Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

What about a Copernicus Division?

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

It probably won't happen, but an Asimov Division would be cool.

I think we need another woman represented in FIRST. 1 in 5 just doesn't cut it.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

I like Tesla and Fermi for division field names.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

If nothing else, a Tesla Division would be a great opportunity to ask Elon Musk to donate to FIRST.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

I think Tesla, Kepler, Carver, Hopper would be the best 4 they could add. Very diverse additions: 1 Serbian, 1 German, 1 African-American, 1 Woman.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Some of the other girls and I on 1678 have talked about this briefly. We wanted to see more women's names, came up with Lovelace, and then we ran into the issue of not being able to think of anyone else who wasn't still alive.
I would suggest Rosalind Franklin, except that that's already the name of an FTC field.

There are more people than I expected that I would put into that strange category of role model/legend/inspiration/scientist that feel like potential division names. At first I couldn't think of any of them, but a quick glance through my bookshelves and internet search history brought up a good handful.
These all happen to be mathematicians (or close to it). I guess that says something about my background.
Sophie Germain, Arthur Cayley, Alicia Boole Stott, Emmy Noether, Niels Abel, Alan Turing, Charles Babbage.

And, of course, another vote for Hopper and Lovelace.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Earheart Division

Amelia Earheart, the famous pilot and military nurse.

Barton Division

Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross

Walker Division

Madame C.J. Walker, first female self-made millionare in America.

Blackwell Division

Elizabeth Blackwell, first woman to graduate from medical school.

Roebling Division

Emily Warren Roebling, lead of CAD (the paper version ) on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tesla Division

Nikola Tesla, the one who gave us AC current and the coils that museums play Portal songs with.

Plato Division

Plato, teacher of Aristotle, Greek philospher.


I'm sure they're considering a lot of females for the new division names, especially after Dean Kamen's 50/50 speech, and I'm all for it. Madame Curie needs some friends.

My top four picks for new divisions in order

Schrodinger
Euclid
Pythagoras
Riemann

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

I said this in the other thread, but I think it'd be nice to have a bona fide mathematician, as opposed to the current dominance of physical scientists and engineers. My suggestions:

Galois (added pun-value for this one, also hugely under-appreciated)
Hilbert
Gauss
Weierstrass
Cauchy
Riemann
Abel

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Lovelace please.

However, other than that, as it happens, most of my favorite scientists are dead white guys.
I'd love to see

Faraday: tons of stuff about electrochemistry(batteries) and significant contribution to electromagnetics(motors and stuff). He also didn't have a lot of formal schooling, and thats why I like him so much.

and Tesla: Huge contributions to motors, and AC

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Meitner Field would be pretty cool.
I'd also settle for von Neumann or Fibonacci.
And, considering today's Google doodle, Hodgkin Field.

Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Hedy Lamarr actress and inventor, Lovelace, Hopper, Blackburn, Hodgkin, and many many additional deserving women.

Would love to see Feynman, Schroedinger, Tesla, and Kepler too.
