Along with 217 and 1114!

And 330!

Thank you Dave.

Good - much better chance of great partners during qualifying (if the algorithm does its job) and guaranteed great alliances in elims.

I personally can't wait - Galileo should be an awesome time! :)

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

There is absolutely no way to make any prediction right now. Galileo will be fun to watch. Every few matches will showcase an exciting team. Its a little more doubtful for 1114 now. There are so many combinations that could be unstoppable. I'm not saying Galileo will win though. Each other division also has a few good teams, that, if they got together could just as easily dominate.

Seed 6-8 in Galileo if you're a good team and man, your 2nd round choice is going to be fantastic. I think 148 is crying out with joy, because they are the perfect 2nd round bot. In such a stacked division, they will be a 2nd round pick, rather than in a weak division, a 1st rounder.

You forgot to add a third partner in Newton.......233/968/359.
We actually were all together in a match for an epic 138 score!
As the Hawaiians would say.....Hana Hou! (One more time!):yikes:

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

Galileo def. looks like the strongest division.
O.o

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

That was pretty sweet. . .
Seems that people are forgetting that 2056 is in Newton, as well. They have been a dominating team this year, as well.

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

so... this is final?

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

Read the disclaimer in the initial post on this thread.

This info is coming from the official FIRST team list, but until they post the team lists for each division to the "Championship Event Info" page, you can't consider it to be truly official.

Knowing everyone's penchant to refresh the team list every five minutes around this time of year, it would be extreme folly for FIRST to populate the division column of the team list and let the entire world view it if they weren't 100% certain that information was final and valid.

Rochester is gonna ROCK Curie!!!

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

Careful now, wasn't Curie stacked last year with have 16, 34, 48, 67, 118, 330, 469, 910, and 1114
and didn't Newton end up winning the whole thing?

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

and newton was stacked the year before, and archimedes ended up taking it home. Its hard to pick against stacked divisions, but many times what happens is the super teams get broken up because of a 1st seeder thats not quite up to par with the rest. Decent team, with some decent luck = super alliance breaker uppers. But there may just be too many good teams to see this happen.

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

Archimedes watchers should also look out for RUSH (27)

As for Curie last year...
interesting things happened.

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

i think gali will have the best matches, but in the end, newton will win it.... as much as i hate to say that, all the key stats that i look at say that.... look in the OPR thread for more info

Re: 2008 Final Championship Divisions
 

Wow, for my first year going to Championships, this is looking to turn into an awesome time thanks to all of these amazing teams. Can't wait to see you all. Good luck everyone:]
