Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

They may be the better FCS but it will be hard to get a good 2nd/3rd level climber that can dump and is consistent; that is why everyone believes that if that is the direction 2056 wants to go with with their 1st pick, it will be either 67 or 148.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

point taken but I believe a major reason to have a FCS is to draw defensive robots to your FCS instead of your cycler, 2056. Also a climb can be easily blocked by keeping the FCS away from the pyramid

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

Archimedes:254, 987, 1714
Curie: 2056, 67, 1816
Galileo: 118, 2169, 3481
Newton: 1986, 2826, 3476

Archimedes beats Curie
Galileo beats Newton

Archimedes beats Galileo

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

Archimedes:254, 987, 78
Curie:67, 2056, 4564 (For Sure)
Galileo:1114, 118, 3481 (For Sure)
Newton:1986, 195, 217

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

I think newton would beat both Galileo and archimedes ;)

:D

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

Overal Champs for World this year,

1114, 118, 2512 from Galileo

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

2nd-ed.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

I love that alliance but I don't think 2512 would go that deep

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

67 trumps most in FCS ability. I think 948 and 2169 would be the only ones who theoretically could take on 67's FCS. However, a 50 pt climb added to that FCS and potential cycler sells 67 a lot more than other teams.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

This year could lead to some great story lines at champs(like always). With match strategy and scouting being at its highest, some predictions are better left a *bit more open. These are just fun predictions and they are my own and in no way are impacted from team 3885. I will probably be wrong on almost all of these, but it is fun to speculate.;)

A teams from south of the Mason Dixon line will win the WCA.
A full court shooter will win the EI Award.
A 7 disk auton will win the INC Award.
A person from north of the border will win the WFA.
This year has a nice probably of having more International than US teams on Einstein.

My Division Favorites:
Archimedes: 254-469-3245
Curie: 2056-67-16(Yes they could fall this far due to being inconsistent)
Galileo: 118-1114-3284
Newton: 1986-180-3756
A beats C, G beats N, and A beats G due to 118 running out of air.

"My Sleepers": (These teams are not getting talked about enough)
Archimedes: 2590-11-525
Curie: 1983-1918-1421
Galileo: 111-125-2481
Newton: 3476-217-1718
C beats A, N beats G, G beats C due to 111 having too much power drained from their LED's

Of course these predictions will more than likely become completely disproved during next week, but it is nice to guess. Also I have only seen three of the teams that I listed so this was complete guesswork on my part.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

I'm going to go off on a limb here and say I think that Archimedes will win. My prediction is that 987, 33, and 314 will beat 469, 254, and someone else in division finals.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

Ha.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

Was going to make my list, but I can't see anything there that I wouldn't agree with.

One team I'd add under sleepers in Galileo is 2337.

Re: Make your Champs predictions!
 

While being incontinent would be a horrible distraction, I can't imagine that would cause them to fall that far. Or do you mean they will lose their discs when they don't want to?

(Sorry, I couldn't help it. It was teed up too nicely.)
