Archimedes 2014!

[Lightfoot26]

1625 is happy to be a part of such an excellent division! Haven't competed in St. Louis since 2011, and this is our first showing on Archimedes! Good luck to everyone!

Also, being in the same division as 2056 brings me back to the days of the 2010 champs in Atlanta, where we won Galileo with them and 3138! Ahhhh, gooood times!

[dellagd]

Unbelievably excited for champs. 2nd time the team has gone, first time for me. Cant wait to see the competition on a world stage.

2607 will see you there!

And yeah, team 20 will be great to see and their 2012/2013 CT regional partner 195 also here.
These guys are really great; was really intense playing with them (and losing to them ) in the finals in 2012/2013

And similar things can be said for so many of the other teams here.

Team 20 and 195 are almost unstoppable when they're together. Both never fail to put on a good show.

Can't wait to see your fantastic swerve drive in St. Louis. Your bot is always beautiful to watch with those swerve wheels. It makes me want to experiment with holonomic drivetrains.

I just secured the Lead Robot Inspector position for the Archimedes division. Looks like you guys have to put up with me again! Sorry about that.

1939 is super excited to be on Archimedes this year! Looms like a great group of teams.

Looks like it is just us and 2978 from Missouri. Most of the other teams from MO seem to have ended up in Newton.

One week to go!

Lots of great teams across the board in this division! Some great MAR teams 357, 2607, 2590, 484, 2180, 1089, and us (103)!

Team 195, The CyberKnights are pumped to be in this division with so many familiar and impressive teams!

There just might be a bit of confusion with Team 4911, ALSO named the CyberKnights Quite the coincidence!

This ought to be one heck of a competition. Some of the alliances capable of being formed here are downright scary. A lot of good power forward types. I'm pumped up.
I've been thinking about alliance composition and strategy since I saw the division list and it's driving me nuts. Why can't next week come a little faster .

If you want to use it at the competition, don't forget to download it before leaving, internet will probably be sketchy there, even on good phones.

Wow. Our Projected OPR is 222...
Where'd that come from? ha ha
Care to explain for my lack of understanding?
Looks like we have some proving to do. See you all on the fields, have the best of luck!

Yes. Hello! I am a senior on 4911 the CyberKnights. We are a rookie team to FRC this year. Our school mascot is the Knight so it seemed only natural to pick the name CyberKnights. It wasn't until about halfway through the season that we realized team 195 had the same name, except for their's has a space in between the two words (in the FRC Spyder App).

I am so PUMPED for worlds! Good luck everyone!

The Cyber Knights (Team 195) from Southington CT hare happy to share our name with you! Sometimes our name is together and sometimes separate depending where you look.

Wishing your team all the best and congrats on making it to STL as rookies!

Awesome news... I worked with you doing inspections last year at Championships. Remember the team with the head light?

My team qualified this year and is in this division, so we'll get to work together again.

Now if I could only get to inspect my own team... LOL!!!

[MCMechTech]

3959 is super excited to be attending our first championship! We look forward to competing with some of the legendary teams in FIRST.
