Yay, we're with 842! and 148 and 1625 and 33 and 16 and.....

Newton looks like a great division to play in - some really awesome teams to be found! Including the NERDS, Pink Team, Cyber-Blue, X-Cats,...

I'm really excited to have the chance to play with Bomb Squad (Team 16 has literally been part of my family, but I don't believe we've shared a field since I joined Team 980 in 2003).

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

After looking through these divisions a couple times, I think there are some pretty significant differences in depth.

Galileo looks to me to be the most accomplished field, followed by Curie, Newton, and Archimedes (IMO).

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

There does not seem to be any apparent order that the teams were picked if you look at the number sorting. Nothing like what we have seen in the past.
Must be a random sort by number or they used some other sorting parameter.

We look forward to playing in Curie...

Does Anybody know what TV channels The Championship will be on???? And what times??

NASA TV generally carries Championship on Friday and Saturday (all day). Hopefully, the event stays on schedule so the finals on Einstein are broadcast.

The Championship information page on the FIRST web site includes this:

Quote:

*Live viewing of the Championship courtesy of NASA - NASA will Web cast the event. You may also view it on NASA TV.

That's the best and most official schedule I know how to find.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

I haven't checked...

Maybe some how there is a fancy algorithm for this. Possibly... add all the team numbers up for each division and see where it goes from there? :p

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

So Dave,
how did you do it? :D

We're always in Newton or Galileo every year. At least our HP, who pushes the cart wont have to walk as far.
Wait, are they switching the locations of the divisions also? :P

I'm pretty sure Dave doesn't have much to do with the division selections... And it would be interesting if they switched positions of the playing fields too, but I doubt it.

We've been on Galileo or Newton every year I've been on the team also.. Except this year. Curie here we come!

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

I hope they do cause we are in Archimedes and since ive never been on the drive team, everyone else that has says it is SO FAR AWAY!!!

It'd be cool if they did it where 4 people got in a room with a list of teams. Each person was in charge of a division and they just went 1-4, 4-1, 1-4,... to pick teams for their division. Granted, this would probably take for ever, and there is probably a much more involved explanation, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that room.

Re: Question: Championship Divisions

My guess is they simply randomized the list of teams, then went ABCD ABCD down the new randomized list.

Maybe I'm the only one who sees this, but isnt 67 in Galileo? Or am I reading First's website wrong? And I am pretty sure 624 is in Archie, lol I've seen us in Galileo, Archie, and now Curie. Whats goin on? Sorry if someone already caught this...
