kurie prolly wins it all and kills the kurse with

5326, 5297, 5191, 5179 (prolly)

i dont know why everyone chooses the tiny number teams bigger number must = better robot.

It probably might change then, if it wasn't the same two years in a row.

Archimedes- 27-1477-1538-1540
Curie 254-987-2468-1902
Galileo $148.67-1023-1730
Newton- 1986-16-1806-340, In my dreams.

It's been A v C and G v N since at least 2006

I've talked about them a bit with some of my teammates, and we decided that any alliance would be happy with Warp 7 because they're so great at what they do. In my opinion, they have the potential to change the outcome of eliminations. I suggest that the teams in Curie pay close attention to them when making a pick list.

Thank you for the kind words, our whole team is so stoked to hear that.

If that prediction was to come true...

I'm ok with the dream, but who is taking an arrow to the knee?

I don't know that anyone would be taking an arrow to the knee. The division's pretty deep. Last year everyone was surprised when 610 fell to a 3rd pick, and I'm sure something similar could happen this year, just because there's so many good robots.

Has anybody interested in this thread taken a class on statistics?

To attempt a prediction of the outcomes of the divisions is an exercise in futility.

Too much data and random choices involved.
(Remember, these are high school students scouting and speculating. It's actually kind of cool, creative, and quite random.)

Two ideas:
- Not about the Robot.
- Einstein will be awesome this year (Goalie Bots!).

That being said, here is my exercise in futility:
Archimedes: 2056, 195, 319
Curie: 118, 4334, 4055
Galileo: 67, 558, 2337
Newton: 1114,16, 58

Haz Warren Buffett my 1 billion dollars?

The fourth picks will be .....Goalie Bots! With Cheesy Vision!

No scores over 200 on Einstein.
Remember, you heard it here FIRST

I like the odds of Galileo division winning go 67!!

Love the New England twist!

So I heard something from my mentor that had me wondering. I was told that when you pick that 4th robot, they are a solid and active part of the alliance. He said that that "4th" bot can come in anytime during any of your matches as long as you tell the ref and you could then also bring your "3rd" bot back in the next match or flip flop for whatever combination best suits for the next match. Is this true?
Thanks.

Yes, per 5.6.1

[Basel A]

Alright, I'm going to make my Einstein predictions the same way I make my FRCTop25 votes

Division: Alliance# Teams
Archimedes: #3 27, 33, 2137, 2834 (27-33 mandatory)
Curie: #3 1718, 469, 4362, 74
Galileo: #2 2337, 67, 862, 857 (67 will accept this time)
Newton: #8 3539, 314, 2054, 910 (how any of these teams could be a 3rd pick is beyond me)

Curie beats Archimedes
Newton beats Galileo

Newton beats Curie

The Cheesy Spam Cyber Squad is good name too.

Look forward to seeing y'all again, sir. Make it happen.

Yes, teams are swappable constantly. This not only allows for a backup that can be taken back out, but allows for a timeout for, say, a mechanum when you're about to go up against strong defense, or putting in an extra defender against a catching robot, etc.

Excellent idea, in my opinion. Allows for easier changing of strategy to suit the next match.
