Does anyone else notice how many rookies are winning awards not traditionally reserved for rookies? We must have had a heck of a batch of rookies this year!

Re: EINSTEIN
 

Thunderchickens in the finals!

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I think it's great. Everyone seems to have upped the competition. How exciting!

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I stick by what I said... I want to see Newton win...

Alas, I think an Achimedes vs. Newton final would be amazing to watch! Then again, I underestimated Galileo so I guess Galileo vs. Achimedes would be amazing too! :D [[ I'm having so much fun watching this online, I can only imagine what it's like to be there, but it's something I look forward and aspire to getting to do! ((my team went last year before I was a member)) ]]

And about the rookies, it really is amazing how many are getting so far, doing so well, and winning so many awards! I can only imagine what kind of rookies we'll have next year!

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I've noticed more and more rookie teams mentored by either former students that are now college students or relocated mentors. There was a time when one usually dismissed or discounted how successful a rookie team could be (I know it sounds bad) - but thats definitely not the case anymore which is awesome that not only is FIRST growing new teams but growing new successful teams which will stick around for a while.

Re: EINSTEIN
 

wow, what a win for Newton. That was pure power. They didn't even try to score during auto, then turned around and put 106 on the board. Amazing...

Re: EINSTEIN
 

Wow, I'm really interested to see which team will win SF 2-3! I predict that the winner between Galileo and Newton will be the alliance to win the entire championship

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I wanna know what happened to 968's auto!!!! :ahh: :ahh:

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I'm with sciencenerd.... can't wait to see sf2-3

Re: EINSTEIN
 

that was nice. it was a what? -30 point comeback
im a newton fan now

Re: EINSTEIN
 

ARCHE!
MEDIES!

Re: EINSTEIN
 

Well, there it is... Newton!

Like I said before, I bet they win the finals.

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I totally agree, match two, they let the other team take 34 points in Autonomous to come back at them when 72 points worth of 3 pointers during their offensive period! they totally earned those two wins ((the 2nd one crushing more than the first))

Newton vs. Archimedes - I'm excited... this will be an AMAZING FINAL! ::excited!::

Re: EINSTEIN
 

I'm thinking it was intentional. That way they can fire all 10 balls at alot closer to 100% accuracy, as apposed to the heavily defended autonomous, which they hadn't hit nearly as many in.

217 vs 25 (no offense any of the other outstandinly powerful teams), a match-up I have wanted to see sense 217 won Detroit. This could be quite amazing, the best 2 human loaded-only bots.

Re: EINSTEIN
 

Awsome comeback wins by the Newton champs. Did they lose autonomous twice on purpose?

I can't really follow via webcast.
