We don't use fancy tools like that, but we might need some wood glue or something

And the year before......and this year.

I think it matters more that we're giving out all this help and parts out of our pockets. More than what we have to give. We have a lot not all, but you can't bring every tool or part known to man and fit it in a pit sized box with a robot and a few people.

Please accept my apologies, I wasn't trying to criticize or minimize your efforts. My post was really a jest targeted at the NERDS (who's awesome robot is crafted from wood). I wouldn't expect any team to even own cabinet makers' power tools (unless they're sponsored by New Yankee Workshop).

It's awesome that your team is offering assistance and opening your pit to other teams. You're setting a high standard for GP at Championship and deserve kudos for your hospitality.

Now that would be a sight to see - a Norm Abrams FRC robot!

Man, I wish 832 ended up with us and 2415 in Archimedes.

[Tyler Hicks]

He is right, you might not know much about a team, but doesn't mean they are not any good. It is going to be very challenging.

[Treadus]

I thought I might let you guys in on a little secret. Myself and a few others from 1730 have been working on a special present. It will be in our pit and there is no way you can miss it. I'm encouraging you all to stop by our pit, and take a few minutes to get a taste of what Team Driven does. We are still puting a lot of work into it, but this will definitely be a FIRST? Haha, oh man. Come check out the newest addition to our pit. Oh and feel free to stop by anyways Good luck!

Similar to what I did last year, I ran through 193 simulated qualification match schedules (all 102 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's average opr for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 193 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.

When I went back and looked at last year's data, a team finished within 1 standard deviation of their average seed 60% of the time, and within 2 standard deviations 95% of the time. Only 3 teams seeded higher/lower then their min/max seed.

There is now 88 teams in Newton this year. Who is the extra team?

Looks like 687 is now in. Welcome!

But... why and how?

[Mike Starke]

Newton just feels like home to me. 340 has been on Newton 5 times out of the last 6 years.
There is a lot of Newton pride here, lets make Archimedes, Curie and Galileo wish they were in our division! Let's have some non stop cheering and excitement!
NEWTON PRIDE!!!!

Thanks Joe! I don't suppose you intend to rerun the simulation with the addition of 687, will you?
