Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

With both the Normal algorithm and the Serpentine algorithm right now 1646 is in the same division as 461, our fellow Purdue team. Now only if we could get the third Purdue team, 1747, in Curie then scouting will be that much easier with our 3 teams working together.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Now what if FIRST really went radical, and took the first group of 4 teams, and randomly assigned them to divisions. Then 4 more, random again. Rinse and repeat until all assigned.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Or what if all teams were randomally assigned to divisions, regardless of groupings of four numbers?

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

How about organizing teams alphabetically by the first letter of their location, then doing a ABCD ABCD or ABCD DCBA algorithm? Not really random, but it would give a pretty good illusion of randomness and not require tons of processing.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Wow. Division by division obvious highlights (going serpentine):

Newton: 11, 16, 45, 47, 67, 111, 171, 191, 254, 330, 337, 365, 469, 503, 968, 1114, 1902,

Galileo: 20, 40, 48, 70, 108, 118, 175, 195, 294, 359, 368, 987, 1124, 1503, 2337

Curie: 25, 39, 71, 100, 126, 141, 176, 179, 217, 341, 1024, 1126, 1251, 1504, 1717, 2056

Archi: 27, 33 ,75, 79, 102, 103, 121, 148, 233, 234, 343, 357, 386, 494, 1574, 1625, 1629.

Wow. Although it will probably change because of New York, some of these (particularly Newton and Curie) seem incredibly scary.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

Karthik posted the division list thread last year on 4/4. Champs began 4/12.

Based upon this info, one would predict the official division list will come out next week on Wednesday 4/9.

I do wonder about this "serpentine" method we've seen on TBA. I sorted the 2007 Championship list by team number in Excel, and the following pattern appeared repeatedly:

Archimedes
Curie
Newton
Galileo

Interspersed within this pattern, you'd randomly see teams assigned to divisions in the order "Newton Galileo Archimedes Curie". And down at the bottom of the list, a block of four contiguous 2007 rookie teams was given a divsional assignment that fit no pattern.

So what config will they use this year? Who the heck knows?????

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

You guys keep making predictions, but you keep forgetting 1477. We won 2 regionals, and our record is 30-1-0. That puts us in the top for the teams that have won 2 regionals, and right behind 1114 and 1024.

Wow, its so awesome to even be mentioned among such an amazing group of teams. Its truly an honor just getting to know some of them too. Whatever happens in Atlanta, I will always remember this as one of my favorite years in FIRST, and you guys have made that happen along with this year's team.

There is very little mention of teams in the 2xxx range. I think 2024 definitely should be in there, especially as a 3rd partner in the alliance.Their tenacious D, ability to still score, place on the rack and strategies/driving will be there. I know that you folks know too.

Re: 2008 Championship Division Predictions

If you include 171 on the list, I think you need to include both 93 and 2062. All three of those teams were very comparable at Wisconsin and all three are regional winners.

Couldn't agree more. If anything CORE was the best team at Wisconsin.
