LET'S GO ARCHIE, LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Koko Ed]

I'm always excited about the championships.
Alot of familiar teams from last year.
As I learned from last year (when Archie was considered the toughest division. Perhaps ever) Just because you don't have the strongest division doesn't mean Archie doesn't have a chance to take it all.
WHole divisions don't go to Einstien. A three team allaince does and that team could be better than what comes out of those "tougher" divisions ( As Archie learned last year).

Can't wait, second archie year in a row for 1138. =D

[Jeff K.]

Can't wait!!

Woot for userbars!



lol

I think this is the first time we have been in Archimedes.

But this division doesn't look weak at all. We have metal being motioned towards a flock of chickens dressed in pink doing a thunder dance while being chased by a swarm of KillerBees, while the chief watches a technical panther, who is stalking a hookie but carefully eyes the guard which is directly behind Mr Roboto ... who views his newfound home in amazement and an eagle playing chess with the cat just eXclaimed a cyclone is moving in!

Its going to be fun!

[looneylin]

ARCHI - MEDES!!!!

I'm soo pumped! I've even written our division a story!

[Rafi Ahmed]

Everyone over here in SoCal is excited. See you all at Championship!

[Rohith Surampudi]

ARCHIMEDES = SOOO AWESOME

is there a difference between each division? i have no clue man. i was thinking it was separated by what part of the US they were from, but that isnt it.

Teams get sorted into their division by their team number, If you look at the list most of the time every fourth team is in the same division (where that doesn't happen theres usually a team pending and they will fill in the missing spot for each division).

If you look at the 8 lowest number teams:
1 Galileo
4 Archimedes
9 Curie
11 Newton
16 Galileo
20 Archimedes
22 Curie
25 Newton

every fourth team

At least thats how I understand it working.

[neo]

this is when i notice that i'm not good with patterns.

[rufu5]

has anyone compiled the stats to see how many:

regional winners
EI winners
chairmans winners
past national winners
regional award winners

are in our division? or any other helpful stats to stack our division against the others? think it would be pretty interesting to see

The division has 2 of the 3 winners from VCU. Ought to make for some fun times.

I'm sitting in my class waiting for the boredom to end and putting together different teams on alliances. We may have fewer "Awesome Robots" but the stategy coming out of these matches should make for some fun times Friday night, trying to figure out who you want to be alligned with.
