Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I know that this thread is meant to be for fun and is an interesting mental exercise but make sure that you keep an open mind when scouting. There is a danger in having too many preconceived notions about the teams in your division.

In 2003 we had an excellent scouting crew. We seeded 4th and picked the 17th and 65th seeded teams based on their capabilities, track record, and complementary machine features. Everyone laughed at our picks and We ended up winning Galileo.

Sure we had a great machine, but we had even better scouting!!

Have fun with this thread, but choose carefully in Atlanta!!

Good luck to everyone next week!!

Al, you took the words right out of mouth.

Every team has a shot in the competition next week. Look for every team in your divison to possibly enhance your strategy. Even the rookies can help you, ( GO ROOKIES). Like a "famous FIRST mentor" once told our team, " Every robot is a great robot and the underdog robots will show their mark on this competition"

Good Luck and Look For ALL THE TEAMS in your divison to help you out.

A: 217+233
C: 1114+469
N: MOTHER OF GOD!

Finals: Newton vs. Curie

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

But why would 25 do that? You predicted 25 would lose;) . Is your masterplan to join 25s alliance and make them lose????:ahh:

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Anyone else just get an odd vision of Hawaiian and Tye-die shirts celebrating together on Einstein? :ahh:

sounds like somebody is afraid of this combo too.... ;)

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

A: 217, 233, 296, 330, 1902
C: 70, 175, 180, 395, 1114
G: 45, 177, 494, 1038, 1680
N: 25, 111, 254, 968, 1503

(It's so hard for me to leave 71 and 103 out, but I just can't fit 'em in there.)

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I'm pretty sure I couldn't put it any better than this guys.

^Interesting thoughts, I'd love that alliance on Einstein.^

Well, I can't wait to see how things work out for us and everyone else.

Good luck everyone,

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

O god 71 and 111, 71 and 254, 111 and 254, 25 and 254, and so many more combos. O man, thats only two of three teams in an alliance and I feel overwhelmed. We better bring some tylenol and advil to the Newton people for the people in charge of scoring, and some IcyHot for those people with the counter, those thumbs are gonna be mighty sore.

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Wow, im shocked, Has anyone seen or heard of us besides team 25? ...hmmm... I geuss we'll jsut fly under the radar then :D

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I listed you guys

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

ssshhhh- they wont know what hit em

WC :cool:

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

These are based on statistics compiled from every match result from every event. I suppose you could it an offensive Relative Power Index.

Galileo - 1126, 1625, 86, 384, 1
Archimedes - 233, 296, 1610, 375, 217
Curie - 1114, 469, 358, 175, 435
Newton - 25, 987, 1503, 229, 111

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I did something similar.. I'll share my top 5, from the statistic-based list:

G: 1126, 1625, 86, 341, 384
A: 233, 296, 217, 375, 1610
C: 1114, 469, 358, 451, 1024
N: 25, 987, 1503, 111, 968

Those are pretty similar lists, for two (possibly) unlike systems!

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

i think 233 and 217 combo scares me the most. i hope that pair gets broken up during picking.
