Galileo Division 2007

[seraphim33]

what teams do you think we should look out for in atlanta

[DBiehl]

A lot of CyberBlue's great regional champion partners got assigned to Galileo, including Clarkson (229), Driven (1730), and Pulse (1555). If any of those 2 are in the same alliance, you know who I'll be rooting for ;)

shhhh we wanna slide under the radar

[whytheheckme]

25 definitely

be afraid. be very afraid.

Jacob


an addition to that: 25 and 103 together (NJ winners 2 years in a row)

[Rich Ross]

Every team is a team to look out for. We don't know who has improved their robot, and so everyone is a possible amazing competitor.

I'm looking forward to playing some great matches with amazing teams. Best of luck to everyone! GALI-

[Ellery]

I'm just surprised to see every Xerox sponsored team at the same division for the very first time. Too bad I couldn't make it down to Atlanta this year - crazy Engineering Risks and Benefits Analysis Exam :(

it is a dream come true isnt it ellery!!!! i know that ed will be excited!!!!!!!!!!

[AdamHeard]

Well, let the plugs begin...

294. We can play great defense (watch the San Diego elims, and that was on aluminum wheels with zipties for tread). We can also score decently; watch match 1 of san diego (We didn't have much practice though, so it was kind of awkard).

[Caseavong]

it is a dream come true isnt it ellery!!!! i know that ed will be excited!!!!!!!!!!

I know im X-Static.......haha
At least i hope with all the Xerox teams in one division we could get some matches together.:)

[miketwalker]

All I know is, I'm so happy to have 217 in our division again this year. Hopefully the pigs and chickens will be on the same side of the field this year come eliminations. :) This should be fun guys, looks like an exciting division, several good teams.

[Koko Ed]

it is a dream come true isnt it ellery!!!! i know that ed will be excited!!!!!!!!!!

meh.;)

[seraphim33]

Well, let the plugs begin...

well all i can say about 903 is we held scorers like the killer bees and the thunder chickens to 2 tube (watch videos from the detroit regional and the west michigan regional)

[BRAVESaj25bd8]

I was excited to see that 250 is in the same division as 1902. I hope we can have at least one match on the same alliance just for the cheering alone. The possibility of hearing "PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY! OINK OINK BOOM!" just makes my spine tingle.:D

[lynca]

Whatever you say, make sure the facts support your argument, look through 1114's 2007 Scouting Information ,
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1975?

From a quick glance, I would say 25, 45, 103, 123, 217, 250, 503, 540, 1126, 1730, 1902

[ZachKahn]

Team 1515
- Finalist in Colorado
- Highest score of the regional during the quarter finals

http://youtube.com/watch?v=0nzMbW1WmHI

We're happy to be in such a great division!

[Tetraman]

I'm just surprised to see every Xerox sponsored team at the same division for the very first time.

I know which division I'm watching. Go 2228!!

Brazilian teams are competitive too...

#1860 and #1382 are together!

[Alan Anderson]

GALI-

LEO!

(It's hard to avoid feeling sorry for Curie sometimes.)

Our drives team just loved 1860 at New Jersey last year. They rooted so hard for them to win.

Team 401 was ranked 14th at VCU. We have a great lifter and can score tubes, but had some trouble at VCU. However, we have tweaked a bit and are able to score a bit faster and will attempt to score keepers in autonomous mode, with use of 6 different auto modes on our switch box. Our best match at VCU was match 60. Check it out on our homepage: www.team401.org and click on the video in the middle.

[sloteera]

Thank you Ed, it´s so sad that the Brazil Pilot Regional isn´t divulged. But we can place five ringers and keeper too...

PS: I don´t speak english very well, i´m sorry =/

[Alex Cormier]

wow fake match 11 would be awesome to watch!!

[Grant Cox]

There is nothing fake about it. It has been determined that this is definitively how they do [at least the first set of] qualifying matchups.

Try it yourself; take any regional's team list, divide it into three groups by team number (putting extras on the last one or two groups), then just split every two lines. Go to the FIRST website's match results for that regional and you'll see that you have just calculated the first couple matches in a simple Excel sheet.

[Ellery]

How fun would it be if we can make up some Fantasy FIRST matches at the Ruckus this year :)

*scrambls to figure out the time of that match to get out of class and watch it!

ahha

[Dylan Gramlich]

:D.........all that needs to be said

[Alex Cormier]

:D.........all that needs to be said

i better be getting a phone call at what time your matches are boy! make your alumni proud and show me some matches.

[Otaku]

Well, the two teams that I've seen in action kick some serious behind scoring-wise were 100 and 254, and they're not under the Galileo division.

I can't wait to see how the G division pans out. I'm not going to speculate, since, as somebody else said, there's probably going to be improvements upon the robots for Championships, plus perhaps some team could just happen to come out of the woodworks and prove themselves.

Like 675 and our bot, Gloria Machina.

Just proposing. ;)

[BRAVESaj25bd8]

wow fake match 11 would be awesome to watch!!

Not for that poor robot that would probably have to defend 1126 :eek:

[mateus]

this seems to be the toughest division! i'm sure we'll have amazing matches here... we have the old powerhouses like 25, 45, 103, 229 and others... but we have good newcomers too... it would be a hard task to any team in this division...

I'm eager for that!!

[Alex Cormier]

Not for that poor robot that would probably have to defend 1126 :eek:

well, i better not see you 250 touching the 1126 robot, or i'll come down to ATL and show ya something. :p

[The Lucas]

wow.

*scrambls to figure out the time of that match to get out of class and watch it!

ahha

You may have 2056 as your partner multiple times (it is tough to say with the size of the divisions vs regionals). I expect a double Keeper score out of you two.

[BRAVESaj25bd8]

I'd never dream of doing such a thing! I don't know if you heard but 250 NEVER plays defense :rolleyes:

[Paul Copioli]

2056 is the real deal. I will predict right now that they are the number 1 seed if the sorting algorithm stays the same as the regionals. If not, they will still be top 8.

I saw them at Waterloo and they were awesome. They can score like nobody's business and can get around defense in a flash.

There are also a lot of high row scorers in this division which will be a plus for the Galileo representatives on Einstein.

[Grant Cox]

Uh wow..


I think that post^ speaks for itself, eh?


Also, I think Paul has a great point. I was shocked when I found out they were a rookie team, their whole design and bot looks almost better than many veteran teams (not to mention the driving skill that they have to go with that bot). They'll be one of the people to benefit from the "Algorithm of Death," it looks like.

[jagman2882]

hey tim u forgot 379, they won Buckeye

[Tim Delles]

hey tim u forgot 379, they won Buckeye

Thanks for catching that. If anyone else sees errors please let me know.

Now on to sleep.

[Holtzman]

So much for going under the radar.:rolleyes:

[Grant Cox]

I'm not sure winning a regional would be considered "under the radar" ;)

Then again, who knows, you don't make yourselves too public so maybe people won't notice right away. I posted in the Newton thread something about 148 (in my opinion, one of the best robots out there) and someone replied "who?"

[Kyle Love]

WOW. I think that can describe it pretty well.

[Mike Ross]

I'm not sure winning a regional would be considered "under the radar" ;)


Try two. 2056 came out champs at Waterloo and GTR.
Not to mention that they were the #1 pick and #1 Alliance Captain.
As a rookie team.
I believe the expression I'm looking for is WOW!!!

But then again, I suppose coming from the folks at Niagra FIRST, this is to be expected.:D

[wendymom]

I was excited to see that 250 is in the same division as 1902. I hope we can have at least one match on the same alliance just for the cheering alone. The possibility of hearing "PIGGY PIGGY PIGGY! OINK OINK BOOM!" just makes my spine tingle.:D

I will scream it along with ya!!!!! we will have to do it at some point even if we never play together

[Otaku]

AWESOME!

I didn't even know that 1902 was going to be there this year. I totally need to hear your chant.

I'm posting one link with a video of robot #1860.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko0BRuWPyiI

We use a sensor to get de ringers, but in this match, the sensor did not function very well. Observe the delay to catch the ringers.

We would place keeper, but wasn´t possible :D lol!...

I think that our robot, is in the same good level of the others. What do you think about? :confused:

[seraphim33]

any body got pics or video from the detroit regional it would be greatly appreciated

[mateus]

somebody already knows the amount in percent of ramps, score and hibrids bots??? (in percent)

[triggerhappy336]

Looks like we managed to get in the fun division. 250, Xcats, SparX, Division by zero... it feels like FLR all over again.

[Tetraman]

somebody already knows the amount in percent of ramps, score and hibrids bots??? (in percent)

From what I see...it's basically a 1:2:2 relationship between Ramp-only, Ringer-only, and Hybrid.

Knowing this...will the matches still end up defensive? With so much great offense, will defense be a factor in the elims? And what does this mean going into Einstein?

[SBass]

Looks like we managed to get in the fun division. 250, Xcats, SparX, Division by zero... it feels like FLR all over again.

And we aren't an official xerox team, but we are generously sponsored and housed by xerox, especially after winning vegas this year

[triggerhappy336]

Yeah, isn't that crazy. There's five teams who recieved money from Xerox this year, and all of them are in Galileo.

[WingsOTWorld]

Team 1694 is planning on being a really good defense/ramp bot. There may be jokes and snickers looming round the FL Regionals bout us...but we know what to do to improve our robot...and it will be a good bot by the time the championships are over.

Correction: it'll be a good robot before we begin our first qualifying matches at the championship :-p ... there...i hope that's alright...

[Bongle]

Atlanta is in the same time zone and daylight-saving-ness as Ontario, right? None of the field webcasts are up (not even NASA TV), and that's really the only reason I can think of as for why.

Edit: They sure are the same time zone, where's my webcast :(

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my god. That's what I get for never looking at the date.

I just saw all these what-to-do at championship threads as well as this and the 4 other division threads, and figured people were already there. I never once bothered checking the date. Now I feel stupid :(

You were just up too late doing statisitcal analysis. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=56631) Good work by the way.

I don't think we will ever hold Championships on Easter Weekend. Some Catholic School teams might not be able to go. Plus, the Georgia Dome is booked with the New Birth Easter Service. (http://www.gwcc.com/calendar/dome.html) I'm not sure if that is webcast :D

[mateus]

and so... what did see? did you liked it?? what was the biggest surprise (positive and negative)??

[65_Xero_Huskie]

I suppose my biggest surprise was that 503 AND 79 were both available when we got to the 8th seed. I was standing there looking down the line and thinking to myself "Wow, theres no way that they both are still around". I loved our alliance, sorry for the arm breaking in the finals guys, but we had a great run.

[IraJason]

Biggest surprise for me was my team, 1712. We came into this event really low key, and didn't expect to get as far as we did. We did extremely well in Philly, coming out 4th seed, but eliminated in the quarter-finals by 341 and 84's alliance. With such great teams as 25, 45, 103, 217, 341... and the list goes on, we had low expectations. We joked that we were going to be on top of everyone, but it didn't really sink in until the end of friday.

Ending the qualifying matches seeded 6th among some of the greatest teams in the world was one of the most exhilarating things for our crew of 12 that came to Atlanta. To go from being unknown for this years competition to making it to the Semi-finals on the Galileo field in than two weeks was something that we could have never imagined. It really meant the world to our drivers, our mentors, and everyone that was a part of our team. It was a truly amazing experience for all of us.
