Nope.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Seeing the triplets in action, I am not as worried of a 1114 and 1680 alliance. 1114 and 1503 have won 3 regionals together, They truly know how to work together as a team. Where 1680 has been playing against them the whole time.

I am liking the strong Canadian content in CURIE: 610, 772, 865, 1114, 1305, 1680! That is defiantly an elite group of Canadian teams! There are a lot of teams there who know each others robots very well.

I wonder if the 'C' in Curie will stand for Canada this year :D!

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

1114 will prolly not team up with 1680, unless 1680 gets a lot better (They are pretty good don't get me wrong), just in a lot of people's opinion 469 would make an overall better partner for 1114.

But just thinking about 1114 and 469. That would be a crushing alliance.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

if you guys say 1680 isn't as good as it seems, wouldn't you think there could be the scary allince of shall i say

1114+469+1680, SCARY

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Have you seen 1305, amazing defensive bot which would fit very nicely, also 865 did a very good job on defense for 1114 in GTR!

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Yes, 1305 is great at defense, they probably have more than 10 defensive autonomous modes. They're fast, I don't remember if we were ever pushing against them in the finals or GTR, but it would be interesting to watch.

I'm looking forward to seeing many Canadians at Curie, and many more American teams I never witnessed before, but have only heard about.

team 865, Brap brap!

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Who says 1114 will be picking first, or at all?

It's fun to post speculation in these threads, but we all need to slow down for a moment. There are no foregone conclusions in FIRST, especially at the Championship. With only 7 or 8 qualifying matches in divisions of 85, and 3 v 3 game, a lot of weird things will happen. I mean, how many people thought the 4 #1 seeds in 2005 would be 910, 1089, 245 and 337?

Team 1114 plans on working our hardest to earn that number one seed, but we're not assuming anything. If we don't grab that spot, we're hoping that someone above us will notice our robot and be gracious enough to extend us an offer.

Atlanta has been a weird place these past two years. I expect nothing else in 2006.

'twas amazing. cant wait to see you guys there! you had an awesome robot in Philly.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Can some make a breakdown of all the teams for each division, just numbers, nothing else? I don't have excel.

Also, who do you think are the best teams for each division?

Like Karthik has posted early, its alright to post speculation on the final alliances or whatever. However, take in consideration that each team gets 7 matches to prove what their robot can do and ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. 85 Teams for each division proves that basically it determines what happens in the match for you. EVERYONE HAS A SHOT!

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

Galileo Has 25 regional winning teams with 177 being the only two regional winner

Curie has 17 regional winning teams with 395 having two and 1114 having three.

Archimedes has 18 regional winners with no two time winners.

Newton has 22 regional winners with 25 254 and 111 all having two regional wins and 1503 having three regional wins.

My rank for the divisions goes as follows
Galileo
Newton
Curie
Archimedes

It will be fun to play on Galileo with all these great teams. Hopefully both Martian teams will Invade Einstein.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

so galileo has 26 gold, curie has 20, achimedes has 18, and newton has 27 gold?

newton
galileo
curie
archimedes

Tom posted one in html.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

The average team number for those participating at Atlanta is 828.8482143. Curie is the "oldest" division with at team number average of 820.5365854. Newton is the baby with an average team number of 837.9411765. The median team number is 730. The median team at the Championships is in its sixth season of competition.

Re: Official 2006 Championship Divisions
 

W00T! Both my teams in Archimedes. Hopefully right next to each other as well (that would be too convenient...wouldn't it!)...but we'll see if they layout the pits the same way they did at the regionals.

I'm excited. I see lots of possibilities everywhere. I think we are all winners already beacuse we are going to get one heck of a show no matter who's on Einstein!
