Top 5 Bots per Division-Einstein Predictions

[Corey Balint]

Out of boredom and curiousity, I decided to make this thread.
I want to see what you all think will be the top 5 bots to watch out for, in each division. Put your 5 teams in order. I'll post mine later.
Archimedes.
Curie.
Galileo.
Newton.
Go.

Then, make your Predictions for Einstein.

[Alex Cormier]

Arch- 217, 233, 33, 126
Curie- 1114, 469 ,610, 378, 70
Gal- 1126, 118, 494, 177, 173
Newton- 25, 1503, 111, 254, 195

Arc- 217 will choose 233 and go very far.
Curie- 1114 will take 1680 and do half way decent.
Gal-1126 will take 494 and make Einstien
Newton- I don't want to think about it right now.

every time I see the team list for Newton, I shudder. *shudders*

[Chris]

Just because i'm equally as bored, and unproductive

Galileo:1126,118,494, 173,1276
Curie: 1114,469,121,1680, 65
Archimedes: 233, 217, 20, 138, 191
Newton: 111, 71, 1503, 25, 254


Its gonna be interesting.
Best of luck to everyone going to Atlanta

Chris Carnevale
Team 229

I feel that favorites can win however I have this weird feeling inside that is telling me the underdog robots will do good this year.

[Lil' Lavery]

Arch-217, 233, 343, 330, 33 "sleepers":1610, 357
Curie-1114, 469, 175, 1680, 70 "sleepers": 435, 1511, 222
Galileo-1126, 494, 118, 177, 16 "sleepers":190, 384, 237, 173
Newton-25, 254, 1503, 111, 968 "sleepers": 176, 1261, 40

Archimedes: 217 will likely win, probably with 233 (or 343, very similar design and identical results, a win and semi-finals) along for the ride.

Curie: A strong chance 1114 and 1680 will join forces, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a triplet/469 or a triplet/175 combo walking away division champions, especially if one of them is ranked above the triplets. A 469/70 or a 469/175 could knock off the 1114/1680 combo though.

Galileo: 494 and 118 join forces and take the division by storm.

Newton: Oh so many possible combinations of pain......
25/1503 and 25/254 sound like the scariest combos to me, and if one of them is formed, they could win the entire event. But don't sleep on 111 if they can get paired with another "big gun".

Einstein: Either Newton or Curie walk away Champs, I'm leaning twoards Newton. But everyone though Archimedes would win last year....


Edit: adjusted "wildcards" to "sleepers" for a more accurate representation of what I meant. These teams represent teams that are very dangerous, but not as "high-profile". They could potentially make a very excellent 2nd/3rd robot on an alliance, or be the teams that "sneak" into the top 8 to become and alliance captain.

No mention of 25/111? Interesting.

Corey, the thread's only been open for 45 minutes. Give 'em time.

Well I meant Sean's post only...but still jeez...

[Tim Delles]

Galileo - 16, 118, 365, 494, 1126

1126 picks 118, while 494 picks 16. -------- 1126 wins Galileo

Curie - 70, 79, 121, 395, 1114

1114 picks 121, while 70 picks 395. -------- 1114 wins Curie

Archimedes - 60, 217, 233, 343, 375

217 picks 233, while 375 picks 343 --------- 217 wins Archimedes

Newton - 25, 111, 254, 492, 1503

25 picks 111, while 254 picks 1503 ---------- 25 wins Newton

***Given that the divisions are set up as follows***

EINSTEIN SEMI-FINALS
Newton Def. Curie
Archimedes Def. Galileo

EINSTEIN FINALS
Newton Def. Archimedes

There is my picks.

**For those that read it previously sorry, I do not think 118 will spawn 2 robots. Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. They should be fixed now.**

[nuggetsyl]

It is all about who you pick second round. We have scouted 80 % of the teams in our division. If we get lucky enough to seed in the top 8 then i think we will be in a great position. Being able to say no is a big deal not because you think a team is bad but because you do not want to get paired up with a robot that does the same thing you do.

Where is Galelao in that finals list

Archie- 217, 233, 343, 357 (if they play like they did at UCF) and 103, for wild cards, i got a couple of Defencive bots, watch out for 4 and 1902

I think 217 will take 233 and 4 along for a trip to einstine

Curie- 1114, 1680, 469, 70, 121 wild cards, 710(D-Fence) 180, 222, 1511, 1906

I think that 1680 will be low enough that they might slip by, (not with all the face value that is falling on them here on CD) and could end up with 1114/469. That allince books a ticket to Einstine

Galloleao- 1, 16, 86, 237, 341 ...ahhh, i give up

Newton- 25, 111, 254, 1503, 11, etc.......maybe us as a wild card if we can actually get everything working

25/111/229 will take it all the way
(yes, i think 229 will be sticking around that long)

Anyone else just get an odd vision of Hawaiian and Tye-die shirts celebrating together on Einstein?

sounds like somebody is afraid of this combo too....

[jgannon]

A: 217, 233, 296, 330, 1902
C: 70, 175, 180, 395, 1114
G: 45, 177, 494, 1038, 1680
N: 25, 111, 254, 968, 1503

(It's so hard for me to leave 71 and 103 out, but I just can't fit 'em in there.)

[JackN]

Galileo-177, 1126, 494, 173, 16 Wild card 547 or 27
Sparx and the Martians will align facing 177 and 173 in the finals. The 1126/494 aliance is just to hard to stop though.
Curie-That one team from Canada that one three regionals, 469, 70, 1024, 175 Wild Card 1680 222 395 451 (451 is the best robot no one has ever heard of)
I think 1114 and the Las Guerillas will align and break at least 120 points no matter who their partner is
Archimedes-233, 217, 343, 103, 60 Wild Card Killer Bees 33
The Chickens and Pink against MiM and the Cybersonics in the finals. A showdown for the ages with Pink and the Chickens coming out on top, barely.
Newton-111,25,1503, 254, 85 Wild Card 176, 71, 1272 and 968
If Wildstang and Raider Robotix can get together there might be a match where the scoring system EXPLODES. 1503 and 85 would be a similar combination as 111 and 25. That would be the finals match, unless 71 and 254 can pull some magic and knock them off. I think 111/25 will be playing on EInstein

Galileo Vs Curie
The Las Guerillas and Simbotics are able to stop the Martians and Sparx but barely, heading to the finals.
Archimedes Vs Newton
Pink and The Chickens are in for a battle, but they pull the upset of the century. They find the $@#$@#$@#$@#$@# in the armor of 111 (Only shoot at corners of ramp) and 25 (Only human load?).
Curie Vs Archimedes
This is when we get our second two time national champion. The Las Guerillas and Simbotics know what they are playing for and bring the pain. both aliances score in the hundreds both matches but Curie eeks out the Win.
