Re: Archimedes 2009
 

ahh... the archimedes allusions have already started:p

ARCHI!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

MEDES!!!

But seriously, if Archimedes wins Einstein this year, the winning teams all have to shout "Eureka!"
(not sure if this has been done before, but it'd be really cool to witness)

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

I'll try to get the rest of the CircuitRunners to do that.

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Team 2655 Flying PlatyPi is ready to rumble!!! and our buds 2415 are there too!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Maybe we can make another 8th seed run :) Cept' 832 wont b there to join us...:( Either way i am super excited!!!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

I say we go for a 1 seed run, being a winning underdog was crazy awesome though

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

2470 is looking forward to seeing you guys there! ARCHIMEDES! Yeah!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Team 1535 is looking forward to Archimedes! We are so happy that we are with 4 other Canadian teams! Good Luck to all!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Here are some metrics I ran - numbers for the number happy people, with some ghetto bar graphs. The first two kind of go together, they tell the number of robots picked in each section. IE picked 1st or 5th - 16th would be the 2nd selection of the 1st seeded alliance. The second graph are the number of actual alliance captains. EDIT - My fake graphs won't line up when I post, so you'll have to live with offset graphs.


Pick 1 – 11111111111 11
Pick 2-3 - 11111111111111 14
Pick 4-6 - 1111111111111111 16
Pick 7-10 - 111111111 9
Pick 11-13 - 11111111111111 14
Pick 14-16 - 111111111111 12

AC – 1 – 111111 6
AC – 2 – 1111 4
AC – 3 – 11 2
AC – 4 – 1111 4
AC – 5 – 1 1
AC – 6 – 1111 4
AC – 7 – 111 3
AC – 8 – 11111111 8

Here's the seeding of all the robots in Archimedes throughout their respective regionals. Obviously these aren't going to add up to 87 because on average teams went to 1.60 regionals.

Seed 1 - 111111 6
Seed 2-5 - 11111111111111111 17
Seed 6-10 - 1111111111111111111111111111 28
Seed 11-15 - 11111111111111111111111 23
Seed 16-20 - 11111111111 11
Seed 20-30 - 11111111111111111111111111111 29
Seed 30-40 - 11111111111111 14
Seed >=40 - 111111111111 12


We have 24 regional/district winners overall (that includes teams that won more than once: 2056 and 2415, ). So there are 22 individual teams that actually won their regionals/districts.

I don't think Archimedes is the strongest division overall - however I'm still looking forward to having a good time with what looks to be a lot of good teams. Cya guys there.

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Looking forwards to some great plays and new friends, and of course Overdrive will be coming in force!

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

Ok I can add more to all of this:

2 2 regional winners
2 rookie regional winners
24 total regional championships
11 finals appearances(not including multiple by same teams)
27 semi-finals appearnaces(not including multiple by same teams)
36 quarter-finals appearances(not including multiple by same teams)

Did you see Curie?:ahh: The thing about Lunacy is it's anybody's game.

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

I think Archimedes will be the most competitive division out there. It seems very level, so it should be quite fun.

Re: Archimedes 2009
 

I totally have to agree, we might not have 20 powerhouse teams but that just makes it so that we dont always have like 2 or 3 in every match and it makes it easier for more productive and more level alliances and matches
