That will be one to watch for sure!
That division will either end strong, or cause a huge power struggle & go bezerk!

Along with 217 and 1114!

And 330!

Good - much better chance of great partners during qualifying (if the algorithm does its job) and guaranteed great alliances in elims.

I personally can't wait - Galileo should be an awesome time!

[Corey Balint]

There is absolutely no way to make any prediction right now. Galileo will be fun to watch. Every few matches will showcase an exciting team. Its a little more doubtful for 1114 now. There are so many combinations that could be unstoppable. I'm not saying Galileo will win though. Each other division also has a few good teams, that, if they got together could just as easily dominate.

Seed 6-8 in Galileo if you're a good team and man, your 2nd round choice is going to be fantastic. I think 148 is crying out with joy, because they are the perfect 2nd round bot. In such a stacked division, they will be a 2nd round pick, rather than in a weak division, a 1st rounder.

Whoever wins Galileo wins it all. Somebody else joins Beatty in the multiple win club.

You heard it here first.

You forgot to add a third partner in Newton.......233/968/359.
We actually were all together in a match for an epic 138 score!
As the Hawaiians would say.....Hana Hou! (One more time!)

[65_Xero_Huskie]

Galileo def. looks like the strongest division.
O.o

[IbleedPink233]

That was pretty sweet. . .
Seems that people are forgetting that 2056 is in Newton, as well. They have been a dominating team this year, as well.

Read the disclaimer in the initial post on this thread.

This info is coming from the official FIRST team list, but until they post the team lists for each division to the "Championship Event Info" page, you can't consider it to be truly official.

Knowing everyone's penchant to refresh the team list every five minutes around this time of year, it would be extreme folly for FIRST to populate the division column of the team list and let the entire world view it if they weren't 100% certain that information was final and valid.

Rochester is gonna ROCK Curie!!!

Careful now, wasn't Curie stacked last year with have 16, 34, 48, 67, 118, 330, 469, 910, and 1114
and didn't Newton end up winning the whole thing?

[Dan Richardson]

and newton was stacked the year before, and archimedes ended up taking it home. Its hard to pick against stacked divisions, but many times what happens is the super teams get broken up because of a 1st seeder thats not quite up to par with the rest. Decent team, with some decent luck = super alliance breaker uppers. But there may just be too many good teams to see this happen.

[MDiff]

Archimedes watchers should also look out for RUSH (27)

As for Curie last year...
interesting things happened.

[Nawaid Ladak]

i think gali will have the best matches, but in the end, newton will win it.... as much as i hate to say that, all the key stats that i look at say that.... look in the OPR thread for more info

[Akash Rastogi]

Wow, for my first year going to Championships, this is looking to turn into an awesome time thanks to all of these amazing teams. Can't wait to see you all. Good luck everyone
