If 1114 is gonna team up with 217 then Galileo will definitley take the champsionships...

Our team's in archimedes and i'm easily admitting that...

remember... it was "over" last year when the divisions were out... everyone said that Curie was gonna take it w/ 1114 and 330, that never happend. im not saying Galileo wont win, but i wouldnt be guarenteeing it

Bingo!

I mean, you have to agree that 1114 is definately a big favorite going into this thing, but even they would have to shudder a little bit if they were looking across the field at a combination of 71 and 365 or 1124, or maybe a 175 and 39 or 233...and heck, in order to do that, they have to make it out of one of the most stacked divisions in championship history. I would think that teams such as 103, 121, 40, and 254, only to name a few, would have alot to say about what goes on in the eliminations in just the division alone. There are quite a few interesting combinations out there which could make for the most exciting Einstien playoffs in recent memory. Anything can and will happen in Atlanta...thats why they play the games my friends. Either way, Galileo will be alot of fun to watch.

Andy, I agree with you. While 1114 has to be the favorite, I wouldn't bet on them, or anyone. Simply too much can happen with the match shcedules and alliance selections.

The eliminations in each division will be great, but I have a feeling that due to the massive firepower and talent present in Gali, we will have the most exciting tourney.

Galileo vs Newton in the finals! Now, lets debate who has the better chance of winning.

I agree. Last year, if you guys remember, 1114 and 330 were the two highest-ranked robots in FIRST by the CD community. Both were in Curie. 1114 lost one match, which dropped them down quite a bit in rankings on the field. 330 was second. A lot of people were afraid of what would happen if they got together. The first seed dealt with that situation--1114 declined, as did 330. #1 seed proceeded to beat 1114 in the semis. 330 then beat the #1 alliance and went to Einstein.

Oh, and in the one match that 1114, 330, and the eventual #1 seed were together--they had a battle of it.

Anything can happen.

Galileo is quite possibly the most stacked division ever.
It is our first time in Galileo and we are definitely excited.
