hope to see even more Virginia FRC teams stepping up in the future! Also, We hope to see you at various offseason events! Lastly, thank you to all the teams that we got the honor to play with, against, and communicate with; it was very interesting seeing the diverse designs and team ideologies/methodologies across the country and globe! :D

On behalf of Team 2481, The Roboteers, I would like to express our immense appreciation to our amazing alliance partners 67 The HOT Team, 973 Greybots, and 2363 Triple Helix. Collectively, we formed one hell of an alliance on that epic journey to Einstein Field. I still don't think the events of this past weekend have fully sunk in yet, but it's definitely an experience that noone on our team will ever forget.

To our great alliance captains, 67, thank you for giving us the opportunity to compete with you guys with the alliance selection and then believing in us to finish off our alliance's scoring cycles throughout our run through elims. It was an honor to work with you guys and we would jump at the chance to do it again in the future. As always, your robot design was truly inspiring and it was an absolute force out there on the field.

To the original goalie bot, 973, your defensive prowess was truly a terrifying force to be reckoned with. We were so glad to be sharing a bumper color with you guys when the defensive intensity of the competition hit it's peak. You guys are a true class act and we loved the opportunity to share the field with you regardless of if it was working with you guys throughout elims or against you guys in qualifications. Amazing robot and the precision of the goalie pole usage in autonomous was absolutely incredible. Similarly, we look forward to any opportunity to work together with you guys again in the future.

To the selfless backup, 2363, you guys had an amazing robot that would have been a major factor in elims. It was great to know that a team of your caliber had our backs if anything went horribly wrong out there on the field. It was a true pleasure to work with you guys and we'd love the opportunity to do so again in the future.

I would also like to say thanks to team 1717 for your advisement on improvements we could make moving forward to our swerve drive design. We were incredibly excited to get the chance to work with you guys and pick your brains a bit on the intricacies of swerve. We are obviously an infant team in this respect, but your advice, recommendations, and suggestions were greatly appreciated and will definitely help us improve moving forward. We wish you guys the best of luck and we hope we get the chance to cross paths again in the future.

I also have to give special shout outs to teams 4488 and 193. 4488, it is absolutely incredible what you guys have been able to accomplish as a second year team. Your entire team was a pleasure to both work with and compete against and it was an honor to face you in the finals. As you guys move forward, know you've got fans and support from 2481 in the midwest. 193, it was so much fun getting the opportunity to compete with you guys. What you guys are able to do as a JV team (essentially a prennial rookie) is truly inspiring. Similarly, you've also got fans in team 2481 that will be rooting you on whenever we see your number in the future.

Also, congratulations to 384 on your much deserved division Engineering Inspiration award! You guys were amazing and it was a pleasure to compete with you guys.

Congratulations to all the other award winners and every team that competed on the Galileo field. It was an honor to compete with you all.

It was a truly enjoyable experience being down in the pits with this spectacular alliance. We were told on several occasions that the alliance was happy that we were there, our Field Coach was uses extensively, and we were told to voice any opinions on the alliance's strategy that we had. We truly felt a part of the alliance even though our robot was not on the field.

2481 you guys had a truly superb swerve drive and I was thoroughly impressed with how well it performed on the field. I hope to see more of it in the future.

We hope to work with any of you again in the future and look forward to hopefully doing it at worlds again next season.

WOW...what an emotional, up and down weekend. After finishing as Division Finalists in 2012 and 2013, we were putting a lot of pressure on ourselves to try to live up to our own expectations, and getting a chance to play in front of everyone in the Einstein field this year. To do so we knew we would have to play at our very best to get past all the great teams in Galileo.

Thank you and congratulations to all the teams in Galileo for a great weekend of matches!

To our alliance partners:

973 - After getting dominated by defense at MSC, we had an expected style of play that we wanted to achieve coming into Champ. We were watching your team very closely, knowing that you guys would be able to deliver some dominating defense if called upon. Needless to say, between the goalie pole and the drivers shutting down the other alliances scorers, you did not dissapoint. Watching and working with California teams always highlight how much attention to detail and how hard working you guys are. Adam provided another level of strategy discussion and analysis that I probably would not have thought of, with my coaching/strategy style.

2481 - WOW...should not have been available for us as a second round pick! We were entirely expecting to be required to handle the scoring load for our alliance. To be able to switch off to the truss role, knowing that you guys had the scoring handled, made our alliance extremely effective. Your swerve drive was incredible, moving flawlessly around the field to get open for the inbound, scoring, or defending the inbound/truss. Your pit crew worked extremely hard to ensure the machine performed every match through the eliminations and Einstein.

2363 - Same as 2481....should not have been around for us, but I'm gald you were! I would have been completely comfortable swapping your team onto the field and lining up against anyone that we played. I meant what I said that, we wanted you guys to be involved in any of the strategy discussions and let us know if there was something we were missing or you disagreed with. Your on-field coach (unfortunately, I don't remember her name) was incredibly helpful on the field. She was perfect at letting us know exactly what we going on during the match (time, score, how many assists on an opponents ball)....it was great to have her out there with us.

Congrats to 1153, 4488, 1318, and 1218 on finishing as Division Finalist. Very hard fought matches. We thought we had it after 2...but you guys forced us to prove it all the way to the end. Build from this finish to take the next step to Einstein.

Some additional shout outs...

We were fortunate enough to play with our good friends from Texas, 148 Robowranglers in our first qualification match. Unfortunately, we had another year in the same Division that we had to play against each other in eliminations. We love you guys! Looking forward to playing with you at IRI this year...:cool:

Thanks to Liz (FTA) and Dante (Head Ref) for dealing with us all weekend. It felt like we asked a lot of questions...we just wanted to make sure we knew exactly what was happening during our matches. Thanks to all the other volunteers as well.

Thanks for doing this! Do you happen to have Q110? Somehow we didn't get that one video tapped, and I'd really like to watch it. Thanks Again!

BX had an awesome time with old friends and new friends! It was a lot of fun playing on Galileo with you all!

On behalf of team 1717, I want to thank their fantastic Alliance partners, team 2122, 3683, and 193 for their talent, hard work, and assistance both on and off the field. I'd also like to congratulate our opponents 1756, 148, 558, and 3098 for their win in the Quarterfinals. You guys played extremely well and deserved your win. It's a shame those G12 foul points tied the match and kept us from going for a third round, I would have loved to see how it would play out.

Congratulations to Teams 67, 973, 2481, and 2363 for winning the Galileo Division and performing on Einstein. I would have loved to try our goalie dodging autonomous for real ;)

2481, I loved watching you guys play and appreciate the shout out. You played great on both offense and defense, and were our next choice had either of our alliance members been unavailable. I think things went well for you anyways :cool: I'm impressed that this was your first attempt at swerve, you guys did great and I look forward to your future iterations.

The W.A.F.F.L.E.S. had a great time in the galileo division. Despite a not so easy schedule we were very happy with how we performed and hope to improve for next year.

Congrats to 67, 973, 2481 and 2363 on their division win and 384 on division EI. Thank you to all the teams for making this division very enjoyable to be a part of.

Todd - Thanks for sharing these awesome pictures! Great camera work.

[mrmummert]

Congrats should go out once again to team 2363 for being Division winners. Matt Wilbur and the whole 2363 team should also be commended for helping us (1610) when our bus company cancelled on us and they ended up sharing a then very crowded bus with us and helped us get to (and from) St. Louis.

Todd thanks for sharing....Do you guys have video of match 137? I basically stayed in the pits the whole time we were there and didn't get to watch much of anything.

Better late than never!

I have a lot of teams I want to mention, and there are so many great ones, so please don't be offended if you're left out!

First, our partners.

67. When I was a little boy, 67 was already great. 10 years later, they’re still great. It was an awesome experience being able to work alongside such a great team as peers, and alongside a coach with such a great name ;).

2481. These guys were good. We were happy to get them as a steal, and then 67 and us both noticed in our scouting numbers they were the BEST finisher on our alliance. Their swerve was awesome (especially for a first attempt!) and was great for juking around defenders in the front zone.

2363 Coming into champs I knew these guys were good, and they performed well at champs. Unsure how they were around so late in the draft. It was bittersweet they never got play (good in that no one broke, bad in that no one got to see them perform in elims) but at least they got to play that practice match on einstein. As soon as selections were over I came over like a seagull with all sorts of requests for them to do, and they were totally down and eager to make it happen. They installed our spare blocker and got it running under cheesy vision in case we ever needed it. Their coach was AWESOME in the box, and was able to put up with and keep pace with the intensity Adam and I bring to elims at champs.


4488 I noticed these guys at their first district, and knew they’d so something special this year. They were one of my favorite teams in Galileo, and could make shots from almost anywhere with the slightest opening. Watch for these guys next year.

4967 It’s a bummer these guys missed elims, they played with us in one of our toughest matches and were instrumental in pulling off the upset. Great group of kids and mentors that made a capable machine, and backed it up with some real team players.

1717 It was nice to get a qual with you guys, seems like far more often we’re playing against each other! Bummer to see you guys go out in quarters with such a great machine.

Adam and 973,
The experience down on the field with you guys was amazing. It is very reassuring to know that we were so high on both 973's and 67's scouting lists. I was personally surprised we were still available as the 3rd pick, even with as well as we performed there is obviously some work we need to to at showcasing our team's capabilities. It was great being on an alliance with two consistently powerful teams like 973 and 67. I'm glad we were able to meet your requests for the small chance that we were needed, it was good to know that you had the confidence in us to be able to do it. I hope we were able to impress some people, as we are a pretty unknown team outside of our area.

I know this experience made our field coach's year as a senior. How's this for a senior year? Winning a regional as the field coach, being selected as a Dean's List finalist, being selected for eliminations at Championship, helping your alliance win the division, then getting to compete on Einstein. I know I'm a little jealous!

Having been that 4th team and not having the opportunity to put our robot on the field, I am a big supporter of the practice matches on Einstein. It was a great experience for our drive team to be able to play a match (even a very short one) in front of all 400 teams and showcase what they can do. It can be difficult to make that 4th alliance member feel a part of the alliance, and I think our alliance did a very good job of making us feel like we were equals.

I hope we are able to compete with you guys again in the future, hopefully this year was the turning point in turning us into a perennial Championship team.

P.S. I'm driving out to California and stealing your pit, you might want to lock that thing up real good.

Does your archived video only go up to match 59? That seems to be all that is up online currently.

[Mr. B]

Does anyone have matches 146,167 or 56 that you could share?
Thanks
