Re: Archi-medes!
 

Okay... before everyone lights up their flame throwers be advised I'm wearing nomex underwear and a fire suit. :D

I'm a little surprised to see some "powerhouse" teams that would normally be over on Einstein on Archimedes this year... maybe I just don't understand how FIRST assigns divisions but yeah... Archimedes seem stacked this year.

Should be a very very interesting weekend!
I have to agree... Einstein going down...
I wish Champs was THIS weekend... I'm going to be on pins a needles all week!

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Einstein is not a division... at least it doesn't really exist until the four divisions have run their course and arrived at their conclusions for who's cuisine reins supreme! *dramatic music...* (oh, sorry, my brain skipped to the Iron Chef track... I mean who's robot is the best :o )

Don't worry... Atlanta will get here soon enough, and before you know it, it'll be gone. :(

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Thanks for the correction Q... thats what I get from missing all but the last day of things... that and trying to post when running only running on a few hrs sleep each night!

Oh well, sleep for wimps... - protronie said that

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Who are we?? 93!!

Can't wait for the Championship Event - Archimedes should be an entertaining division to watch!!

One week and counting to load in...

Re: Archi-medes!
 

That also sounds pretty sweet. Quite possibly the coolest alliance on Archimedes?

Re: Archi-medes!
 

And 303 ;)

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Now that you say it that way... how awesome/hillarious would that be... iron-chef style robotics...

"Here we have the Iron Roboter, Kevin Watson and his sous-roboticists Woody Flowers and Dave Lavery... and the challenger... team xxxx!"

Alton Brown: "Now let's go to our chairman Dean Kamen for tonight's secret ingredient..."

Dean Kamen: "Tonight's secret ingredient is.... *dramatic music*... AndyMark Stackerboxes!!!! *unveils KOP tote full of stackerboxes*"

Alton: "Allright everyone, here it is, battle Stackerbox... you can see team xxxx gathering a heaping portion of stackerboxes and collecting four CIM motors from the Kit of Parts table..."

Okay, I'm done, waaaaay off topic. I'm going to go take a break for a while. :o

Re: Archi-medes!
 

If you have any impressions that any other division is stronger than
ours think about this...

No one team makes a winning alliance. If you ask them
they like the carpet filled up on both sides of them on
the starting line.

All teams break somethiing sooner or later... If sooner
probably the better, if later well then nerves of steel prevail.

Finally when you are staring across the plexiglass of life
remember the first thing you see is your own reflection.
Of course the next thing you see is a robot screaming down
at you so quit looking at yourself and grab your OI panel!

go Archi-medes!

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Anyone want Anomaly in their name? Anomaly Bacon, The Anomaly Kil-az, Umm Uber Anomaly? Lol if only....

Re: Archi-medes!
 

lmao...clearly, this will be EPIC. "Alton, Kevin Watson is not using MPLab. This is unusual but let's see where he goes with this."

...robotics kids have too much time on their hands:D

Re: Archi-medes!
 

So I think that before Atlanta we should come up with a chant for all of the division to know. Besides the token name chant. Any ideas?

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Looks like 171 will be joining ya'll. Good luck.

Re: Archi-medes!
 

Looks like Archimedes will be a fun division this year...! It will be a change not being in newton this year, this would have been our fourth year in newton.

Cant wait to Atlanta!
See you all there.

Re: Archi-medes!
 

straight and chiseled 171 will be there to rock out with the rest of y'all.
along with 93, 269 the former Cheese Curd Herd (now Extreme Engineering) will be there to represent WISCONSIN.

FIRST Time Flying.
FIRST Time Championship
FIRST Time hopefully to meet oink oink boom!

Remember Thursday is unofficial retro t-shirt day.
