Woo! I see some great teams. This'll be fun!
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
1519 is excited to be back in Archimedes... we certainly hope to defend our Archimedes Division Champ Title!
Regardless of how the week ends, we're excited to be able to attend Championships again alongside many prestigious and familiar teams! |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Wow! :)
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
This is 319's first trip to Championship. It's fitting that we start with the division that starts with "A"!
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
27 and 33 together again? As well as 1477, 2056, 51, 1538 and 1918 (and others). This is going to be fun.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Archimedes is full of smart and talented teams looking for real breakthrough success on this level. It's exciting!
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
The Y Team 3211 is proud to represent Israel on archimedes!
it's going to be FUN! |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
On behalf of 5030 I would like to say good luck to everyone and lets have a great division. Now its time to wait for the slowest week ever to end.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
2175 is happy to be back in Archimedes for the first time since 2011. Good luck to everyone should be fun.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
This is a going to be a tough field of competition, especially for a team who is making their debut on the national stage. I'm excited to see Team 20 again; last time I saw them, they completely blew away the competition in the 2012 Connecticut Regional.

Good year for you to make your CMP debut; you guys have a very nice robot this year. Looking forward to seeing you guys and some of our other NE buddies here on Archimedes. And yeah, team 20 will be great to see and their 2012/2013 CT regional partner 195 also here. These guys are really great; was really intense playing with them (and losing to them :P) in the finals in 2012/2013 And similar things can be said for so many of the other teams here. |

Re: Archimedes 2014!
Super happy that Big Bad Bob 319 is finally going to the championship! You guys were always one of the first working robots at GSR, glad you finally qualified.

Re: Archimedes 2014!
1625 is happy to be a part of such an excellent division! Haven't competed in St. Louis since 2011, and this is our first showing on Archimedes! Good luck to everyone!
Also, being in the same division as 2056 brings me back to the days of the 2010 champs in Atlanta, where we won Galileo with them and 3138! Ahhhh, gooood times! :D |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Unbelievably excited for champs. 2nd time the team has gone, first time for me. Cant wait to see the competition on a world stage.
2607 will see you there! |

I just secured the Lead Robot Inspector position for the Archimedes division. Looks like you guys have to put up with me again! Sorry about that. :cool:
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
1939 is super excited to be on Archimedes this year! Looms like a great group of teams.
Looks like it is just us and 2978 from Missouri. Most of the other teams from MO seem to have ended up in Newton. One week to go! |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Lots of great teams across the board in this division! Some great MAR teams 357, 2607, 2590, 484, 2180, 1089, and us (103)!
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Team 195, The CyberKnights are pumped to be in this division with so many familiar and impressive teams!
There just might be a bit of confusion with Team 4911, ALSO named the CyberKnights :P Quite the coincidence! |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
This ought to be one heck of a competition. Some of the alliances capable of being formed here are downright scary. A lot of good power forward types. I'm pumped up.
I've been thinking about alliance composition and strategy since I saw the division list and it's driving me nuts. Why can't next week come a little faster :D. |

Sweet! We (FRC-3959) have a YouTube channel now!
Check it out ...... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnQ..._3nrwzPSANtNyQ BTW, Our Bayou performance was much better than our Crossroads performance. We played a lot of "D" at Crossroads because we got pretty good at it and our shooter needed some work. At Bayou, We added shooter improvements and some "O" to our game. I'm looking forward to proving that we're better than what our OPR indicates. |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
It's really great to see a lot of Michigan teams in Archimedes! The competition is going to be fierce. We are all so excited and can't wait to watch!

Re: Archimedes 2014!
Match I'm most looking forward to watching:
Match 59 RED: 357 2485 1918 BLUE: 2137 1477 2056 Predicted match outcome: Red: 297 to Blue: 316!!! Four robots with 100+ OPRs. All 6 Robots are over 80. Match I'm most looking forward to playing in: Match 78 RED: 4265 195 1939 BLUE: 51 548 1625 Predicted match outcome: Red: 216 to Blue: 277 Hoping to pull out a win on that one. Should be a good battle! What matches are other teams most looking forward to? |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
I think we should try again on these schedules. :/
On the bright side some of these matches look absolutely amazing! |

Could every team or if you have scouted a team before go to the pre-champ scouting google doc and fill it in for teams? Anything we can do before getting to the event would be time saved. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...AYI/edit#gid=0 Thanks in advance |

That's awesome. Forwarding it to the scouting teams now. Thank you.
We'll team up in match 148 against 319, 2834 and 1540. I haven't gotten that far in my match analyses, but it looks to be a good match. |
Re: Archimedes 2014!
This is really looking to being an interesting competition. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Archimedes 2014!
I was just looking at our match schedule on the Google Docs pre-scouting spreadsheet and saw that our schedule difficulty was -39. I knew it was a tough schedule, but as I scrolled around, I saw that it was indeed The Toughest schedule on Archimedes.
After having a ridiculously tough schedule on Curie last year, I have to say that it is a bit frustrating. We don't mind being the underdog sometimes, it can be a motivating force. However, in a game that is so reliant on alliance partners, it can be a bit demoralizing. I'm hoping that the flaws in using OPR to predict match outcomes are big enough to give us room to give us a fighting chance. Otherwise, we are just going to play our best, help our alliance partners as much as we can and hope for scouting magic. |

Re: Archimedes 2014!

Don't worry what the OPR predicts in terms of wins and losses. I would not completely ignore it like somebody else says. Teams that went to multiple events and have a high OPR at every event got that for a reason. It is not by luck. If the prediction is 200 to 100 against you, chances are it is 99% (I just picked a random number, not based on statistics) certain that you will lose. In that case you should try something drastic because you have nothing to lose. There is also a small chance that one of your opponents robot malfunction, so never give up. On the other hand, if many of the predicted matches that you will lose is only by less than 30 points, it is a 50/50 chance you may win. Most people that does prediction use max OPR. It does not tell the whole story. You should also use last OPR and world OPR to predict to see if it is any different. Data is never ugly. It is only how you use it that can be. |

Re: Archimedes 2014!
Match 155 - 20,900,1939. If 20 and 900 can incorporate 1939 well then they very possibly could run 41 point cycles in under 15 seconds. Think secret sauce to the HP then HP passes to 20 in front of the goal. That has the possibility to be one of the greatest matches this year.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
I wonder what predictions look like if you change OPR this year to an adjusted number like percent of OPR rank at event.

Re: Archimedes 2014!
After a scary morning teams 3467 and 4925 are more excited to be on Archimedes this weekend. 12 hours before our bus was leaving New Hampshire we were told our bus had broken down with no replacements available!
Thankfully we snuck 4925 on the remaining seats on 811 and 319s bus and 3467 was able to rent some vans at the last second and 133 and 58 were able to take our equipment at the last second. Phew what a weekend and I cant wait to compete! We may need to borrow a driver station laptop to run some practice matches as our main team will be arriving tomorrow evening. |

So is the preliminary schedule holding, I didnt hear yes or no in the pits today.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
I expected to get a schedule before we left today since we have matches starting at 9:00AM tomorrow. A lot of time has been put into pre-scouting and it would really throw teams for a loop if it changed at this point.
|
Re: Archimedes 2014!
Schedule is the same as all teams showed up. Main contacts got an email or a tweet or something about it.
