Did some digging found this http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...pionship-event

Einstein Field, Archimedes Division, Curie Division, Galileo Division, Newton Division.

What is this exactly?
These are various divisions at the Championship event (except for Einstein, which I'll get to in a moment)

This year, there are 8 subdivisions, and 4 divisions. The distinction comes in the awarding of judged awards (Engineering Inspiration, Rookie All-Star, etc). There is one winner per division, which consists of two subdivisions.

In all other respects, subdivisions are like divisions in years past. They operate like a regional, in that there are qualification and playoff matches that are done independently. There are 75 teams per subdivision this year.

Einstein is where the winners of those subdivisions play, to determine the world champion. Typically, this has been a pristine field that has not been played on before. With 8 subdivisions this year, that is not possible. Therefore, the Archimedes and Tesla fields are going to be converted into Einstein fields this year.

Hope that helps!
