im such a rookie i cant even tell u which teams are good or not

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Two quick points. I have said it before and it bears repeating, this year's game puts some of the best robot's in the top seed. If you look, The number one seed at every regional has been a good bot and has had a decent auto mode (254 excluded). Yes a fluke team will end up high, but I would be suprised if they get the top seed. Secondly, teams with the target on their back are already strong machines. They have been, multiple regional winners and they had the targets then. I think that those teams will be able to pull it off and will win. If 1114 gets a double team, their partners should be able to score better without opposition.

i am VERY surprised noone has said team 66 :confused: even tho we have not won a regional or n e thing we still are a good but those who have seen the GLR and the WMR have seen it and all but hmm i guess i am just surprised

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Consider it a good thing that you are under the radar then. A place I would rather be.

... :cool: ...

Can't wait for Atlanta...
Can't wait to see how everyone does

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Sorry, 67 will never be under the radar :p ;)

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I've been reading these posts, mostly paying attention to Achie (because thats where 1279 is), and i couldnt help but notice the number of times 217 was mentioned. All I have are statistics and 217 put up good numbers, (ranked 14 and 15, 11-8 total record without elims, about 30 points/rd. avg for their alliances) but are they really a huge powerhouse like every one is saying? Now I know stats dont mean much. Last year my own team, 1279, didnt have a great record or any of that in atlanta, but we did beat the championship finalist alliance leader from Galileo (team 56) in our regional, so i know all about how misleading some stats are. I have not seen their bot yet and i would love to, pics or videos anyone? We need to do some scouting on other archie teams cuz so far we are under the radar and are hoping to surprise some people.

Give me some details about 217 if youve got them. I have seen the pink team in action and they are incredible, I expect an archie victory from them... possibly with our friends team 375, seems that they have been under the radar also and i think they will come out big in atlanta. (same said about our other friends team 103).

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Yes. They're probably better than everyone is saying. Make no mistake about it, 217 is the real deal.

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I'd also reccomend viewing the video that ader posted about the GTr Semi-Finals. that will show you a lot of stuff.

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

This team makes an entire alliance by themselves think about playing defense.

Make no mistake 217 is a real powerhouse. They have the auto-mode, they have the capacity, they have the shooter, they have the drive team, they have the stratigist. This team is just solid with everything they are doing this year.

Look at the video of the GTR semi-finals and you will see them.

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

I don't know Tim...Copioli's frosted tips were a bit lacking this year. :p

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

hehe.

Re: Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions
 

Their not called frosted tips you dork. They're called highlights and I just got them done on Thursday. I was feeling old.

217 is not that good. We got really lucky with our alliance pairings. 469 carried us through Detroit and the combo of 229 and 4 pulled us through to the semis in GTR. The video that Adrienne put together is altered to take the heat off 229 and place the bullseye on 217's back. You will all be disappointed if you expect a lot out of 217. Teams like 233, 33, 343, and others are much better than us. Don't bother scouting 217 as there is nothing to see here ....

Come one, come all! See the world's largest bullseye! As painted by the noted artist P.Copioli, this target stands over 300 feet tall and is located on the back of the Thunder Chicken's robot at the FIRST National Museum in Atlanta Georgia.
