Galileo Division
 

Galileo This a thread for all of us Galileo teams! This looks like a pretty good division, and there are 5 Canadian teams!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I see Galileo teams winning it all.. but thats just a guess.

The team line up is crazy, the top 8 teams I Think are going to be undefeated or only lose 1 match. I cant wait to see all of you in the Pits, and remember that If you need anything drop by the MOE 365 pit and ask. Just look for the 30ft green tower..

Good luck to everyone whos going.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I'm really excited to be competing against such great teams. I look forward to working with many of you!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Not only 5 Canadian Teams, but a dual Champion in 1305 Near North. One of three dual Champions in the Division, along with 68 Pontiac MI, and 126 Clinton MA. A lot of DEEP playoff experience in Gali-LEO!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

According to Karthik's analysis, we are the second strongest division. I do not see as many undefeated teams as Kyle does, but anything can happen. Whatever happens, it should be fun!

Oh, and we're in the same division as MOE again! Woo!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

GALI-LEO is going to be rocking this year once again. Can't wait to see TTT(68) again. This is going to be a tough division, three dual regional winners wow.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Ah yes, and don't forget that Sparky 384 will be there! Just look for the giant orange triangle of a robot!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Here is a link to the teams in the Galileo this year, just incase someone hasnt looked yet.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

1403 will be in The Division. Just reading through the list makes you go wow. It'll be almost more of an honor winning this division than the Einstein Division. Good luck to you all, its gonna be a wild ride.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Looks like a cross section of the NJ Regional- it will be a tough fight.

56 is tops but 103 is just as good. I wonder what the other regional teams will bring.

WC :cool:

Re: Galileo Teams
 

This will be one intense division. I think Archimedes has a few of the best teams, but this division all around is incredible. Right off the bat i see 40 teams i already know of, and 20 of which i rate very very high. I see the national champions coming out of this division for sure.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Yea Galileo!!!

This division is going to rock. I see so many top teams from the NJ regional.. 25, 56, 75, 103, 237, 1089, & 1403. We can definitely put out a really top alliance. Can't wait to see you all there!

--Duch

Re: Galileo Teams
 

This is gonna be one fun fight to the end.... lets see an NJ team make it to Championship Finals this year. Good luck to all teams, we'll see you there.


GO 1403!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Correction- lets see a NJ Regional ALLIANCE sweep the finals this year.

WC :cool:

Re: Galileo Teams
 

WOW, it will be great to have home teams such as 1006 and 1305 in our division. Also teams like 384,365,25,237 and many other make Galileo a division to kill for.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

My prediction:

Galileo vs Archimedes in the Finals, and that match is too close to call!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

While I'm not going with a team I hope you guys do really well! My FF team is devised completely of Galileo teams. Go Galileo! You guys do have an impressive lineup.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I'm just soooooo psyched to be in this division! I have a few friends here! n i know I'll make more! I hope to see you there :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

hmm...
this should be interesting :)

theres a lot of really good teams here

Re: Galileo Teams
 

It lookes like there will be a lot of good matches played on the Galileo Field. I cant wait to get back out there and run with some grade A teams.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Daniel, I wouldn't mind at all finishing like the last time we paired up in the Championships!! :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

121, 126, 88, 151, 178, 190, 237, 546 alot of the big NE teams (just missing 69, 173, 195 and 20)
not to mention 1305 and 68

Looks like I will be spending alot of time at this field

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I was at both regionals, so I can tell you that 56 and 103 were the two really scary teams among those that went to Philly and/or Trenton. I don't know about the teams from other regions, but I'd put money on one or both of these teams winning the division.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Woo! this is gonna be a tough competition for my team lol. Good luck everyone and I'm planning to giveaway my shirts to only this division.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Looks like a very strong division laden with Jersey teams. I look forward to seeing some great matches and superb performances from all the NJ teams. :)

Re: Galileo Teams
 

469 is proud to be back in Galileo and is looking forward to some great competition.

_Alex

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Looks like we have a great division. Looks like 114 is going to be next to Cybersonics in the pits for the second year in a row.

Another star team in our division that hasn't been mentioned yet is 254. They were dominant at Sacromento and Silicon Valley. Look foreward to seeing everyone at Atlanta, I think our division has a good shot at the Championship.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Ready to go to Galileo, getting out music by Queen for the competition.
Can't wait to see how well everyone does, looks like some tough competition headed our way.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Peachtree alliance is going to have to represent. That is 801, 281, and 1261. Its going to be a great division, I cant wait to see you all there!

Drew

Re: Galileo Teams
 

It's gonna be great! Lots of recognizable teams :) And of course its always fun to be next to MOE! :ahh:

9 days, cant wait! :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

hmmm can't wait to see 25 v 1369....:)

Re: Galileo Teams
 

We were on Galileo last year... too bad we wont be going back.
Good luck everyone!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Hey everyone, how 'bout some love for the West Coast?

492, 64, 254, and 114 are all great teams coming from west of the Rockies!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

After having a night to reflect on it, if we have 8 matches per team, I think there will be 2 or 3 undefeated teams, and the remainder of the top 8 will have 1 loss. If we have 10 matches per team, only 1 will be undefeated and the 8th team will only have 8 wins (2 losses or ties). This division is too deep with talent to expect any team to easily remain undefeated.

Do not be surprised if the lower 4 alliances "upset" the top four alliances in the playoffs (as happened in Philly a few years back). This depth of talent ensures that the playoff alliances will not only be very strong, but also very equal. Scouting will have a difficult task placing teams in the preferred order to choose partners in the playoffs, because we will have about 5-6 very elite robots, followed by about 18-20 top tier robots.

One thing's for sure . . .

"GALILEO: This Ain't Your Daddy's Championship!!"

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Yeah - wasn't that Stack Attack and the top four all lost in the quarters and semis? I was thinking that there are so many really good teams in Galileo (and Archimedes, for that matter) that it might be hard to put together one truly dominant alliance. I figure there are the makings of at least three great alliances. The best part is: that should make for some outstanding matches throughout the week.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Well, I know what field I'll be watching on the webcast... ;)

Good luck...I can already sense the craziness that is going to come from this cluster of teams!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Oddly enough this is our third year in a row on Galileo! :D

It looks like Miss Daisy will be in good company, with lots of old friends.

Best of luck to everyone from Team 341!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

We've got spirit, yes we do
We've got spirit, how about YOU???
(Consider this an "official" division spirit challenge from Archimedes teams!)
:p

Re: Galileo Teams
 

*All Galileo Division*

WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, YES WE DO!
WE'VE GOT SPIRIT, HOW ABOUT YOU???? :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

HOW YOU DOIN'! 88 is definitly gonna get Galileo rockin'... Even if our robot doesn't do as well as we hope we definitly plan on rocking Atlanta!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Hm... Archimedes vs. Galileo in a cheering volley across the playing fields??? Yup, we could try that! (TJ2 and Buzz tried to take on RAGE in a cheering volley at Chesapeake - not sure who was the winner of that , but it was LOUD!)

Re: Galileo Teams
 

In all the years I've been watching competitions, I've yet to see a robot talk trash. Maybe there's a lesson there? :D

Or maybe the lesson is Archimedes should bring earplugs, because Galileo is going to
ROCK THE HOUSE!!!
Come on TJ2, Galileo's got your back!!!

:eek: <--Archimedite without earplugs

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Thanks for nice comments on 56 we are starting to get sick of goin up against 103 this is the third comp we hafta see them (still never played a match with them just against) lol, team 237 our nj partners were amazing are in there, our other great friends from 25 will be hanging out with us at a second comp, of coarse our winning alliance partners from philly BOTH 365 and 316 will be in there, and i think we are the only team that not only had the pleasure of goin up against these great teams but also 254 out at the sacramento regional i have heard they have gotten better since then and thats definately scary they were awsome partners in qualifying rounds cant wait to see all these teams again. should be an amazing competition and one great time.


P.S.
look out for the sombrero its packed in the crate and now sittin in ATLANTA come over and say hi ill prob be around the 56 pit most the time, and i cant wait for the 1 on 1 team 56 vs team 237 challange!!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Well I would be interested in seeing Karthik's analysis because we are coming up with this same thing here in Michigan. Ours is based on the depth of good scoring robotics per division. Ya, ya, I know this is flawed since we all know defense wins championships. See you all in Atlanta and best of luck!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I'm not sure Karthik's paper analyzes anything. His spreadsheet is just the overall results from the combined regionals. He reported the statistics for each division -- which is not a conclusatory statement -- merely facts. Teams are free to interpret or analyze those results as they wish, but Karthik drew no conclusions that I remember.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Correct. It is an organized set of data from which you can draw your own conclusions, but it is not an analysis in and of itself.

edit: unless I am unaware of something else Karthik has done...

Re: Galileo Teams
 

For those of you who saw us running around at Chesapeake...


88 will be 1000000 times crazier than that!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Don't you mean 10^6 times crazier? Which I can't wait to see!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Out of Curiousty has anyone come up with a Galileo Division Story, Rep Points go to those who make one up =)

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I just collected a list of team names and numbers last night... depending on how ambitious I feel tonight, you may see one tomorrow morning :cool:

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I've experienced TJ at that level of craziness....it's hysterical!

-Jessica B, whose laptop background is currently the "How U Doin?" side of the TJ-bot from BAE.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Keep looking, me and alicia (looneylin) are writing one. It could take awhile...we're still finding out all the team names. :D

Go go Galileo!!

I'm so excited! You better all say hi to me if you see me, I'll be the arm driver running around frantically and trying not to hit anyone with the cart (which I avoided at drexel....wel, mainly).

:D :ahh:

Re: Galileo Teams
 

dont count out the rookies
team 1626 is here to play


im liking all the new jersey teams......thinking about a sweep

Re: Galileo Teams
 

just to let anyone intrested know, i've started the massive task of a Galileo story, i'll finish it someday, i hope. 85 teams, one creative mind.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

GOOD LUCK! I attempted to do it... Got up to like 25 or so teams then was unhappy with it and tossed it out... Its frustrating...

Re: Galileo Teams
 

i'll tell you what the story is due by tuesday of next week, =) - there just added more pressure. just take your time do it right and make it sound good. With so many teams in each division, each story adopts a rythm from the team names and makes it easier and easier to write. I would create one but...... I'm not as patient with my computer espicially if it what i've done gets messed up and doesn't save =(

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Don't overlook 358, who won Long Island and almost won Philly!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

GALILEO

(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

(you folks at T.R.I.B.E have been saving this feat for the Championship, right?)

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Team 56 leaves tomorrow cant wait to see you all,see ya on thursday!!!!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

team 121 is packing thier bags and leaving RI at 6 pm est tonight and arriving in ATL about 2-4pm est tommorow \m/!!!!

cant wait to see you all on thursday :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Team 1006 is leaving tomorrow (Wednesday) after school and is arriving Thursday at around noon-ish (hopefully in time for the WebHug!!)

Good luck GALI -LEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Let's all start a Gali....LEO chant before they let us in each morning. That way we can let everyone know whos gonna win!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

I just don't want to get eliminated early and then be all depressed for the rest of the trip.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

First, haven't you already had an outstanding season? Whatever happens at the Championship should be icing on the cake. Just go for the experience and have fun!

Also, from what we saw in Trenton, I doubt that you have to worry about doing poorly! Cold Fusion played a smart game there to earn your medals, as I believe you did at VCU; you can do the same in Atlanta.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Ditto. It wasn't your fault, you were just like team 1002 last year, you guys lost VCU but won another regional and will do well at Champs.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Team 1305 is in Atlanta and can't wait to see everyone on thursday.

Re: Galileo Teams
 

First off i'd ike to thank 254 and 64 for being awsome alliance partners. second im sorry we couldnt bring the national championship to Galileo. Also, great job to all the teams in the division GALILEO WAS AWSOME. see you at off season comps or see you next season!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Galileo was an awesome division! We had awesome matches and I definately think we had the most spirit. Congrats to Team 56, 64 and 254, you were great!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

You guys did awesome! Galileo was a tough division! :D it was a lot of fun!

Gali - Leo

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Congratualtions to Robbe Extreme (56). You showed what serious scouting at the Championship level can to do put together a powerhouse alliance. It was immediately apparent after alliance pairing that you were the alliance to beat. You were a great representative from Galileo, and you deserved to play for the Championship.

Also "Thanks" to the Cheesy Poofs (254), another serious scouting team from Galileo, for the scout sheet you provided to us. We will use it to review our own efforts and hopefully make improvements to our system.

Finally, a big "Thank-You" to all the Galileo teams who were serious about scouting. You were a great credit not only to your teams , but to the Galileo Division and all of FIRST. You did the homework necessary to put together your own "powerhouse" alliance, should you be in a picking position. I greatly appreciate the time you spent preparing your team for the playoffs.

"Win, Lose or Tie, but do it in a way that FIRSTERS will be talking about for years to come!"

Robbe Extreme, Cheesey Poofs and Gila Monsters you did Galileo PROUD!!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

Galileo was a awesome division :) though i got to meet alot of people which was exciting. Congrats. to 56, 254, and 64 for winning the division and made it to the national finals

Re: Galileo Teams
 

We had a great time... I apologize that our spirit was not up to its full potential... A few of us got into a little trouble... haha... But we had a great time... Congrats to all the teams!!

Re: Galileo Teams
 

heh...what laptop background would that have been...because i may or may not have any idea what thats about... :D

Re: Galileo Teams
 

WOOOOOOOT Atlanta was Awesome. We had a great time!

I bet everyone was surprised how high our team ranked considering 1219 was 53rd in the Greater Toronto Regional LOL.

All in all everyone was awesome and things were really close, good job guys =).
