As long as a team from archimedes wins the championship i'll be happy.

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

I am very afraid of the possible alliances coming out of Archimedes.

60, 45, and 33. Any combination of those 3 teams out on the field could easily score 250 and above every match.

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

You're telling me. I have been sitting here wondering how anyone could have let this happen. Imagine if 45, 60, 71 or 111 seed 1st and pick another one? What would you do against an alliance of 60 and 45, or 71 and 111? Nothing that's what you'd do. I can easily see 250+ points coming out of this division

4 of my top 5 picks to win nats ended up in the same division! (#1 being 254)

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

the fact that there are so many strong teams in this division finally discounts the old super alliance functions of 1 picking 2 and 3 picking 4 etc, im not saying this wont happen at all, but the results that occur from it wont be so insane anymore. 1 most likely cannot steamroll over 8 etc etc.

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

And just forget about it if 521 was the 3rd alliance choice!!!! :D

Dude I am I sop pysched since having read the division list as of whose in it !!!!! I mean 15 regional champions and of those over half are pairs from regionals!!!!! thsi is going to be an absolut intense competition. I would much rather play and lose in this division playoff then win in a push over. I LOOOOOVE the challenge and you can only learn from thsoe better then you and needlessly to say there are many to learn from in thsi division :cool:

We are really in one of the craziset divisions its going to be great 45 33 60 71 571 111 there will be some close matches.

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

I feel slightly obliged to mention that 122 won the Palmetto regional (along with the great help of 11 and 281, though these are not in Archimides). We're also one of those 4 woodie flower finalists (anyone know the procedure for selecting the winner? this is the only award that makes me a tad bit nervous ...)

Good luck to all -- it looks like some tough competition. And if experience proves true, then nats are a completely different competition than the regionals. A lot of teams could win just by hanging in the regionals; it looks like it'll be a tougher fight throughout qualifying at nats. Anyone planning on changing their strategy?

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

we may finally stop dragging our feet and actually give ourselves an autonomous mode.

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

that would be quite killer!!! you guys have a great bot... i never even noticed you didnt have autonomous....

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

we have one, it is called the messiah mode, all we did was open the arms we used to grab the big ball so it looked like arms opening up to the skys, but our new autonomous will be awsome

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

Against the wishes of my team members i still need to fix our autonomous mode. They think it worked great at UTC. well theyre wrong lol, oh fun! is it time to go to georgia yet ?

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

This is going to be awesome!!!! There are so many teams that I have heard a lot of great stuff about and I have great respect for but never met or played with since we are on the West Coast. There are definately going to be some awesome matches played! I know our whole team was so excited to be in this division!!!! Good luck to everyone at Nats and I'll see everyone there in about a week (I can't wait)! :)

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

Err ... once more I feel obliged to mention that team 122 won the Palmetto regional, if this is what you mean by regional winners ;) (See previous post.)

Re: Yay for Archie! (Archimedes Thread)
 

Didn't Archimedes win the Championship last year?
