FRC Card Deck

[TPNigl]

I'd definitely buy one too!

[CurseofDragon33]

I would like to order two if I can. Thank you.

Alright, so I've worked out some of the teams for the cards. I like the idea of going back in time a few years with the Chairman's award winners - they will be the four aces - but for the rest of the cards, I think that 2012 would be better, because if I featured several year's worth of robots, too many great robots would go unrecognized. Below is the table, but I can't seem to find a good list of the Einstein participants anywhere. I might have had a great seat in the finals, due to a mix-up with the awards (long story), but 12 teams is far too much to remember. Where can I find a list? I assume one is on CD somewhere.

I need help with the rest! What teams out there have done extremely well? What teams have pulled off the impossible? I'm afraid I don't know that much about the exploits outside of Michigan - I need help.

p.s. 862 was my team, and 3322 will be; they get the Joker spots. That is, unless people feel their exploits were good enough to get them promoted...

Kickstarter should be up and running in a week or so.

The 2012 Einstein teams, in order of captain, first pick, and second pick, are:

Archimedes:
2056
1114
4334

Curie:
233
987
207

Galileo:
180
25
16

Newton:
548
118
2194

I hope this helps!

I can get you some of a list. I'm using the FIRST divisional results. I'll pull the winners and finalists from each division in case a winner is accounted for elsewhere. (At the event, the Finalist teams from each division are the backups for the winners. One chance to pull a randomly chosen one if you haven't already used the backup team card.)

2056, 1114, 4334, Archimedes (alias the Eh-Team). With 1114 already showing up due to the Chairman's, you could pull in the backups, any one of 2826, 67, 4143. (With the setup you have shown, I'd pull 2826 in as 67 is elsewhere already.)

233, 987, 207, Curie. Backups 341, 254, 78. World Finalists.

180, 25, 16, Galileo. Backups 231, 744, 1714. World Champions.

548, 118, 2194, Newton. Backups 68, 330, 639.


In other news: 326 has yet to win the Championship Chairman's Award. I think you're looking for 842. (Or 236. Or 365. My time memory is a bit fuzzy on the CCA.)

If you're doing a 2012 deck, 1717, 365 (if they're not already included by virtue of CCA), and 1551 (get a still of them sniping an incoming shot out of the air) should be included. I think there's another MAR team that did really well, but I can't remember who. I just remember it being a tossup between them and 365 (or was it 341?).

236 won the CCA in 2009, 842 won it in 2008.

[quinxorin]

Yep - 236.

I think that the teams that set the world high score for rebound rumble should get mentioned here. In Curie semifinal 1-2, the alliance of 341, 254, and 78 scored 128 points. In that match 254 scored a ball in hybrid from their alliance bridge, the alliance put up a total of 37 hybrid points, and the alliance triple balanced. All three of these feats are impressive as well, and here is a link to a video of the match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Tb4dP2RmA

If you are looking for great robot teams, maybe look at FRCTop25? That might be a good place to start..
As far as great RCA teams, there was a CD thread with a spreadsheet on teams who have won it multiple times (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=42) Perhaps look at people (insert number)-peated. For example, I am think FRC1311 has won RCA at peachtree the for past 3 years.

Cool, looks like I get to play Euchre with my team according to this card scheme.

[Eagleeyedan]

I'd love to have one!

I think you might be thinking of 1218, who going into MAR champs had won two districts with 341, a district chairman's award, and finished as a MAR Championship Finalist as an alliance captain.



I would definitely be interested in buying a pack of these.

That's the one! I remembered the discussion from earlier in the season.

[quinxorin]

Alright, Kickstarter (actually, Amazon Payments) is being annoying. I don't know when I'll have it ready.
