After taking that information and giving point values to how well the teams did (4- Won...3 Finalist....etc. and if they didn't make the playoffs i used there winning percentage) and then averaging them by the number of regionals and then multiplying by a consistency value (1 for 1 regional and .3 added to that for however many regionals they went to such as 1.6 for 3 regionals) here is how our division breaks down accordingly:
1. 234

Two excellent tube scorers and an okay def. bot can outscore any other robots with ramps.

At both Palmetto and Peachtree ramps were a big factor. A good combo for an alliance is two good scorers and 1 good defensive robot. Kell did very well at Peachtree. That alliance made it to the finals with a combination of good scoring and Kell's defense and ramps.

At Palmetto, the finals came down to the ramps. One alliance had 3 scorers the other had two and a defensive ramp bot. The ramp team got 60 bonus point in each of their two wins in the finals which lead to them being Region Champs.

Just Wondering....

How do teams, 2165 and 2166, get into the same division??

FIRST changed the 1,2,3,4 division sorter slightly.
Check out the odd sequence here
Notice a repeating pattern? cause I don't

[Donut]

I don't think 365 deserves a spot only 4 places ahead of us, they performed far better at their Regional events than we did. It's just for fun anyway though, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Going off that list though, I predict that at least 1 of the Curie winning alliance members comes from below spot #50 on that list.

[johnr]

i thought maybe first was dividing countries evenly, but a quick look shows we have five from canada and archimidies has none.

Wow! I haven't even realised that they were in our division. I'm super excited now! I loved them when they visited us, they were so adorable at GM and then when we visited them at Detroit Regional. I hope that ya'll do awesome!

It has a sample format for each team to modify with robot data and a picture

It appears that FIRST went out of their way to distribute the regional finalists and champions equally among the four divisions. That is why the 1, 2, 3, 4 sorting model was not followed in 2007. Each of the other divisions has roughly 30 champs or finalists.

Thanx I posted our team info on there I think everyone should post their info on there so that we have a good scouting information database on the Curie Division.
