Archimedes 2012!
 

Divisions our out, and 1676 is pumped to be on ARCHIMEDES!

Just checking out some of the big names: 67, 234, 359, 973, 1114, 1218, 1902, and the legendary never-lost-a-regional 2056.

Get excited!!!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

2898 is PUMPED and READY for champs this year on Archimedes!!!. It will be fun playing with alot of great teams, including a few locals from the PNW.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

This division is STACKED!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I would consider it less stacked then Galileo last year, but it still looks to be a difficult division.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

OINK OINK!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I'm going to go out there and say MOST difficult division, definitely giving Curie a run for it's money ;)

BOOM!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

67, 1114, 2056: I think chances are two of the three will be together in eliminations.

Looking at the other divisions, I would not put my money on the Archimedes alliance JUST yet.


BOOM!!!!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I think we were put in the wrong division. This appears to be the long bot division. ;)

Very tough, lots of competition.

We're trying to compile pictures of every robot before we arrive at champs, right now we only have about half.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

You can find some pictures of our bot here.

In both the same hotel AND field as us? Awesome! Maybe our teams can have dinner together one night? =)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I've been doing a lot of collecting too. Pictures of our robot are on our website: www.AdamBots.com
(uploading pictures from the MSC as I type!)

I'll dig through my folders to see if I have any pictures of any you don't have. I have pictures of robots from the Alamo Regional and a ton from up here in Michigan so It will be a while.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Hey now, don't put us in that box! ;)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Adam, sorry I don't have any pictures handy from Dallas-East after we installed our second-gen pneumatic bridge-tipper.

If you play this video by 16 Bomb Squad... you could maybe do a screen-grab playing it in Hi-Def at approx. 1:20 of our 3481 competition bot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEOx7ti6YaA

PLUS... you'll spend about two minutes _enjoying_ 16 in all their glory!! ;-)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I hope not. ;) Looking forward to seeing some triple balancing!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Respectfully submitted for your consideration. :)

I'm geeked to be on this field--lots of great competition, lots of old friends (and some that certainly qualify as both). Is it next Thursday yet?

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I didn't even notice that Los Pollos Locos will be joining in on our fiesta! That means more Billfred!!! :)

Also, you can find the official team listing for Archimedes on the FIRST website here.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Well, we're dead. After seeding 19th at Oklahoma, and not having the strongest of robots this year, we're dead. Will Michigan's king 67 take the division? Or what about the island hopping Hawaiian Kids? With a strong performance at Lone Star, how can anyone compete against them? Though you could be the powerhouse from Atlanta who almost toppled the Kids. Yet still there is the Canadian dream team whose reputation proceeds them as "The best pair of robots in ALL of FIRST history," as pronounced by Karthik? But on top of all of these major power players, there's some come from the deep teams who could sneak up as the #1 seed...

At any rate, I can't wait to see how this plays out and boy are there plenty of teams I'll be picking the brains of.

Until then, don't ball too hard, can't wait to see who cuts the net.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I'm feeling excited. I only let my team know ~40 minutes ago, so I can't speak for them. 1 week from today!! :D :D

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

2826 has 1 regional win and 1 regional finalist this year

We are also excited to be playing on this field, definitely going to be tough.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I see a lot of big name teams here... This division is certainly the "one to watch".

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I would also like to bring up another important point...


ARCHI...!!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I think we won the Rutgers district event as first seed...
And, as everyone knows, we ALL need more Billfred!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Archimedes is stacked, end of story!!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

2949 PWNAGE is extremely excited for Champs! 2nd year in a row on Archimedes. We've updated, improved, and practiced a lot since Midwest, and we'll show some stuff here before Wednesday. We might have a new picture to add to the collection with all of our new gadgets.

edit: I forgot, here's our robot from the beginning of week 4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h55bFVPQbj8

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Overlooked again, I see. ;)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Thanks again Travis. We hope to show our best at St. Louis this year for our 2nd consecutive trip and 3rd trip in the last 4 years. For those of you who didn't get to see us in person we've got a video here for you all,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so_K6...ByIG-YQZ20Y%3D
Its going to be a fun division with such great teams. Who isn't excited to play with such great teams as 1114, 2056, 67, 973, and 359 (just to name a few).

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

We overlooked Wave last year, even though our scouting data told us not too. We ended up being eliminated by them.

We will not overlook them again.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Im so glad to get our programing complete and get away from the Curie Curse! :) so ready for St. Louis.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

So does anyone know who we snagged for our MC?

There are a few photos of 1014's robot Mike here.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I still think Galileo 08 was the most stacked division in the history of champs. This year's Archimedes looks to be top 5 or 10 though.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Team 2046 Bear Metal is excited to be a part of such a great looking division. We're very excited about the oppurtunity to play with the great canadian duo that is 2056 and 1114, as well as our friends from Washington State teams 2557 and 3968.

If we ever have a match against 67 it'll be very interesting to me to see who makes it to the co-op bridge first in hybrid.

And with so many other great teams in the mix, I'm sure alliance selections and the elimination rounds will be very intense and exciting. I can't wait! :D

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

On behalf of FIRST team 2851 Crevolution from Sterling Heights, Michigan, I would like to say hello to all of the teams we are going to compete with and against!

I think we are the absolute last team to register for champs. I'm taking a few days off the college life to come cheer us on.

Hey HOT! How's it been since Waterford? Wanna triple? You know you love our wide bot orientation :P.

And last but not least: ARCHI! ARCHI! ARCHI! ARCHI!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Don't forget about 245 we got a wide robot!;)
and great auton and feeding abilities

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Heyy now, don't think you're the only 2 wide bots in the division. We've got a wide bot; fairly consistent autonomous, and can balance! :D

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I will post all pictures I have tomorrow (67,247,and 1) when I get my hands on the programming computer :)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Hi All, Team 195 has a huge file with all 99 Archimedes teams listed one on each slide with their 2012 stats and a picture (missing 9 pics). Thank you team 2834 for an awesome DB to pull from.

Is there somewhere I can post this for others to use? It's really huge (92 MB) and I can't post it here.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Wow this is awesome!

There is a service called dropbox that actually sounds perfect for this.

Dropbox is actually meant for sharing files and folders between people, but you can easily share your excel file. Simply place the file into your public folder, and then right click->dropbox->copy public link. Then paste it here and we can all download it.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/74551503/Arc...es%20copy.pptx

Edited and corrected 2815, added 190. will try to find 245 and correct.

Here is the drop box link to the 99 Robots stats and pics (8 missing pics)

Good luck to all the teams in Archimedes! 195 looks forward to competing with you all!

Enjoy the data!

Sandra

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Downloaded and opened. Works great and has a ton of useful information. Thanks!
-Edit-
Oh - Old picture of 245's robot.
Newer photo here

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

From the "Whoops!" department: 2815's slide shows our 2011 robot!

The 2012 one is here, if you update this. :) (Also, the scouting database incorrectly lists us as Palmetto semifinalists; we were on the winning alliance.)

(But still, this is great!)

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Crevolution is in Archimedes now? Awesome! This is division is getting better and better.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Yeah, the info has a couple of glitches. one of our info pieces is wrong too.... but for the most part team 2834 did a great job on this data.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I have a slightly better picture of 2022.

This is from the Midwest Regional Finals, since then the team has been working on some new features that will be revealed at Champs.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Thanks for the drop box suggestion. Works great!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

team 3015 is looking forward to competing in the Archimedes division this year. this division is stacked with some great teams. pictures of our robot can be found at www.rangerrobot.com

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I have a picture of a completed 1902 robot, instead of just the frame :D
This image and scouting overview presentation is awesome, thank you so much for putting it all together!!!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

You're very welcome. And if you keep editing that dropbox file with the updated images/data, then the file automatically updates and people will download the most update to date version.

- Sunny G.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Thanks. Folks are starting to send me better pictures....made updates...and they worked!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

The pic you have for 1311 is team 2614's robot, I believe. I'll try and get you a correct one, unfortunately all I have is a video of the original, overweight machine.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Any predictions on the highest score we will see on Archimedes?

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Please keep posting GOOD pictures guys, we're compiling them all and will post a full zip once it's done. I'll edit this post with a list of pics left to get after meeting with my kids tomorrow.m

Cannot wait to See Archimedes this year! Although this is my first year for FRC (freshman) Ive been a fan of First Competitions since i was in 3rd grade. Seeing that we are going against Exploding Bacon! and Bionic Tigers and other AMAZING teams. OMG I cannot wait!!!!! See you guys in St. Louis. And if you see a girl with a grey hat in a Rosie shirt thats me! Feel Free to come and say hi! ::safety:: ::safety:: :D :D :D

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Bad news everyone....my drop box was suspended for 3 days for "excessive traffic". Anywhere Else I can post this file?

Sandra

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Perhaps as a paper in CD-media? Wouldn't have the nice auto update feature a public Dropbox link does.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

http://filesmelt.com/

Shameless plug for my former roommate's website. Pretty simple interface. Only thing is that it doesn't allow you to update files.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

So if you were a rookie team in this division what would you do? :eek:

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Watch.Experience.Learn.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Be inspired.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Holy Crap really?

There's a similar feature called box. www.box.com.

It's not as versatile as dropbox, but there's a link that you can post and we can all download the file. Additionally, you'd have to manually update the file each time you revised it.

Perhaps shoot off a quick email to dropbox explaining your situation and the reason for high traffic and perhaps they'll unlock your account a little earlier.

- Sunny G.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Thank you for making this, updating it and making it available to everyone :)

I think if we could also post links to videos of all the robots, that would also be very interesting and informative for pre-championship scouting. Here is 2046 Bear Metal's youtube page with playlists of our self-shot footage from our matches in Seattle Cascade and Autodesk Oregon Regionals. http://www.youtube.com/tahomarobotics

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

so once uploaded, how do I share the file with others?

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Try creating a Google Doc. They are free and you could make the document available to everyone with a public link.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Saving the file as a pdf reduces the size enough to be emailed.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I'd recommend uploading that ppt as is to a google doc.

What would be more preferred for most users however is just removing the pics from the .ppt and only using the pics.

We'll publish what we've collected with a few other teams once we have all the pics as well.

but removes the ability for people to pull pictures out easily.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

FYI.

The dropbox account has been locked out due to high traffic! Any other place to get the pics?

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

There's a small share icon next to the file.

However, people above have recommended google docs, and that's actually a pretty good idea.

- Sunny G.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Here is a picture of FIRST team 2395's robot. The bridge manipulator has been modified for worlds but everything else is the

same.http://i.thefirstalliance.org/1334777298.jpg

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Unfortunately, google docs won't let me upload. It's too big. Even converting to PDF only shrinks it to 56MB. *sigh* really trying to share this!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

In the first post of this thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=105818 there are links to google docs made for each of the championship fields... idk if we all want to add to what they already have or start our own google doc, but i added the basic information for our team.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Thanks for the pic of 2395. I made the update....now if I could just find a reliable way to share this file with you all!

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

No problem!
Yeah, I would love to get all the pictures you have of all the teams instead of trying to search all over the place.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

It won't help for people trying to pull pictures, but here's the pdf of the previously posted data/pictures:

http://www.pdf-archive.com/2012/04/2...pictures-copy/

That should work...seems to be ok for me. Does not include the few missing updates.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Can someone try this one? I posted it here as well. Maybe this one will stay open and not get shut down.

As a rookie i would come play hard and play smart. Do the best we can and hope for the best. This is a tough division and can't wait to play in it.

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

this link works just fine, not too familiar with sendspace so im not sure how easy it is to update if there are new additions to the doc.

otherwise great job compiling this information

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

Rudy... can you believe it, THREE from San Antone at the CMPs... I've been told this is a first.

Glad you guys qualified since you've worked so hard the last two FRC seasons.

You have a really good shooter and I'm impressed with it's performance.

Hopefully, we'll get a match on the same alliance... ;-)

See you in St. Louis!

How many teams in Archimedes use arm bridge knockers and how many use passive bridge knockers?

Re: Archimedes 2012!
 

I know who you snagged and I couldn't be more pleased. Me. I think this Championship Event will be the greatest in FIRST history. The Archimedes Division is loaded, but make no mistake ... each division alliance champion will be fantastic. One thing is for certain, the alliance that wins this 2012 FIRST Robotics Competition Championship will have earned it. Yes, I am slated to be the Archimedes MC. I am also slated to start the matches on Einstein and I can't wait to get on a plane Wednesday to fly to St Louis. I look forward to meeting all of you and having an awesome time. See you in St Louis. Best Regards, Dave.
