Division Predictions/Reactions
 

Because the FRCTop25.com chat room was surprised there wasn't a thread about this yet.

Start your meaningless fantasizing now!

I'm guessing you can start splitting up the teams once the team list reaches 348....

I'll post the standard ACGN sort after 348 teams are confirmed.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

as far as I can tell the list is at 348... is it just that it is not confirmed. I am anxious to see what we are up against...

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

There are now 348 teams on the CMP list. Keep in mind the payment deadline is tomorrow, but anyone on the CMP list already had to commit to pay the event fee in some manner by now in order to appear on the registered list.

So back to the pointless speculating...

Dividing the teams into alternating Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, and Newton divisions and then sorting by Average OPR (as calculated by OPRnet) within each division leads to the following completely baseless, not founded on any truth whatsoever, possible, maybe, not really, just forget about it and wait until the real ones are announced, divisional breakdowns:

Its giving me an error when I try to open it up in excel.

Newton looks pretty challenging...

Need to extract the .zip first.

:D Looks like the algorithm places us in Newton! Here's hoping we get to play with those teams.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

this years theoretical Newton reminds me of how everyone called 1114 being on the same alliance as 469. I call 1114 and 148.

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

If 111 and 1114 get together it's "Game Over, Man!"

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

is WildStang better than Robowranglers? Tough call. At least 1511 and 191 may get a chance to work together again :)

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

111/1114 alliance captian, "And with our final pick we select team 177"

(not saying 177 would fall that far, everybody would want them and we all know why)

Re: Division Predictions/Reactions
 

I think FIRST should just get to the point and just assign 177 to the Einstein division where they can await an alliance they feel like working with.

Travis,

thanks for doing this!!
Is there any way you could do a serpentine version of this?

Does anyone remember what they have used in recent years?
I know for many years it was the simple 1,2,3,4--5,6,7,8---9,10,11,12...

From my recollection a couple of years ago it went to serpentine...

1,2,3,4-- 8,7,6,5 ---9.10,11,12 --- 16,15,14,13...

I honestly can't remember what was done last year...

thanks again!!

Bob

Last year there was either no pattern or it was complex enough that nobody was able to crack it - the assignments seemed pretty random.
