But then the Edison field would claim all of the victorious FTC alliances, regardless of the Tesla field's contributions.

I was thinking the same thing.

Part of me wished that they would scrap Archimedes and Galileo in favor of only 2 syllable names, there are plenty:

Turing, Feynman, Euler, Hawking, Darwin, Fermi, Bardeen, Maxwell, Sagan, Tyson, Mendel, Fleming, Kepler, Hubble, Neumann

Can you guess what my major is? :D

The picture of Grace Hopper on the wikipedia article is amazing. I bet no one messed with her. Definitely my new favorite superhero.

We liked Grace Hopper before it was cool... :p

Very excited to see our name-sake Grace Hopper as a Championship field!

When I was an engineer I saw Grace Hopper and her nanosecond wire talk. Very cool.

I'd like to see FIRST use different names each year for the fields, keeping Einstein for the finals. So many great science, engineering and math heroes, give them all a shot.

Wow. Sounds like a very quick talk.

This is the 60 Minuet interview that turned me onto Grace Hopper 30 years ago.

Adm. Hopper came to my 6th grade class and handed out nanoseconds. Wish my mom hadn't cleaned out my bedroom when I went off to college...

I have a big issue, with two of these fields transitioning to Einstein it gives those fields an unfair advantage to seating to watch the final matches, and the two fields will need to be next to each other and if they have them facing the VIP section like the last few years we will not be able to fit 600 teams worth of spectators to see both fields

While the "best" seats may be taken I don't see a huge issue finding seats. The EJ Dome seats 66,000. If they use half of it that is still 1/3 of the floor space it should have sight lines for roughly 26,500 (half of the seats can be filled and then subtracting 6700 for the luxury seating that is unavailable for teams) that still gives teams the ability to bring 40something people to sit with them. Some bring more, some bring less.
Thinking more it could be worse to be in those seats for divisionals, you may have to clear seats for judges and wristbands teams, so do you watch your divisional finals from prime seats, or give that up to secure the best seats for Einstein?

That would be a very nice problem to have ...

I know, I memorized the field names because the initials ACGN was close to the abgn classes for wireless. Remembering the division names will be hard this year.
I always remembered them based off DNA nucleotides: ATGC, except the T was an N.

I like three of the four choices. Can we please change Tesla to someone who didn't push for the elimination of undesirables from the human race?

I'd love for us to qualify and get on the new Hopper or Carver Division :D
