My thought as well. We were able to triple more than once with 3 long base bots on the practice field (long base sideways/mecanum/long base), just didn't replicate during the match.

I've very pleased to see the spread of talent through all the divisions. Should make for exciting elimination matches/alliance selections!

EDIT:

As for Archimedes I'm predicting a Canadian Domination this year Im guessing 1114 gets 1st seed, and picks 2056 and 1 other Canadian team (possible 781, 4001 (2056's first pick in GTR West), 2809, 4334)
Hard to think one of them will seed first with HOT loving the Co-op bridge and being perfect with it at MSC, and pretty close at the other three events they attended, oh and by the way, they can score a lottt.

Re: Divisions 2012

Newton looks strong with the West Coast power. 330, 488, 1540, 1622, 1662, 1717, and the likes. Along with teams like Wildstang, Robonauts, etc., I think we're going to see a Newton dominance. (My guess: 1717, 111, 118)

If you are going to mention West Coast power, don't forget there is more to the West Coast than California. 1983, 488, and 1540 are all representing the North West, and all of them are in the top twelve OPR wise for Newton.

Sorry, I'm geographically dumb. :\ Yeah, we got got a ton of power from Washington and Oregon! Just more power to the west coast! Newton is getting better and better by the minute.

There's also 2 of the best teams from michigan, 469, and 548. Along with them there's 68, 2009 World Finalist. Newton is going to be a great division! I'm hoping for an all michigan alliance again. (just like 2009) Archimedes vs. Newton for Einstein???

If that alliance happens I will be in awe. None of those three teams will be available for the 24th pick yet alone the 5th or 6th pick.

Re: Divisions 2012

New list:

1. 469, 1717, ???
2. 111, 118, ???
3. 488, 330, ???


I'm not good at predicting yet, but this is my pick.

469 and 1717 are the two best shooters in the game, so one of them will be seeding first, and picking the other. Then, most likely a feeder bot that can play a little defense (256 would fit in perfectly here...) will be a 3rd pick. Most matches will be the same: 1717 and 469 score immensely high in teleop. The third robot will be on the opponent's side by the 115 second mark, and will feed balls over until the 40 second mark. Then, I see a triple balance coming. The second alliance will have 111 on it, and most likely 118 will have worked on their shooting enough to get a faster and more accurate shot, so 111 will choose 118. Their 3rd team will either be a pure-offensive bot, or a bot that does a little bit of offense, and feeds balls to them, though the former is more likely than the latter. It's a bit of a tossup here. Both 111 and 118 are great offensive machines in teleop and hybrid, but when it comes to the bridge will they be able to pull off a triple? If they can, they are definitely getting to the finals of Newton, but if they can't it looks like the third alliance will. The third alliance will have either 330 or 488 as captains, choosing the other. Both are very accurate scorers, and I think they'll both see that as an advantage in each other when they get on the field together. Both 330 and 488 have had a lot of practice playing great defense, so though they'll be doing offense, they'll want a partner who can play a near equally well offense, and can control their alliance bridge. Balance it, tip it to a side, anything, as long as they have control of a bridge, they're good. 330 can play awesome defense, and feed well, too, so in teleop we can expect to see them crossing over a few times and messing up any fender shooters. When it comes down to finale time, 488 has experience with bridge defense, so I think it'll be stalling out the opponents. 330 will mess with them too, but at the last second go do a double balance with the third alliance partner.


@O'Sancheski: It's the dream alliance. Very unlikely, but in the rare chance it does...

Amazing that 4 of the 6 Georgia teams are in Archimedes. It'll be fun to play with some of our friends from Peachtree and all of the other great teams in the division.

Unstoppable until Einstein. Unfortunately, while I love those teams, looking around there are very few things unique about them. As the championships come closer, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of the 5/6 ball autons, the extremely high scores, everything. What's going to stand out is any obvious advantage over the other team, and what's going to win is an unobvious advantage over the other team. 67 and 469 know each other well. I think with the two of them against each other, we're going to see massive strategies unfold, and it will rely on their alliance partners to unbalance the equal skill between the two. I'd go as far as to say 1717 equals 2056 in scoring, and bridge balancing, so it's up to the third partner.
