Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
Currently, there is an individual thread for each division; be it Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, or Newton: the underlying discussion always flows towards the "powerhouses". Who has the best chance of making it to Einstein?
http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...nt.aspx?id=432 I decided to make this thread in order to discuss this in one place, rather than going from thread-to-thread. So, Chief Delphi community, WHO will breakaway from the wide assortment of teams to make it to Einstein? To the TOP? :rolleyes: Let the Buzzing begin. |
Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
I know in Curie several people are talking about seeing 1114 and 469 team up and take it all. I'm gonna wait until I see a few matches on Thursday before I make a call though.

Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
Just wait for Looking Forward's Championship predictions. I have a feeling they will be really well written and insightful. More than anything people will post up in this thread.
In the mean time....67 and 125 for Newton, if all goes well for our friends in Boston ;) |
Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
Both teams are fantastic. However most teams have implemented autonomous or some other strategy to shut out 469 from the tower.
1114 is more of the wide-range type of robot with excellent scoring capabilities. 469 must be able to attach to the tower in order to cycle balls, and also needs a good scoring robot on their side to support their efforts. If their denied access to the tower . . . |
Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
469 is just as deadly out of the Tunnel, they are an excellent mid field shooter. (probably in the top 5 shooters on Curie)
In order to beat 469 you have to do more then just keep them out of the tunnel/tower. -Clinton- |
Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
That would be 1114 and 469, coming out of the Curie division. Prediction: massive scores, no third matches.
Actual predictions: Archimedes: Very strong division making predictions hard. However, I see 25, 341, 1629 coming out on top after a hard fight against a field that includes 359, 148, 330, 33, 254, 1918, and 71. It's so close that I'm not going to predict who the finalists are. Galileo: 1086, 2056, 1625 best 217, 1717, 1466 in the finals to move on. Curie: 1114, 469, 111 best 2345, 1732, 115 to come to the big show. Newton: 67, 294, 1902 best 16, 910, 932. Depending who plays who: A-C, G-N: C, G C wins. A-G, C-N: A, C C wins. A-N, G-C: N, C C wins. We all know how predictions are, though. |
Re: Einstein Field: Division Winner Predictions
My call for each division:
Galileo: 1717, 217 Curie: 1114, 469 Newton: 67, 1902 but somehow 177 will be on einstein again, it is their destiny. Archimedes: 25, 330 |

I don't want to turn this into a 469 thread, but simply denying them a tower doesn't win you the match. Not by a long shot. That said, I fully expect to see 469+1114 against 67 and whomever comes out of Newton with them. |

1114, 469 and 111 will NOT happen. If it did, scouters will be fired.:) |

Apologies. However I also did not intend for this thread to focus only Curie's most acknowledged teams. Other divisions? |

And when I wrote that post, it was simply a matter of: Who's likely to slide down the farthest without people noticing? Wildstang has yet to make it past the semis this year, with a 21-8-1 regional record. There's a chance they'll slide, and 1114's scouters are very, very good. |

1) The ball first bounces on one of the horizontal bars of the ball return so this variable greatly effects the behavior of the ball in thier system. 2) Speed variations of the ball coming down the ball return would change the free-fall of the ball from their director dramatically (I know right, "no duh" moment). 3) They are able to adjust the angle of their robot once they hang, so yet again, variable. But even with slight problems, we were all stunned that they were not selected in Boston because 1) They guarantee a hanging bonus 2) They direct the ball into the near zone, who cares if it doesn't go into the goal??? I really don't think people in Boston understood the real value of a robot that guarantees balls returning to the near zone. |
