This divison looks really good everyone... But we gotta pull togther if we want to take down that stacked galieo divison..

So 33, 67, and 573 should we make daves prediction right and put a couple GLR teams on Einstien..

But I really like whats gonig to happen here.. :)

Thank you, David, for answering my question regarding the 'perfect storm' via PM. I have read so many comments about this speech and your very brief summary gave me goosebumps as I was reading - thinking of the knowledge and wisdom that must have been captured in those treasured moments for the teams that were present.

There were many speeches given throughout the FIRST world during this competition season. It would be a beautiful tribute to have them gathered in an archive of some type, even though many may have been scribbled on paper or perhaps not even jotted down. Their words are golden and significant to all of us who listen.

Thank you again, David - though I have to say - watch out for some good ole friendly competition coming from the Texas teams. :)

If there's anything that scares as much that Michigan, Canadian, and Californian teams, its TEXAS TEAMS! But seeing as how you know a lot about Texas teams let me say this. Prepare to face a team like 148 but can knock the ball!

Man I cant wait to see Curie in person!

We have been in a different division each year and finally we are in Curie!!! (Arch-'05, Gal-'06, New-'07 and now Cur-'08!)

Don't count Florida out now.

Just one more week....

I'll say, my team is from Texas and it is my team's 5th and my 3rd year in FIRST and this is the FIRST year we have won any awards from the Lone Star Regional. Other than that we are really excited about getting to go to nationals and are looking forward to meeting new teams and getting a chance to see some friendly faces such as teams 57 and 16 who both helped us in some very tough regionals.:)

I have a feeling that the "Texas Tornado" will collide with "The Perfect Storm" and form an alliance that can give the other division winners a run for their money. ;)

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
Ok, so everyone who is in the Curie Division, I have a challenge for all of you. The TechnoKats have started a new tradition this year and we call it a Moses Cheer. The RoboCoach (me or the other driver) before every match will hold his hands high to the sky as everyone cheers, then he will lower them. At this time everyone is to get completely silent. He will then raise and lower them at different heights showing how loud for everyone to cheer. There will also be special hand signals given out so that special things can be cheered. So my challenge to you is to make sure that your entire team in the stands know about this so that everyone will get into it. It is really fun with everybody doing it at the same time.

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
1025 is happy to be competing on Curie this year. The Michigan teams got split up almost equally among the divisions. So while we'll be looking forward to seeing some old acquaintences, we are also looking forward to making new alliances from around the country and world.

IMPI Robotics is a new team formed after the 2007 season. We operate out of Ferndale HS, and have veteran members from inactive teams, as well as rookie members. We also are privileged to be allied with Trophy Robotics of South Africa (RSA) who make up part of our team. Seven of our members are from RSA and have travelled to join us this week, and will be in Atlanta. Stop by our pit to meet us (look for the flaming tiki torches) or visit our scouts in the stands (royal blue shirts).

I'm sure that Rolling Thunder will totally get into this! And I can see a few modifications to our standard cheers...

"Roll-ing Thun-der clap clap clapclapclap" will joined with "Ma-rie Cur-ie clap clap clapclapclap!"

"I believe that Robots Rock!" will include a periodic "I believe that Curie Rocks!"

I am so packing my ear-plugs! :ahh:

It will be good seeing you Mr. Voshol, I haven't gotten to see any of the team since you guys made the transition from 1188 to 1025. My dad was crushed when I told him you guys changed teams because he was wearing a Oaktown Crewz polo at the time.

Hmmm, that is a fairly good idea, however, it's a lot easier to imagine what a robot can do when you actually see it in person, especially in action.

If I tried to describe my robot, it'd take forever. And none of the scouters on my team are on CD xD

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
Thats pretty funny.. Maybe you can give a genral what does it do!! Or one of the great qualities it has for example...

We generally get 4-5 lines in hybrid and an ball once in a while..

If our driver is on (ME) we probably could get 3 or more hurdles...

Also as a FYI we were the Great Lakes Reginoal Champs with 67 who is also in the divison and 503.

I don't think I need to describe our robot to you man (you've seen it plenty already!) However, I can give a basic description for all the other fine individuals who are interested. Well, maybe later at least, I'm currently preoccupied with homework.

This is team 1599 and we are so thrilled to be going to the nationals in Atlanta. I was wondering if you could give us any tips about the competition and what goes on. Its our first time going so we are all a little nervous. If you have any tips or just want to get to know us just e-mail me back. I would love to get to know everyone. See you at competition!!!

Umm Our robot also can do 4 to 5 lines in auton, and it has gotten a ball down once. We usually get 4 hurdles and a place at the end. It is also bright yellow and that's pretty cool I guess

:( So sad there aren't enough Hawaii teams to make an all Hawaii alliance. Even if there were, hopefully alliances get picked based on merit and not region. :)

tennispro9911 11-04-2008 16:28
Re: Curie Division 2008
 
I'm sure teams will pick based on merit. Just its interesting to throw around alliances based on regional that would do well. Everyone knows that once the selection starts, region distiction means very little compared to robot capabilities, although 2053 won FLR when allied with 191 (and 20, 174) so that would be fun to revive that alliance.

Yup.

Let's see,
we have:
California, Arkansas, Michigan, Indiana, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Hawai'i :), North Carolina, New Hampshire, Ohio, Maryland, Iowa, Arizona, South Carolina, Brazil (!), Colorado, Georgia, Rhode Island, Virgina, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Illinois, Nevada, Idaho, Canada (!), Mexico (!), Mississippi, and Massachussets. Who'd I miss?

I'm going to make a bold prediction, the winning alliance in Curie is going to have one MI team, one NY team, and one TX team (191, 118/1477, 573/67/326)? If any of those three robots team up, it might be all but a done deal.

190 is not from NY, they are from Worcester, Massachusetts. I think you meant to say 191. :)

The last thing the competitors on Galileo are going to want is for the competitors on Curie to shut down. Curie is Curie. It's going to rock with competition, awesome alliances, reffing, and FIRST personalities. So are the other divisions. It will be exhausting and exhilarating, both, with everyone bringing their A game. The pits are going to be fun - wonder if 45 is bringing their New Year's ball again this year.

CUR-IE

No, 45 is not planning to bring their New Year's Eve ball this year.

The drive team has been practicing so much that they might get confused. We had to hide this LED Ball, for fear that they would grab it throw it over the Overpass.

I think that the drive team has put in over 140 simulated 2 minute matches since our last regional, on the backup robot.

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
We leave tomorrow at 7 on a bus from Binghamton, NY area and will arrive mid-day Wednesday.

One day until we leave.

Two days until uncrating.

Three days until practice matches start.

Four days until matches matter.

Five days until the Curie Division champion takes home the gold overall!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, who wants to be bold and make predictions?

If I have time, I'm going to use the offensive power rankings and go through and simulate matches to get the top 8 seeds if everything went according to power rankings which it won't. I'll try to do both overall considering all regionals and the highest regional power ranking. That will be interesting to see how that turns out. I've seen 67 and 191 in person and had the pleasure of being on 191's alliance at FLR, which is a huge reason my team is competing in Atlanta this week. Both have great robots.

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
To make any bold predictions you would have to see a couple of quailifing matches to start to get an idea of whos robobts are capatible with who.

As example.. At GLR we wouldn't have wanted to be on an alliance with the martians (70, 494) because we felt that we would have to many automous problems of running into each other. Also with rush (27) we weren't a really able to play their style of offenise they wanted us to play. With HOT (67) we were able to qucikly help them get balls down for them to have one to hurdle, also in three matches we had atleset 30 point autons (one being a lovely 60 points).

So i say once see acouple of matches you'll have a better idea of who can work with who.

But i'll give you a small prediction of a good alliance that could take Curie and put a strong fight on Einstien..

If 67/326/33 were on any allaince its over...Some qucik stats

67- Winner GLR, hurdle 4-5, 4 to 5 lines in auton

326- Winner GLR, hurdle 2-3, run 7-8 laps, 4 to 5 lines in auton maybe a ball or two

33- Semifinalest in all 3 reginoals, hurdle 4 to 5, get 3-4 lines in auton

Perfect matches with these three teams (and both balls down in auton) possible scores of : 152 (w/o 326 hurding and runnig laps playing defense)

4 hurdles by 33/67= 80 points 5 laps by 326= 10 points
perfect auton 67=16 points 33=16 points 326= 32 points(with two balls down)

But this is all totally a unlikely happening, 326 or 33 being a 3rd round pick is very unlikely, but who knows.

Thats a pretty bold statement, their are a ton of great robots in curie, and I'd also say that, with the utmost respect for their team, 33 seems a little over rated to me. Good robot, definitely. As great as they were two years+ ago, not in my opinion. Also, if your gonna say that an alliance of 67/326/33 were unstoppable, I'd have to counter with an alliance of 191/1477/118. That by no means would be an easy match up for your unstoppable alliance and their would be a high chance of you losing. But lets be realistic, there is almost no chance of either of these alliances happening because they are all teams that will go quickly. So let me make this very general prediction, if any alliance has three robots that all rank in the top 15 OPR wise at (and this is very important) THE CHAMPIONSHIP (not based on previous performances) AND is a strategically balanced alliance, they will be the team to beat.

Since 2005, so this year is the 4th year in a row. And unless any teams in between us and number get added, then we will probably stay in Curie for a few more years. :D
I'm wondering though, if FIRST will ever switch up the order/way they do the placement. (i.e. By 3s, a random picker (like the Lotto), etc.)

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
Similarly to Joe Ross in the Galileo Thread. This is an iterative ranks result. The team list was cycled 256 times and then using the OPR the winners of each match were determined. Then using FIRST's ranking criteria the ranks were generated for each iteration. What you see here is the summary report for all 256 runs of this process.

the data is in this format
Team numbers (sorted by highest percent of being #1 seed)
Highest rank achieved throughout all the cycles
lowest rank achieved throughout all the cycles
Average rank
Median rank (the middle)
Mode (most common rank)
Times a team was the #1 seed (out of 256 cycles)
Times a team was in the top 8 (out of 256 cycles)
% a team was in the top 8 (out of 256 cycles)



Now I would like to note that this is based solely on the OPR which is past performance and while there are teams that don't show they can make the top 8 statistically in real life anything can happen. Basically don't think that I was attacking your team if you are lower than you think you should be as this doesn't take into account defense, robots breaking, penalties, etc. This all for fun anyway.

Thanks to Joe Ross for the code to do this, my way was not nearly as elegant as his.

Re: Curie Division 2008
 
To respond to some different posts:

Since people have already starting making some predictions, I'll post mine. I'm predicting that 16/67/1592 will take the division. 16 and 67 both are fantastic hurdles and 1592 is an all around solid robot that can fit many different roles.

I agree that 2337 is the real deal. I heard a lot about them and saw them boot the ball over the overpass, but I thought they were just a one trick pony and because of thier cool method of hurdling, they were getting too much attention. But after scouting them, I was cleary wrong. Not only are they one of the most fun teams to watch hurdle, they have a good hybrid, good knockoff and very good drivers. I usually don't like a rookie's chances getting into eliminations for the Championship, but these team have a fantastic chance.

To the numbers that Greg posted, they show how wide open this division is. There are plenty of teams that have a legitimate chance at getting the number 1 seed.

There are also a lot of sleepers. One sleeper that I haven't heard anyone talk about is 2171. I think many people see their high number and just dismiss them right off the bat. Unlike 2337, they don't have the flashy hurdling so they tend to get lost in the suffle. They were the top seed and eventual winner in West Michigan, so they have proven they can win. Once they get in a roll, they are deadly, and I doubt they will face much defense (atleast early on). While they may not be on the top line, they are a strong team that will fly under the radar and may be a favorable schedule away from capturing a high seed.

A second team that could suprise is 501. In watching thier matches, they showed flashes of greatness but other times was just good. If they play as well as they can the whole time, they could be a major threat.

Whatever happens, it should be very exciting!
