I was the alliance captain who was in disbelief that that matchup was still available to me - *check the list, check the board, look around, check the board again, announce it slowly so I wouldn't look bad if they had already been picked* - then - *crazy excitement*

PS: Thanks Cory - though I wouldn't put any money on anyone, even you guys, in Galileo - it's just too crazy to predict.

Re: Newton 2008
 

This is going to be one heck of a battle. I am very glad to be apart of newton division. Hope to see everyone at the competition and it will be very cool to meet some new west coast teams 60,39 that, I've always wanted to talk to as well as many others. Good luck to everyone and we will see you there.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Well, Buzz is certainly excited, competition looks good in Newton as always. See you all there.

Re: Newton 2008
 

We are not that new, If you remember 64, The Gila Monsters, on the Einstein finals in 2005, we were that team, we just change our number.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Oh I know I meant new for me personally sorry, should have made that clear. Anyone who knows me well , knows I am basically a living book on FIRST numbers/teams. Sorry for this being off topic also.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Whatever alliance team goes on to finals from here will be a strong one. I'm ready for some high scoring qualification matches!

Re: Newton 2008
 

Whatever happens this year, it's gonna be some crazy awesome competition.

Good luck to all the teams, and goodness gracious I can't wait for next week.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Who could forget 64!

Re: Newton 2008
 

I really couldn't wait for divisions to come out, and now that they have I can't wait for the match list. This is going to be lots of fun!

Re: Newton 2008
 

o snap.

Newton ftw!

Re: Newton 2008
 

You talking about us? :rolleyes: If you are, I'm almost positive we've come across every major disaster/malfunction there is and derived simple fixes for 'em.

Re: Newton 2008
 

I am pretty sure he is referring to us. Last year in the finals at Palmetto our robot broke and this year at Palmetto Semi-finals something broke again.

No worries Arefin we got it under control. We have used our fixed window wisely. ;)

I can't wait, this seems like a really fun division with many good teams and teams with great spirit.

Newton ftw!! Indeed.

Re: Newton 2008
 

SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU FOLKS! I was just asking about your Gila Monster team, wondering what became of your team.
Yes, I do remember 2005 as you folks squeaked out a win in vegas over 368 and beat us in the finals that year. Plus, we do remember the good old times at SVR.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Don't forget about Team 20.

Re: Newton 2008
 

Ha, Its been almost 12 hours of constant talk about how stacked Galileo is.

Newton is gonna have to knock some sense into them..;)

Seriously, lots of sleeper teams in this field, not all the popular teams, but certainly many many contenders. Depth of field is immense..

1279 will getting their hands dirty in this division

Good luck and it should be fun!
