And guys... don't make random posts (as much fun ast it is to cheer, I know...) just to bump this thread's post count up.

It's non-CD-like, it's non GP, and particulatly un-patriotic.

Let's win fair, square, and strong. It's not hard to do.

Also, I know there was a thread about where people are staying in Atlanta... but I'd rather not look through it and sort out which teams are in our division and not.

We're staying in the Wyndham.

I was leaving town and I felt the need to quickly wake up the thread with a cheer, but in general save the cheering for next week!

I'm not staying at the Wyndham, but I'm looking forward to those great Embassy Suites breakfasts along side our division mates, the UberBots.

Philly Finals match 1 is listed 0-0 when the actual score was 124-82 Red Alliance. There is alway a couple odd discrepancies on FIRST's match results every year, it just happens.

"pfft whateva"? That was the general reaction we got on the first day of the regional (=
When I first saw 1124 in a fill-in practice match of Da Cutt, I was like who is "magic carpet bot"? After I saw them run I was like, that must be Uberbots.

Is there video of 1124 them getting 2 ball knocks in hybrid of a match? I am interested to see who can (I've only seen 987 and us do it so far).

Does anyone know where I can find 1024 Buckeye vids? I only saw part of the webcast.

Total regional championships from a modified Lavery Excel Sheet

Code:
Archimedes	22
Curie	24
Galileo	36
Newton	33
We don't have as many wins as other divisions, but I think we do have the quality bots it takes to win it all. When 686 dropped, it shifted 1114 out of Archimedes, but it shifted 987, 1024 and 1124 into the division, which is a good trade in my book

Do we have any bots that catapult/shoot/sling the balls as a projectile?

How many are "rabbits"?

How many are ball handlers with a claw or grabber?
Our primary Hybrid routine is designed to knock 2 balls in any target locations and get 3-4 lines (depending on ball locations). Video of this routine is at TBA semi final 2-2 at Philly. It is lane-based so the robocoach doesn't drive the robot, just tells it which balls to knock down. We also have routines to target the only the near of far balls so our partner can knock off the other ball. We look forward to working with the other great hybrid robots in this division.

Our robot is an arm shooter hybrid with a roller claw. To hurdle we raise the ball to about the height of the overpass, then use the roller, surgical tubing and pneumatics to shoot it over.
