Re: Archimedes 2010
Medes is once again going to be a blast this year! Being 201's third year strait in it, we are definitely excited to play in this incredibly stacked field!
Since Archimedes is always the most spirited of the divisions, I think I will start out the famous chant... ARCHI- |

Re: Archimedes 2010
It's our third time in Atlanta since 2005 and our third time in Archimedes. The competition is going to be FIERCE!
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
What really scares me is that 103,25, 148 could be one powerhouse alliance in this field. For those of you who don't know about the legacy of 25 and 103, they paired up 3 times to win the NJ regional together, and once in Florida. Every time, they were a huge powerhouse.
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
It looks like we couldn't hit Galileo for the fourth year in a row. :rolleyes:
Looking forward to the fun down in Atlanta ;) |
Re: Archimedes 2010
Looks like 176's second year on Archi. Excited to see we're with quite a few friends from last year as well. Should be a great field. :D

Re: Archimedes 2010
If this stays anywhere close to the way it is now, I think this is going to be the most competitive sets of elimination round that I've ever seen if people pick em right. I mean in this division there are so many teams that dominated regional events pretty darn close to 24 if they get together, it's going to be pretty close to the apocalypse. I'd say if you can get out this divison, you get figure out how to beat 1114 and 469, if of course these aspects of the divisions don't stray much from the present. Off the top of my head we have: 25, 33, 71, 148, 254, 330, 341, 359, 1918. Wow! Just wow. ..234, 375, 1124, 103 It's going to be mere insanity figuring out strategies to get through each and every match.
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
Well, one thing's for sure. We're not gonna be bored this year xD I'm actually really excited how intense it is. Makes every win sweeter and every match all the more fun. Let's make Archimedes the most covered field on NASA this year! :D
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
Team 3411 CAN NOT wait to compete in Archimedes in our whirwind rookie year! I can't wait to experience the athmosphere of a FIRST world championship. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Brazilian team.
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
1918 is ready to rock :) sounds like a great match up, should be a ton of fun :):)

Less than 6 days until Championship! |
Re: Archimedes 2010
This will be 326's first time on Archimedes!!
This is gonna be goooooddd!! |
Re: Archimedes 2010
I haven't gotten my assignment yet but this would indeed be a sweet division to watch! You guys are going to have fun! I hope we don't get too loud for you over at Galileo! :)

I can't help remembering something my son said when the TechnoKats found themselves in Archimedes his Freshman year:

Re: Archimedes 2010
Just ran some numbers.
26 regional wins (359 has 3- San Diego, Arizona, and Hawaii) 5 regional finalist 4 district wins 2 district finalist 1 Michigan State Champion 1918 Lookin good Archimedes! Eh, everyone will probably be watching Curie and not watch until the insane matches are over! Then they will regret it! :D |
Re: Archimedes 2010
Archimedes is going to be a great division this year. Coming from the MSC,1918 is ready to see what the rest of the country has to offer :]
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
Wow! This is gonna be really fun! Just watching the division qualification matches will be amazing. I can't wait for next week :]

Re: Archimedes 2010
604 is crazy excited to be competing with many great teams from around our area as well as those from abroad! See you all next week!

Just thinking of a few teams (1, 201, 33, 1918, 3357, 70), I count 5 district finalists and only 3 district wins. Finalists: 1 33 (twice) 201 1918 Winners: 70 1918 3357 Still, that's a lot of MI power (from only 6 of the many MI teams)! |
Re: Archimedes 2010
3256 is excited to compete with so many great teams. Good Luck! :)

Re: Archimedes 2010

That is the most wins of all divisions (Galileo - 37, Curie - 33, Newton - 28). Additionally, only 25 times did a team in Archimedes not make eliminations. That is the least number of all divisions (Curie - 31, Galileo - 31, Newton - 34). The average OPR in Archimedes is 2.09. That is the highest of any division (Curie - 1.99, Newton - 1.96, Galileo - 1.74). We also have the most Chairman's Awards - 17. (Curie - 14, Galileo - 12, Newton - 10). All in all, this is the deepest and most accomplished division in FIRST this year. I can't wait. |

Re: Archimedes 2010
This is gonna be fun. Team 45 is in a division with many teams that we have never been with.
Archimedes is gonna rock! Andy B. team 45 drive coach |
Re: Archimedes 2010
I would just like to say I'm glad I'm not competing against Archimedes.
The team list is the Energizer bunny. It keeps going and going and going and going and going... |
Re: Archimedes 2010
Team 86 is looking forward to being on this division with our Florida regional championship teammate 1612! and 103 as well->Maybe we'll get the chance to pair up this time =D
Going to be a tough division to win in, but lets crank out the winning Einstein alliance! |

Re: Archimedes 2010
Archimedes is arguably the toughest and deepest division this year. It's too bad we can't distill all that talent into the three teams going to Einstein. At the end of the day, I hope we aren't just preparing battle scarred cannon fodder for 1114 & 469.

Re: Archimedes 2010
Similar to what I did in previous years, I ran through 200 simulated qualification match schedules (all 144 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's average opr for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 200 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.
Code:
Team Avg Rnk Med Rnk Mod Rnk SD Rnk Min Rnk Max Rnk #1 seed Top 8 Avg SS Med SS Stdv SS Min SS Max SS |
Re: Archimedes 2010
I have never seen the FIRST data analyzed like this before, and I must say it's really cool!
If you don't mind, what did you use to simulate all of the match data? |

Re: Archimedes 2010
Team 2574 is extremely excited to participate in Archimedes. Although it looks like it;s going to be a really tough division. See you all there!
|
Re: Archimedes 2010
Of all the teams they add to Archimedes, they add 968??? Wow!
for us, we keep getting into tough divisions.:ahh: 2005 Archimedes was tough. 2006 Newton was hands down the toughest. 2007 We didnt go 2008 Newton was almost as tough as Galileo.....i.e. Pink and Rawc dominated and even almost won Einstein. 2009 Galileo was the toughest field. 2010 Archimedes is the deepest from almost every statistical category, including Chairman's. This will definitely be the field to watch during eliminations from start to end. We have never been to Curie and it seems that our friends 368 always get Curie year after year. |

Oooh... Team 159 and 1519...

I think that Team 341 (Miss Daisy) and Team 33 should team up.
Why??..... Because it would be open season for the field announcers. The Bee/Flower/Pollination jokes would be amazing. :D |

Hey Cowboy Guy! We need you! We've got more stuff to show you:D ! And if you weren't there, who would stop us from using C-clamps on our robot?

Only 5 more days until we show Atlanta how spirited Archimedes is! Anyone excited. :cool:

Hey guys
I was just doing a little pre scouting and when I tried to find pictures on The Blue Alliance I realized that many teams did not have a photo posted. I was hoping that maybe we could post pictures of all the robots or if someone knew a place with more pictures and could show me the way. Any help would be great. |
Re: Archimedes 2010
sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find this information anywhere!
Does anybody have the link for the championship webcast (specifically the Archimedes field)? I know NASA usually does it, but I can only find the links to this year's archived footage on their site. |

 On behalf of team 1241, joining as a late entry we are excited to be in the Archimedes Division and can't wait till Atlanta! P.S If you started using the scouting sheets by using the list off of UsFirst you might not have caught our team cause it haden't been updated till recently. Just a heads up and Good Luck to all teams! |

Here's 176's robot in DC. Sorry it's a bit blurry. The only clear picture has the robot a lot smaller and in darker lighting :/
We're using a 6 wheel articulating drive driven by 4 CIMs on the AM Toughboxes, a hanging mechanism on a winch with a dog gear, and a spring loaded kicker pulled back by a window motor.  |

I apologize for the fact that this image is going to be very large, but here is Team 201's 2010 robot!
 Tank drive -pneumatic wheels in front -omni rear Variable tension kicker -Score from all zones Ball magnet Can go over bump and under tower Hangs using "the hook" -10 Seconds from ground to max hang height Quote:

Re: Archimedes 2010
I don't have any good pics of 33's bot, but you can see everything above the bumpers in my WAI pic. Hangs really quickly from the vertical bar. I think Daniel Ernst has some mixed in with pics from Kettering, Troy, and MSC. He posted a link to the MSC ones HERE, the best ones of our bot are:
Hanging Driving 6wd, center wheel articulated. Normally drop-center but the center wheel can come up as much as 4-5" front 4 wheels are AM Plaction wheels rear 2 are omni wheels Even though it might not seem obvious from the picture of the underside (hanging), all wheels are driven. 4x CIM through AM Shifters, ~5 and 12 fps. Claw - Hangs quickly from vertical pole and also pushes center wheels down (they are not actuated other than this) Pincher-type ball magnet, on a floating assembly, sprung down to go over minor terrain changes like the small bump by the towers and such Variable-distance spring kicker, motor recoil. Cool lights to show off during tower-hanging, doubles as feedback to driver and coach. |

Re: Archimedes 2010
I'm excited to see 103 compete with some world-class competition. We always seem to be on a "stacked" or "deep" division and this year is no exception. Here's some alliance predictions.
1.25,254,190 W 2.33,148,1519 SF 3.71,968,103 F 4.1918,201,70 SF 5.330,359,1153 QF 6.233,341,1218 QF 7.1124,118,86 QF 8.45,234,2753 QF Every time I look at the list I see another powerhouse team that I have yet to notice. With all of this talent, I'm looking forward to qualification matches that are actually fun to watch:) . |
Re: Archimedes 2010

Though, I think that a #1 Alliance of 25, 254, and 103 would be much more awesome. I guess it's also possible that 25 could select 968 if they play well and try to repeat the magic of Newton '06. Regardless, I think I'll be spending some of my free time on Archi cheering on some of the awesome teams from the NJ/PA area. (25, 103, 341, 1218, 2753) |
