Hopper over Newton in 3
Carver over Curie in 2

Tesla over Archimedes in 2

Hopper over Tesla in 3

1678 and 148 get their second World Championships each, with 1678 becoming only the third (and last) team to win back-to-back Championships. 364 and 2990 get their first World Championships.

Oregon (and PNW): 2990
Texas: 148
Virginia: 1086

Bolded teams have previous championships. Underlined teams have previously gone to Einstein. Bolded states/provinces/countries are sending their first teams to Einstein.

I am not sure about this, but it seems that 1986 is the first team from Missouri to make it to Einstein!

Before 2016, NY had been to Einstein twice, with 1507 in 2009 and 20 in 2015. Now we have 4 teams on Einstein. New York really stepped up our play this year!

INSIGHTS

217 and 148 are each going for their third championship, though this time they'll be on opposite sides of the glass in quarterfinals.

330, 987, and 1678 are all going for their second championship.

1678 has been on Einstein 4 years in a row.

148, 330, 987, 2056, 3339, and 3476 have been on Einstein 2 years in a row.

987 has been on Einstein a total of 5 times.

This year, some fantastic teams made Einstein for the first time. 1986 has been a Missouri powerhouse for a long time, and 2122 has been excelling for years. 1501 and 2052 have also been great, and they finally get a chance on the big stage.

This is a big year for the state of New York, sending four teams to Einstein. It's also a great year for Israel - they sent two of their regional champions to Einstein - and for Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, and Oregon.

492 won last year but never played on Einstein.

Also Curie was a perfect reverse bracket. 5-8 won quarters, 7 and 8 won semis, and 8 won. Has that ever happened before?

330's drive coach was the driver in 2005. Also 330 allows middle school students so their turn over rate is more like 8 years. I think they have only had 2 drivers since 2005.

492 was the 4th robot on 2056's alliance last year, winning their field

I hope

Last chance for almost certainly wrong predictions?

Win probabilities:
QF - Newton vs Hopper (Newton 0.599)
QF - Galileo vs Carson (Galileo 0.691)
QF - Curie vs Carver (Carver 0.886)
QF - Archimedes vs. Tesla (Tesla 0.566)
SF - Newton vs Galileo (Newton 0.609)
SF - Carver vs Tesla (50/50, Tesla?)
F - Newton vs Tesla (Newton 0.709)

Let's see what happens!

I hope this no live scoring thing isn't a regular occurrence for the afternoon.

Along with no auton/teleop ending sounds.

Edit: There we go

Who won WFA? I heard Eric from 316.

First match on Mass of Hopper v Newton would have gone very differently if there had been sounds and score displays.

Edit: oh thank goodness
