Championship Community Predictions

[Theseusgoats]

I don't know enough about each division to pick a good second pick for each so only the top two robots listed here.

Archimedes: 1986-1501
Carson: 2052-2771 (potentially 1024)
Carver: 1114-359
Curie: 1983+3506
Galileo: 195-987
Hopper: 1678-971 (or 148, too hard to decide)
Newton: 254-1241 (or 118)
Tesla: 2056-33 (with the possibility of an upset from 4488-2363-2451, any 2 of 3, obviously not all 3 together)

Anyway, good luck to all the Indiana teams who went..
1501
868
1024
461
1747
4103
1529
45
135
6012

Also, I saw 3147 on hopper I think. Did they get through by the wait list thing.

I'll take a stab at predictions for the 2016 championship! I made these picks with the idea of maximizing the chances of one or both of the teams being right. There is definitely a lot of variability in this year's game and it seems guaranteed that some unexpectedly awesome alliances will make Einstein this year. I just tried to choose 2 teams from each division that I thought had pretty good chances of winning their divisions. So without further ado:

Newton: 67/254
Tesla: 1690/2056
Galileo: 195/987
Hopper: 148/1678
Curie: 3339/3990
Carver: 1114/359
Carson: 1024/1619
Archi: 1501/1986

I think there will be a lot of Michigan teams on Einstein, especially in the 3rd/4th bot slots. I was impressed with the Israeli teams when watching their regional so I picked 3339 and 1690 to win their divisions - hopefully they got lots of practice! Newton was hard to decide but I thought a 67-254 alliance would be awesome. They've never paired up before! On Carson, 1024 has to win their division. Last time they won all their pre-CMP events (2008), they also won their division. Also I'm a big 1619 homer.

We'll see what happens!

(45 uses scorched earth)

Newton division may be stacked like flapjacks, but untouchable outer works shooters and dukes of hazard d-bots will win out over low bar lobbers every time. There are robots that are just straight up immune to courtyard defense, and they have a clear advantage over those who are not. If anyone is going to take down the newton alliance, its going to be someone like 2481.

Newton has 5172 that fires laser beams from the outer works completely immune to courtyard D.

They can go up against the driver-station wall turn their turret towards the tower and fire laser beams too to avoid courtyard D too.

I think a great question would be is that will 177 make another Einstein appearance this year.

100% agree. This team will do great.

[Arteezy_RL]

I'm surprised that I'm not seeing more of RUSH 27 in here. They are probably the strongest bot coming out of Michigan this year.

I agree, however, they are up some extremely good competition, with 330, 359, 1114, and 2481. I think these traditional powerhouse teams are the one's being predicted because of reliability and consistency over the years, as well as reputation. I think 27 stacks up well with the competition, should be exciting to watch!

[Lij2015]

A couple teams in Newton I think people are going to be underestimating are 1241 (I know this is kinda obvious) and 1519. Absolutely great robots that have proven their worth.
