Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions

Thank you very much for the compliment. I will admit that I very much follow FIRST in an obsessive manner and I am happy to see that one of my predictions was followed. I was surprised to see more weren't with the possibility and, it seemed, the advantage. As a side note, I didn't realize I had predicted that alliance until you said it, but in my bracket challenge I did predict that alliance advancing to Einstein. I guess I was that passionate about my predictions. ;)

And you know there's always the possibility you wanted to make my prediction come true. :D

I watched Archimedes on the webfeed and your robot really impressed me throughout the competition. Congratulations to your team on building such a great machine. Best of luck in the coming seasons and have a restful and productive off-season.

I think that you plan on outscoring 469, then you have your work cut out for you.

Match 1 on Curie, Thursday afternoon. Done, and Done.

Still didn't help in the end, though.:(

Thanks for the compliments. We were very pleased with our alliance picks on Saturday. We would have loved to make your prediction completely accurate, but one of our alliance partners had mechanical problems in the 2nd and 3rd matches of the quarter finals so it wasn't to be. We have no regrets about our picks though - both 1918 and 70 were a pleasure to work with and I hope we get to do it again sometime.

Congrats on the Chairman's award - entirely deserved from what I've seen and heard of your team.

Like anyone's this is tainted with my perspective of strategy and skill and is of course optimistic forward my former team, but in no way am I fooling myself just hopeful. Also I think The Killer Daisy Resistance would be a pretty great name for the defensive alliance that shuts down the beast :) I'd love feedback.

Thank you. I guess I missed that. This is what is was supposed to be.

WOW! Congratulations on predicting our alliance. Our team was very excited to play in the eliminations and place 5th in the most stacked division in Atlanta! Yes, it was disappointing to loss in the quarters, but there were so man high-powered matches it was honoring to even play with these teams in the eliminations and even just tie a match!

Congratulations on such a well deserved Chairmans award! You are truly an amazing FIRST team that everyone should and does look up too! :)
