I am at a complete and total loss for words.... this is soooooooo amazing stacked! :ahh: This totally deserves another crazy face! :ahh: Ok... there will be more crazy faces later... Oh and I'm calling it now, somewhere in qualifiers the 200 point mark will be broken. :D

dude... thats bold:ahh: (theres my edition to the crazy faces)

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

I would say 1114, 217, 40 in a close one. All of them are good teams, but I still think 1114 tops them all.
And no need to apologize for not including us, everyone should know that our robot isn't exactly one to expect to win two regionals. I don't think there's a team this year that is as lucky as we are. So if you're looking for some luck in the eliminations, maybe you should consider picking us:rolleyes:. Just kidding on that(maybe).

I'm just excited to be going to Atlanta. 115 is going to Championships for the first time since 2003, so none of the current students have ever been there. And I'm excited and scared like others about being in such a stacked division. This will be fun to watch for sure.

We used the algorithm to see what kind of matches we were in for(I know it can vary). And i noticed something in all 3 different algorithms We rarely ever went against a high number team. Most of the time it was 1500 or lower???? Any one know why? Also in the 3rd set look for match 58 you will get a kick out of that.

Few More Historical Stats

Past World Champions-8
25(2000), 48 (1999), 65 (2003), 148 (1993), 176 (1999), 217 (2006), 330 (2005) 469 (2003), 494 (2004)

Past World Finalists-9

25 (2003, 2006), 84 (1999), 121 (1998), 180 (2002), 195 (2006), 254 (2001, 2005), 343 (2003), 469 (2004), 494 (2003)

More division winners than I have time to count tonight.

2 Hall of Fame teams

254 (2004), 103 (2003)

This is easily the toughest division I have ever been a part of, is this the year that history changes, 254 or 1114 breaks their streak of bad luck? Are one of our 8 previous winners going to get a second victory? Can 1114 seed number 1? Will they pick 217? Where do 25, 40, 121, 254, 330, 469, 494/70, and 1717 fit in? And most importantly for whatever insane alliance comes out of this division, IS THIS THE YEAR GALILEO FINALLY GETS TO TASTE A CHAMPIONSHIP?

Count me gidy with excitement.

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

I can't wait for this! So many good teams around... qualifications will be intense, elims will be even better ^.^

Personally, I foresee the "blocking" strategy being used again to tear apart the top teams. All 8 alliances will be one really great hurdling machine, one good hurdling machine, and a good lapbot/moderate hurdler/defense bot.

However it turns out, I'm SURE it would be a blast!

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

Ok ok, we know all of the unimportant stuff now.
Now for the most important part of the division....


WHOS GONNA BE THE MC???

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

Or even more importantly, who's the head ref?

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

LOL... this division will for sure be fun to watch. I just can't believe how many top tier robots are in Galileo. It blows my mind

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

Can I apologize to them now for the anticipated blood-bath-to-come?

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

My thoughts exactly..

*waves hi at good, good friends Frank Kusiak and Ron Webb, with whom I spent much time in the question boxes this year*

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

195 was a world finalist in 2006.

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

25 was World Finalist in 2006, not 2005.

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

I'm soooo excited, it is going to be INTENSE. And I can't wait to do the WAVE with 399!!

Re: Galileo Division 2008
 

Looking over this thread

I just want to cry... dont know if its because I'm scared or because im so excited to be a part of it...

hahaha LETS GO GaCo(1629)

We are going to give it our all and hopefully all teams do the same!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!
