Re: Estimated time until they announce nationals divisions?
 

You can't say usually, since they haven't done it two out of three years. Two years ago, FIRST just started counting, and the first X teams (I think it was around 10) were in one division, then the next, then the next, etc. Last year, X was 1 team.

I don't remember that anyone figured out how they did it in 2001, so that would be the only year that they could have tried to break up regional champions.

yea, i remeber last year we were with 541 but not 27. won the buckeye with them last year.... can't wait to see Finney Falcons 1405 there too!

Don't want to start new whole thread:

who do yo want the most to be in the same divison as your team. i say 67

Re: Estimated time until they announce nationals divisions?
 

I would like to go up against 330 or 237. I would love to see those 2 in a match against each other.

Also, I don't know if FIRST even looks at the divisions too closely. They have been going on the dodge ball system. OK everybody count off in groups of 4. 1..2..3..4, 1..2..3..4, now go to your fields & have some fun.

I think it would be cool to be in a division with teams from other regionals, like the western regionals. I don't know enough about those teams & I want to learn.

Or it would be cool if FIRST took all of the regionals and broke them up into regions, then pitted the West region vs the Mid-West vs the South, vs the North. Of course the North would win.

Who thinks FIRST will separate team 60/254 if they land in the same division randomly?

With two of those robots on the field, they'd be darn near unstoppable :ahh:

How does FIRST seperate teams into divisons, I saw DJ sayed that they dont usually put regional champions together, but do they try to even seperate like the people that were in the same regional, cause as i remeber back to 2002 when we went there was only like 2 other teams in are divison that were at the KSC regional(well prob a little more but thats all i can remeber)

Team RUSH is doing pretty well this year. No regional champ banners though. Had a bit of bad luck at GLR, knocked out in quarter finals, did better at the Midwest Regional but got knocked out in the 3rd round of the semi-finals. But our record is great. In the seeding matches we are currently 13-2 between the two regionals. Looking forward to Atlanta and try to make it past the semi's ^^. Cant wait to see you down there 1126.

On a different note for being only a 2 year team, i agree with bduggan. 1126 is a great team and deserves to be on that list :D

Hey!
Thank you! It was awesome for us to end up with you guys and BIG MO 314 as champions in LA. You are both very experienced teams and it was such an honor to share the spotlight with you. We really are going to miss you in Atlanta but maybe we can catch up with each other later on in the year.
