Re: Newton 2012!
 

Should be a great division! I am very excited to compete against all these great teams!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

BX 1023 is anxious to play with old friends and meet new friends! Glad we get to play with MOE - Your team was a huge factor in influencing our FLL kids to start an FRC team many years ago at Disney! Very excited for next week! Good luck Newton!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Team 4055 is pumped for getting to play in the big league with such great robots and show off some rookie team spirit!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

4183 Bit Buckets is excited to be there and see the other awesome teams. (Especially you, 842) Hopefully we'll learn a lot at our first Championships.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

The Power Hawks are excited to be part of Newton this year!

Hopefully we will be able to form an alliance of 11 (MORT), 111 (WildStang), and 1111 (Power Hawks). How cool would that be?!?!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

I have to include Team Tators (2122) in the PNW too. Looking at the OPR data 4 of the top 12 are PNW teams.

#3 1983
#5 2122
#11 488
#12 1540

Can't wait to see the scores any of these teams together can put up. Add in 469, 1717, plus the fact that the entire Division OPR average is a point and a half higher then any other division and there will be lots of baskets being scored.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Ok Lets roll! Its nice to finally find out who is in Newton!

Just like to add here that Newton also has something the other divisions do not have. Some one in Time's Top 100 most influential people in the world! She will be attending the championships!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

That would really confuse the opposition wouldn't it? A sea of 1111111111's.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

Too bad team 1 is clear over in Archimedes...
1
11
111
1111
11111... should be able to join the crew in about 2030!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

222 is excited to be in Newton! This is a very interesting field of machines and teams. There should be lots of very exciting matches in our division. We currently have a peg leg and a new shooter that we installed for MAR championships. We are looking to improve our shooter by implementing the "Bang-Bang" motor controller to help shooter wheel speed control.

Just keep in mind when it comes to balancing some long bots are equivalent to wide bots ;)

See everyone next week!

Re: Newton 2012!
 

488 sucked in 2010...

... as designed. ;)


Best of luck to all !

Re: Newton 2012!
 

We disliked that robot so much that we decided not to go the Championship even after winning Seattle so we wouldn't have to keep fixing it.

Re: Newton 2012!
 

This divisions seem like a lot of powerhouse teams are going to be grinding it out to be number 1
